What type of bedding is best for rabbits?
Quality bedding such as hay or paper-based bedding is ideal. These materials provide comfort while helping to keep the hutch dry and hygienic. Avoid sawdust or wood shavings, as they can cause respiratory issues.

Why do I need a hutch cover?
A hutch cover helps protect your pets from harsh weather conditions, keeping them warm in winter and cool in summer. It also provides extra security, shielding them from wind, rain, and excessive sunlight.

How can I keep my rabbits entertained?
Providing a variety of toys and enrichment activities is key to keeping your pets happy. Tunnels, hideouts, chew toys, and treat-dispensing toys all encourage natural behaviours and help prevent boredom. A large run is also vital to ensure your pets have plenty of exercise.

How often should I clean my rabbit enclosure?
Spot cleaning should be done daily to remove soiled bedding and uneaten food. A thorough clean, including disinfecting the hutch and replacing bedding, should be done at least once a week to maintain a clean and healthy environment.

Do I need a water bottle or a water bowl for my small pets?
Both options can work well, but a water bottle helps keep the water clean and prevents spillage. Some pets prefer drinking from a bowl, so offering both can ensure they stay hydrated.

Can I use a hutch cover all year round?
Yes, hutch covers are designed for year-round use. They provide insulation during colder months and help regulate temperature in warmer weather. Many covers feature roll-up panels, allowing for additional ventilation when needed.

How do I stop my rabbits from chewing their hutch?
Rabbits naturally chew to keep their teeth healthy. Providing safe chew toys, wooden blocks, hay and wicker can help redirect their chewing behaviour away from the hutch.;

What is the best way to protect my pets from predators?
A sturdy, well-secured hutch with strong mesh and secure locks is essential. Placing the hutch in a sheltered location, using a hutch cover for added security, and supervising outdoor time in a run can help keep your pets safe.

Do guinea pigs need as much space as rabbits?
Rabbits may be smaller, but they still need plenty of space to move around and exercise. A spacious enclosure with access to a run ensures they have room to explore and stay active.
