Personally I think that cage is too small for rabbits.
The general rule of thumb here in the UK is a cage about 2x6 feet (12 sq feet) for two small or medium rabbits. Although - the new RSPCA recommendations (given in metric) actually work out much larger.
A 2x4 c+c is only 10.8 sq feet, so below the minimum.
Don't get me wrong - I don't think its dreadful... but I would go bigger.
My last rabbit was in a homemade pen (alone) about 9 sq feet and this was too small. My current two pigs are in a 2x5 c+c (13.6 sq feet) and I still don't feel this is as big as I would like for them - let alone a pair of rabbits.
For a pair of rabbits I would go for a 2x6 c+c. Obviously it needs to be at least 2 grids tall so they can stand up fully. Rabbits also love upper levels as they like to have a look out area. |
