Stackable Rabbit Cages
Using Stackable Rabbit Cages as the Foundation of Your Rabbitry
If you are planning to start a rabbitry or breed rabbits for sale as pets or for another reason, then you’re probably already aware of the space issues involved with keeping domesticated rabbits healthy and active. Even if you’re just a pet parent of several bunnies, having adequate space to keep your pets safe can be a challenge whether you keep your pets indoors or outdoors. 
Stackable rabbit cages can be the best solution for multiple pets or for those who consider rabbits as livestock.
Stackable rabbit cages are a great way to maximize available space for your rabbitry. Look for cages that have interlocking poles or legs to enable you to safely stack a number of cages, usually three, one on top of the other. Once stacked, the entire unit should still be stable and allow easy access to each unit. Taking apart the units should also be easy to accomplish.
One of the primary reasons you want stackable rabbit cages is to provide safe and secure housing for your rabbits without sacrificing the space that rabbits naturally need to thrive. If you’re a breeder, you’ll want to ensure that any cage you have will include adequate safeguards that ensure newborn bunnies don’t fall out. These normally consist of durable galvanized wire mesh with a small grid and doors that open from the front of the rabbit cage.
Since it is not advisable to disturb nesting expectant mothers, having built in urine guards on the sides of the cage that force droppings into a removable tray for that purpose will help in maintaining cleanliness without having to move the mommies in and out of the cage. Keeping the cage clean is critical to your rabbit’s health.
Door openings should be large enough to accommodate nest boxes for expectant mothers. Nesting boxes should be accessible by the bunny from within the cage and outfitted with straw or soft materials to provide a comfortable spot for her and the newborns when they arrive. Make sure the nesting box is covered to prevent cold drafts.
Stackable rabbit cages that can be moved around on casters are ideal for situations where outdoor space is available to be used provided, of course, that you have a hard surface readily adjacent to roll the rabbit cages on. Since most rabbits will be confined until they are transported to their new homes, some exposure to fresh air and sunshine can do a lot for the rabbits well-being and can help acclimate them to differing environments.
If you operate a pedigree rabbitry, it’s important that your rabbits enjoy a healthy environment so that they have a good start in life. Stackable rabbit cages can provide a good temporary shelter for your precious rabbits from birth until they arrive at their new owner’s home. It just makes sense to look for units that are made of high quality and durable materials in order to safeguard your investment into pedigreed stock.
