This is currently being advertised as a “large indoor rabbit cage.” on Facebook market place.
And while it may seem suitable at first glance, it doesn’t fully meet a rabbit’s needs, infact it is cruel!

📢 “Extra large”
📢 “Plenty of room”
📢 “Perfect for rabbits”
➡️ These phrases can make it seem like this is enough
➡️ But rabbits actually need much more space than most people realise
🐰 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐄
✔️ A minimum space of around 3m x 3m
✔️ Ideally indoor living where they’re safe and part of the home
✔️ Or a secure outdoor enclosure protected from predators
(🐱 cats, 🦉 owls, and others)
✔️ Space to run, hop, stretch, and stand fully upright
💡 Rabbits are active animals, they’re not designed to live in cages.
🐰 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃
✔️ Soft, safe flooring (no wire floors)
✔️ Enrichment, toys, and interaction
✔️ Daily movement and mental stimulation
✔️ The freedom to express natural behaviours

Limited space doesn’t just restrict movement,
it can impact a rabbit’s physical health, mental wellbeing, and overall quality of life.

📱 A quick search can show proper rabbit care
📱 There are so many great resources available
📱 Rescue organisations share amazing guidance
There is no reason animals should be living in these confined prison cages.
We have access to the internet and other good sources of information, we really should be better!

Often kept in spaces that are too small, simply because that’s what’s commonly sold.
