Collection: Hutches, Coops and Cages

These enclosures are designed to house birds, rabbits, and other small pets, providing shelter, protection, and a contained living space.

A hutch is typically for rabbits or small pets and often features a raised design with a sheltered sleeping area and, sometimes, a run.

A coop is designed for poultry (like chickens or ducks), providing a space for them to sleep, lay eggs, and move around.

A cage is a more general term for any enclosed space used for small animals or birds, often with wire mesh for ventilation.

The cage or coop should be large enough for the animal to move comfortably, spread wings, and perform natural behaviours. Overcrowding should be avoided for their health and comfort.

Weather-resistant materials such as treated wood, galvanised metal, or sturdy wire mesh are ideal for outdoor use. These materials can withstand the elements and provide durability.

Raising the coop or hutch off the ground helps prevent dampness, improves hygiene, and protects against ground predators or pests. It’s essential for outdoor hutches or cages.

Make sure the coop has secure latches, sturdy mesh or wire that prevents escape, and predator-proof construction, especially if used outdoors. The cage should also have smooth edges to avoid injury.

Proper ventilation is essential to prevent the buildup of moisture, ammonia, and heat. Good airflow helps maintain a healthier environment for the animals.

Choose a coop or cage that has easy-to-remove trays or floors for cleaning droppings and waste. Regular cleaning helps prevent illness and maintains hygiene.

Yes, but you need to make sure the space is large enough to accommodate the number and size of animals without overcrowding, which can cause stress and health issues.

Place it in a well-ventilated area that is sheltered from harsh weather conditions but still allows for sunlight. Avoid placing it too close to fences or predators, and ensure it’s easily accessible for feeding and cleaning.

Yes, but outdoor coops need to be built with weatherproof materials to withstand the elements, while indoor cages need to provide enough space and ventilation for the animals.

Regular cleaning is necessary to ensure the animals’ health. The floor or tray should be cleaned at least once a week, and the entire cage or coop should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected periodically.

A proper coop or cage ensures the animals' safety, comfort, and security. It helps with hygiene, provides better protection against predators, and offers a more controlled environment for the animals.
