The rabbit's cage should be placed on a flat stable surface and should be near a fresh ventilated area like near a window.What are the minimum housing requirements for a rabbit???
Rabbits under 6 lbs can be in an 18x24 or 24x24





6-11lbs 24x30 or 24x36





over 12 lbs 24x36 or 24x48 w/ solid floors to prevent sore hock








put a mat in a wire cage so the rabbit doesnt get sores on their hocks. I would reccomend a wire cage with a sliding tray. Don't use cedar shaving (kitty litter, pine shavings, etc is ok)
firstly dont get 1 rabbit because it will be bored and lonely, and they live longer in bonded pairs (spayed female and neutered male). The rspca say a minimum of 6ft by 2ft floor space, beause rabbits like to hop about and stretch their legs.
Lexichloe's answer is correct... those are the minimum size requirements. However, some rabbits like to hop and climb and play a lot. My bunny seems to be cramped and I'm getting her a bigger cage.
