Rabbit's Cage

Your Rabbit[s] cage is the most important thing you can buy for him/her (besides food)
You want to make sure you get a good one.
The cage you get depends on how large your rabbit is (or will get) If your Rabbit
isn't fully grown yet, you can sometimes tell how large s/he is going to get by the ears.
A Netherland Dwarf rabbit, for example will have small ears whereas a New Zealand Rabbit would have very large ears.
This is not true for all breeds of rabbits, it is best to look at rabbit book to identify
the type of rabbit you have so you can see how large it will get.
Most pets stores sell mongrels, or mixed-breed rabbits in which case you'll just have to wait and see.

The cage should be large enough for your rabbit[s] to hold a food bowl, a hay rack, a litter-box, and
should still have enough room for your rabbit[s] to move around. Make sure the cage
is tall enough for your rabbit[s] to jump and stand up in.
It is helpful for a cage to have a slide-out tray on the bottom for easy cleaning.
The cage should have a side door, so your rabbit can jump out on his own,
and a door on the top so you can lift your rabbit out. Do not get the first cage you see at the Pet Store
just because it says it's 'Specialy designed for Rabbits', most cages like this are supposed to be for
small rabbits, and are usually not big enough for even a Netherland Dwarf.

If your rabbit[s] isn't going to spend much time in his cage,
A good sized cage for one dwarf rabbit is at least:
18 in. Tall
23 in. x 19 in. wide
Of course, if your rabbit will have to be in his cage alot, you will have to get a larger cage to satisfy his needs.
If you have a very large breed of rabbit, like a New Zealand,
You might consider getting a small dog crate to use a cage instead of a regular
bunny cage.
