  • 💡 Proper care and daily exercise for the rabbit are essential. If you squeeze the bars very tightly they will bend, but I've also lifted the cage by holding the bars to clean beneath it (while the buns weren't in it) and nothing happened.

"This was my first order with Chewy. This is a 2nd rabbit cage we needed for a second location for our rabbit. Very happy with our shopping experience and will definitely be purchasing in the future."

"way way way too small for anything! rabbits need 15 square feet MINIMUM"

Bottom Line

The Kaytee Rabbit Home is suitable for temporary or supplemental use, especially if you ensure your rabbit gets adequate exercise and care outside the cage. However, for long-term housing, consider a larger enclosure to meet the rabbit's needs properly. The durability is good, but the size is the main limitation, making it particularly poor for larger breeds or multiple rabbits.
