Ive got some unfortunate news for you- foxes are very agile- and they can jump!


We used to have one visit our garden and sit on the guinea pig cage- the guinea pig had no idea the fox was a danger and used to sit underneath the fox, looking up at him and wheeking to him.


Steer clear of those flimsy cages that you can get from the pet stores...


The ones that look like this, or similar to this:

They will not last the life of your rabbit, they are not large enough, to wood rots, etc, etc- and eventually pieces will fall off and a fox might be able to get in.


I have found some really good, sturdy off the ground hutches- I have found them in larger chain pet stores- they will set you back around $200 but it is well worth it because they are quality!


Much thicker wood, so it wont rot and fall apart, for starters- and they are twice the size of the others.


Alternatively, you might want to consider either making one yourself, or getting a friend to make one for you to cut down on expenses.


A fox wont be able to get in if the cage is secure, and if you cover your rabbit up at night- he shouldnt even know that there is a fox around!How much would a rabbit hutch be high up and cosy?
I suggest convincing your mom to keep it inside since there are foxes. If you keep it in one room and clean it regularly, it won't smell. Also, you could bunny-proof the room.





I personally like this hutch (but you have to buy the run separately): http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.js鈥?/a>
