cleaning a rabbit hutch

You can search the Internet for guidance on how often you should clean your rabbit hutch and what kind of cleaning supplies you’ll need. You’ll find lots of advice, some of it hard to believe, and some of it seemingly contradictory. Some will say clean the hutch every two days while most agree that once a week is sufficient for basic cleaning. Here’s the top tip you need to know, with apologies to the Nike Corporation: Just Do It!!!

No one knows for sure, but it’s highly likely that indoor rabbit cages are cleaned much more frequently than their outdoor cousins, the rabbit hutch. The reason should be obvious: the owners can smell the cage! It’s easy to forget about your outdoor rabbit’s need for clean living quarters, especially if your rabbit is outside twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, with minimal human contact. You know what they say: “Out of sight, out of mind.” The tip then is simple: force yourself to “just do it” by scheduling a cleaning time once a week; the same time every week. If it’s Saturday morning, it’s time to clean the rabbit hutch.
