Long gone are the Victorian times where hutches were used for fattening up rabbits in the kitchen for the banquet. Now we understand and appreciate the need for giving our rabbits space to display natural behaviours and prevent frustration, boredom and aggression.
Rabbits will cover a vast amount of space through the evening to the mid morning and enjoy being able to binky and do zoomies while we are tucked up asleep in bed. That is why having access to lots of space 24/7 is crucial as rabbits do not have sleep patterns similar to ours.
Rabbits divide their territory into 2 parts; hub space and shared community space. The desire of a rabbit is to have enough territory that they can create safe areas, shared community space for exercise and areas to use for toileting

How can you create a nice habitat for your rabbits?
First decide whether you are housing your rabbits indoors or outdoors. In the UK, both are perfectly acceptable for rabbits to live, since our climate allows for rabbits to live outdoors all year round and we do not have predators such as bears or coyotes.
