The rabbit is one of the most popular animals that find shelter in a person's home. Before taming a pet, you need to study in detail its habits and conditions of detention. In the village courtyard, spacious enclosures are arranged for these animals. A citizen can buy everything he needs at a pet store or make a house for a rabbit with his own hands.

- Grid
- Saw
- Nails

- Fittings (hinges, handle)

Instructions
Step 1
Make plywood blanks for the side walls of the rabbit house, depending on the size of the pet. You should have squares of at least 70 x 70 cm. The back wall will be at least a meter in length; in height, it should be 15 centimeters below the sides. This is necessary in order to place a pallet under the cage. The house will stand on "legs" - side walls.
Step 2
Hammer up the rabbit house using slats for stability. Reinforce three walls; and for façade and decking, use a sturdy mesh with small holes. Fix the mesh rectangles with meter strips; moreover, nail the plank along the upper edge taking into account the future door cover.
Step 3
Make a rabbit house roof with mesh and slats and hang it on the back wall using two metal hinges. Install a convenient handle in the middle of the front edge of the lid - this way you can easily open and close the rabbit house, clean it and put food.
Step 4
Equip your rabbit cage with everything you need:
• Place a plastic pallet of a suitable size under the bottom net.
• Cover the mesh floor of the box with oat straw (or several layers of newspaper and coarse wood chips) at least 2 cm thick.
• Place a heavy ceramic food bowl so that the animal cannot tip over it easily.
• Attach a pet-friendly drip tray to the rabbit cage.
• Place a clean block of hard fruit wood in the rabbit house for your pet to sharpen its teeth.
