Rabbits shouldn’t be confined to a cage. (Especially a dog cage..?) Rabbits are curious creatures that need to jump, run, chew and play to be healthy. Keeping them locked in a cage 24/7 as a toy for your kids will make them sick or develop aggression from stress. Healthy rabbit lifespans are 6-10 years, probably even more on very good health and genetics. Rabbit cages should only be a place for your rabbit to use the litterbox and sleep after a long day of exercise and play. Also, rabbits greatly benefit in pairs, but never keep two rabbits together unless they are fixed. Rabbits are territorial and they will either fight to the death or mate rapidly when intact. Up to 14 babies every month. Spaying and Neutering a rabbit also eliminates hormonal behavior like aggression and marking territory and almost all cancers. My sister lost her rabbit to testicular cancer because we never knew rabbits could be fixed. This is the proper set up for a rabbit.
I’m cringing at that rainbow “my mommy got me a cute hamster” rodent cage. These are small creatures that need to run around and explore.They need to burrow and chew, they need dust baths and enough space to tunnel. These animals are solitary and stress out if kept together. This is the proper set up for a hamster or other small rodent.
The “Kritter Keeper” tubis great for traveling, but should never be used as a confinement for a small pet. I can only imagine how stressed a rat or hamster would be in such a small carrier.
