Rabbit house with pitched roof

swisspet rabbit house with pitched roof

The rabbit house with gable roof from swisspet is a cute little wooden house that offers your guinea pigs and/or dwarf rabbits a place to retreat to in their enclosure. Wood is a natural and breathable material and therefore very suitable for rodent furniture. The rabbit house is made from FSC-certified spruce wood. As the house is nailed, you should regularly check that it is not gnawed on too much to prevent injuries. If it is to be used long-term in an outdoor enclosure, we recommend coating it with an animal-friendly weatherproof varnish.

Benefits:

• Cozy retreat
• Ideal for dwarf rabbits & guinea pigs in an indoor or outdoor enclosure
• FSC-certified spruce wood
• Natural & customizable
• Durable & decorative
• Robustly built with a charming saddle roof in the classic small animal house style
• Dimensions: 50 x 40 x 36 cm

Note: As guinea pigs and rabbits are social animals, they should be kept in a group of at least two animals for species-appropriate husbandry. Please also note that the animals should have several places to retreat to, preferably all together. There should also be several opportunities for the animals to keep themselves occupied.

The legally prescribed minimum dimensions are not the same as keeping the animals in the best possible conditions. Basically, the bigger the better. For a truly happy animal life, we therefore recommend choosing the largest possible shelter and, in the case of rabbits and guinea pigs, providing a permanent run of several square meters.

Please observe the provisions of the Animal Welfare Ordinance. We also recommend that you carefully read the Swiss Animal Welfare brochure, which you can find under "Downloads".
