In the early days of building rabbit cages, red bricks or cement were used, but now they are welded with steel wire and iron wire, and they can be assembled directly when they come back.
Rabbit cages need to be suitable for the requirements of breeding, farrowing, and lactation of rabbits. One cage is implemented for one rabbit, which can be in the form of multi-layer multi-connected rabbit cages. The size of a single cage for raising long-haired rabbits and rex rabbits is smaller than that of breeding rabbits, and the width, depth and height of the cage are recommended to be 60 cm x 55 cm x 35 cm. Rabbit supplementary feeding cages are made of materials with good thermal insulation such as wood, synthetic fiber board or fire brick, and require good airtightness. One cage and one litter of rabbits are raised, and single-layer multi-connection can be selected. The specifications and dimensions are: 45cm wide, 60cm long and 30cm high.
Generally based on the principle that domestic rabbits can move freely in the cage, they can be divided into breeding rabbit cages, commercial rabbit cages and baby rabbit cages according to their uses. Generally, the standard cage length is twice the body length of the adult rabbit, the cage width is 1.3 times the body length, and the cage height is 1.2 times the body length. The specific size also varies according to different breeds, ages and genders. Generally, the rabbit cages for large breeds and male rabbits should be enlarged as appropriate, with a cage width of 65-70 cm, a depth of 55 cm and a height of 45 cm.

The cage door should generally be installed in front of the cage, and the height should be flush with the cage. It can be made of bamboo chips, perforated iron, thick iron wire or galvanized mesh. If a wooden frame is used to embed iron wires, the interval should be 2 cm; if a wire mesh or galvanized mesh is used, the diameter of the mesh is 1 to 1.5 cm for ventilation, light transmission and prevention of animal damage. The door can be double-opened or single-opened. If it is single-opened, it should be opened to the right for easy operation.
The bottom of the cage should be nailed with bamboo pieces. The bamboo pieces should be smooth. The width of each bamboo piece is 2.0 to 2.5 cm, and the spacing between the bamboo pieces is 1.0 to 1.2 cm, which is convenient for the leakage of rabbit feces and is also conducive to the Cleaning and Disinfection. Therefore, the cage bottom plate should be movable and can be installed and removed at any time. If it is made of metal material, in order to facilitate the rabbit to walk, the mesh should not be too large, but also to allow the rabbit feces to fall, generally 1.2 ~ 1.5 cm square is appropriate. The bearing board is generally made of cement board, and in the multi-layer rabbit cage, it is the cage roof of the lower rabbit cage. The front should protrude 3 cm outside the cage, and the back should protrude 5-10 cm. It should be inclined to the rear wall of the cage, and the inclination angle should be 12-15 degrees, so that the feces and urine can flow directly into the manure ditch through the board surface, which is convenient for cleaning. The cage wall and the inner wall of the rabbit cage need to be smooth to prevent the rabbit hair from being pulled off and facilitate descaling and disinfection.
