How to Clean a Rabbit Cage

When getting a rabbit it is important to understand the responsibility that comes with it.

Knowing how to clean a rabbit cage properly is essential for maintaining your fluffy friend's health.

While rabbits are adorable little balls of fluff, they love leaving stinky messes in their cage for us to clean up.

Their enclosures can get incredibly dirty very quickly.


That's why it's important to stick to both a daily and weekly cleaning routine to ensure your rabbit has a clean and comfortable living space. Important Guideline for Cleaning Rabbit Cage - Pet World Expert

  • Leave just one corner untouched (rabbits like to mark their scent and get stressed when they feel like they are entering a new habitat).

  • Check every morning and evening to make sure that there is food and water in their bowl.

Daily Cleaning Rabbit Cage Routine

1. Set up a temporary safety pin that you can place your rabbit into when you are doing your cleaning.
2. Using gloves, remove all old litter and replace it with fresh litter.
3. Take out any fresh food that has not been eaten.
