Why keep small animals in a stable and/or outdoor enclosure?
Keeping small animals in a stable and/or outdoor enclosure offers numerous advantages. A hutch provides protection from the elements, predators and extreme situations such as heat or cold. An outdoor enclosure allows the animals to exercise, fresh air and natural light, which contributes significantly to their well-being and health. Both husbandry forms in combination provide a balanced environment in which the animals can live safely and species-appropriately.
What size should a hutch or outdoor enclosure be for small animals?
The size of a hutch or outdoor enclosure for small animals should be based on the type and number of animals. In general, at least 4 m² of space should be available per rabbit, and for guinea pigs about 0.5 m² per animal in the stable as well as additional open space in the enclosure. Larger areas promote the natural behavior and health of animals by providing them with enough space for exercise and social interactions.
Does a small animal hutch need to be winter-proof?
Yes, a small animal hutch should be winterproof. This means that the hutch must be well insulated and protected against cold, wind and moisture. Adequate insulation and protective measures such as weatherproof covers and additional bedding help protect the animals from hypothermia and associated health risks. A protected area in the stable where the animals can retreat is also essential.
How should a hutch or enclosure be set up?
Underwear: Retreats and caves where the animals can hide. Nesting material: Suitable bedding, such as straw or hay, for warmth and comfort. Playing options: Elements such as tunnels, ramps and platforms that promote movement and mental stimulation. Food and water dispenser: Easily accessible and hygienically placed bowls or drinkers. Spout: Enough clearance to run, dig and explore.
Note:
When buying a small animal hutch or enclosure, you should pay attention to several important aspects. First, the hutch must be large enough to give the animals enough space to move. The material should be strong, durable and non-toxic, ideally made of solid wood or high quality plastic. The hutch must be predator-proof, with sturdy doors and a firm, bite-resistant grille, and there must be no sharp edges. A good small animal hutch is insulated, weatherproof and well ventilated to protect the animals from extreme temperatures and mould formation. Cleaning should be easy, preferably with removable parts and a water resistant base. In addition, the hutch should offer enough space for hatches, toys as well as food and water dispensers and ideally have an integrated freewheel or the possibility to connect an outdoor enclosure.
