Rabbit Hutches

Frequently asked questions

• What size rabbit hutch do I need?

  As a rough guide, a single small or medium rabbit needs enough room to stretch fully and stand up on its hind legs, and ideally access to a run for daily exercise. Larger breeds and pairs need more floor space, so a two-tier hutch or a model with an attached run suits them better. Each product page lists the exact dimensions in centimetres, so you can check it against your garden or the spot you have indoors before buying.

• Can these hutches stay outdoors all year round?

  Many of them are designed for outdoor use, with water-resistant asphalt roofs and treated wood that handle rain and damp. For winter, the elevated hutches that sit up off the ground are a good shout, as they keep the sleeping area drier and warmer. It's still worth adding extra bedding in cold weather and positioning the hutch out of strong wind and direct afternoon sun where you can.

• Are these hutches suitable for guinea pigs and other small animals?

  Yes, a good number of them work for guinea pigs, ferrets and similar small pets, and a few are roomy enough for small chicken setups too. The product titles and descriptions flag which animals each one suits. If you keep more than one type of small pet, the larger multi-section hutches give you the flexibility to house them comfortably.

• Do the hutches come flat-packed, and is assembly difficult?

  Most arrive flat-packed with the fixings and instructions included. Assembly is usually straightforward and needs only basic tools, though the bigger two-tier and 2-in-1 models naturally take a little longer to put together. Having a second pair of hands helps with the larger ones, mainly when you're lining up the panels and fitting the roof.

• How easy are they to keep clean?

  Cleaning is one of the things these hutches are built around. A lot of the models have slide-out or removable trays underneath, so you can pull the tray, empty it and wipe it down without disturbing your pet too much. Hinged tops and wide doors also make it easier to reach right into the sleeping and run areas for a proper clean.

• Do you sell hamster cages and indoor small pet housing?

  This category covers small pet housing more broadly, including options suited to indoor living for hamsters and other little animals alongside the rabbit hutches. Indoor housing tends to be more compact and lighter to move around, which is handy if you're keeping it in a living room or spare room rather than the garden.

• How much is delivery and how long does it take?

  Delivery is free across the UK mainland. Orders are dispatched within 3 to 5 working days, and there are no hidden fees, so the total at checkout is what you actually pay. Once your order is on its way, you'll be able to keep an eye on its progress through order tracking.

• What's the returns policy if I change my mind?

  If you change your mind or order the wrong item, you're welcome to return it. For these no-fault or change-of-mind returns, the cost of return postage would be down to you to cover. If something arrives faulty or damaged, that's handled differently, so it's worth getting in touch with the team so they can sort it out for you.
