Why a Well-Equipped Rabbit Run Matters
Rabbits love to hop, run, and play. A good run gives them space to move and things to do, which keeps them happy and healthy. Our rabbit runs are made to be like a rabbit's natural home, so they can do all the things rabbits like to do, like digging and exploring.
Keeping Your Rabbits Safe
Safety is super important for outdoor rabbit runs. Our products are made to keep your pets safe from other animals and bad weather.
Strong Materials
Our Chartwell rabbit homes are built to last. We use strong wood that's safe for animals and won't rot in the rain. The wire mesh is tough and won't rust, so your rabbits can't chew through it.
Safe Roof and Floor
Our runs have good roofs to keep your rabbits safe from birds and stop them from jumping out. The floor is made so rabbits can't dig out, but it's still comfy for them. You can add soft bedding to make it even nicer.
Space to Play and Exercise
Rabbits need lots of space to move around and be happy. Our big runs give your bunnies room to run and play.
Big Runs for Lots of Movement
The 5ft Chartwell Rabbit Run gives your rabbits over 23 square feet to play in. It's tall enough for them to stand up and has two doors that open, making it easy for you to get in and out.
Toys and Things to Do
Add tunnels and hiding places to your rabbit's run. These make it more fun for them to explore. You can also put in wooden toys or cardboard tubes for them to chew on, which is good for their teeth.
Comfy Places to Rest
Even outside, rabbits need cosy spots to sleep and feel safe.
Cosy Shelters
Our Cosy Run Shelter with Removable Roof gives your rabbits a nice place to relax. You can take the roof off to clean it easily.
Soft Bedding
Use straw or hay to make a soft nest for your rabbits. This keeps them warm and lets them make a cosy bed like they would in nature.
Food and Water Accessories
Make sure your rabbits always have fresh food and water:
- Water bottles or heavy bowls that won't tip over
- Hay racks to keep hay clean and easy to reach
- Strong food bowls for pellets and veggies
Put these things in different places in the run to encourage your rabbits to move around.
Keeping the Run Clean
A clean run keeps your rabbits healthy and happy. Regular cleaning also lets you check if anything needs fixing.
Covers for Bad Weather
We have clear covers that keep rain out but let light in. They're easy to put on and take off, which makes cleaning simple.
Cleaning Tools
Get a small brush and dustpan for daily cleaning, and a bigger broom for weekly cleans. Use safe cleaning products to keep everything clean and healthy for your rabbits.
