Rabbits: buying guides and gear

Rabbits are active crepuscular animals and strict herbivores: the typical shop cage is almost always too small, and hay — not pellets — should make up most of the diet. Our guides equip you for modern rabbit keeping: pens, free-roaming, quality hay and safe chew toys.

💶 Typical budget: €25–50 per month, hay and litter included.

🛡️ Health budget: our guide to small pet insurance in france: prices, refunds, how to choose.
