How to Buy a Rabbit Cage

By eHow Pets Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Decide on the breed of rabbit you want as a pet before you buy a cage. Different breeds have different needs.
Step 2:
Determine the size of the cage. Know the size of the rabbit and ask a salesperson for the right size of food dish and water bottle for the rabbit.
Step 3:
Pick a place in your home for the rabbit cage that is out of the way, yet not isolated. Rabbits like human companionship.
Step 4:
Search online for rabbit cages that are more than a cube. Try to find a cage that has extensions so the rabbit can hop from room to room. This will help stimulate the rabbit and provide a change in atmosphere.
Step 5:
Select a rabbit cage that allows the door to remain open. Rabbits are trainable creatures. Train your rabbit to use litter boxes just like other domestic animals.
Step 6:
Survey your backyard fence in all or a portion of the space for the rabbit to exercise.
Step 7:
Purchase rabbit supplies at your local pet store. Shop for the rabbit cage last. The cage will need to be big enough to house the rabbit, food dishes and water bottle with enough room left over for the rabbit to hop around.
