A bunny should not be left in a cage full time, and needs time daily to free-roam. However, Guinea Pigs & Rabbits Australia's Ozzy Cages give bunnies a secure and spacious area to rest, retreat and recharge.
Our tips for happy bunnies:
- Using our Rabbit Ozzy Cages allows room for full stretches, upright stands, and a litter zone
- Offer daily supervised free-roam time in bunny-proofed rooms
- A 2x4 Ozzy Rabbit cage is a recommended minimum size.
Guinea Pigs & Rabbits Australia's modular C&C cages make transitioning to free-roaming time simple - and food messes contained!
Rabbits bond best on their terms, and Guinea Pigs & Rabbits Australia's range of toys and treats help build that trust gently.
Focus on:

With gentle, daily interaction, fun toys and tasty treats, you – your bunny will be flopping beside you as their confidence grows!
Guinea Pigs & Rabbits Australia's range of cages, toys and care essentials make those first days stress-free and comforting for your new rabbit.
Settling-in steps:
- Place your rabbit's new enclosure in a quiet spot away from loud TVs or speakers.
