I know that many of you who visit Bunny Hutch HQ have small or dwarf bunnies for pets. They’re tiny, they’re adorable, and they typically live indoors. If you’re one of those people, then you’re in luck. Today’s review shows the perfect indoor bunny cage for a small or dwarf bunny. It’s the Iris RP-750 Bunny Cage.
Before I get into the details of the Iris RP-750 Bunny Cage, I just want to point out that I do categorize my reviews for you. Just follow these links if you’re looking for bunny hutches or indoor bunny cages. If you have a medium to large bunny, please start with one of those links. I can tell you that the Iris will be too small for your rabbit friend. If you do have a small or dwarf breed, you’ll find a great cage just below.
OK, that’s enough blathering on. Let’s check this one out.
Specs & Features of the Iris Bunny Cage
The coolest thing about the Iris RP-750 (sounds like a computer model, doesn’t it?) is that it has three levels. There’s the top level for food, water, and playing. There’s a litter box drop through level. Finally, there’s a sleeping/hiding area underneath (think of a boat chamber).

If your rabbits live in bunny hutches or bunny cages outdoors, summer can be a difficult time for them. In fact, it can be deadly if you don’t take extra precautions to care for them. Spend a few minutes with me here at Bunny Hutch HQ to consider how you can care for your rabbit in the summer.
Why Summer is Difficult for Rabbits
We humans are able to withstand the heat better than many animals, including rabbits, for one primary reason – we sweat. Our bodies have the ability to release heat through the skin as a cooling system. Rabbits don’t have this ability. Compound this with a fur coat and you have a very, very hot bunny.
If it’s a wild hare/rabbit, they’ll try to compensate for this by burrowing into the earth. They get out of the sun and into the cooler ground. If you’ve seen a rabbit burrow, you know they can get very deep and this gets them much cooler. For those in a bunny hutch or rabbit cage, they don’t have this option. So, let’s consider how to make their summer a happier time.

In Part 1 of the Bunny Hutch HQ Rabbit for Pet series, I addressed some of the misperceptions of owning a pet rabbit. This included such things as “rabbits are cuddly” and “rabbits live short lives,” among others. This Rabbit for Pet series of articles is intended to give someone considering a pet rabbit a few things to think about before making the long-term commitment to these wonderful animals. I believe it’s important for people to know that having a pet rabbit is not as simple as buying them, putting them in bunny hutches or indoor bunny cages, and petting them a couple of times a week. This particular installment of “Rabbit for Pet” is to give you more of the details on what you’ll need to do to be a good and responsible owner of your new pet rabbit.
What is the Maintenance Involved in Having a Pet Rabbit?
Having a pet rabbit is like having most any other pet. They do have different personalities from cats, dogs, or birds but they still require similar maintenance.

Ladies and Gentlemen...Welcome Little Rabbit Houdini!
I have a quick tip for those of you with bunny cages. While at first read, you might think this is only for people with outdoor bunny cages, that’s not the case. Those of you with indoor bunny cages can benefit as well.
While bunny cages can be great houses for your bunny, you’ll be surprised to learn that many rabbits are little Houdinis. Despite you giving them plenty of play time in a rabbit play area and in your house, they’ll still try their best to escape and run freely. In fact, I’ve found that those who get the most time out of the rabbit cage are the same ones most eager to frolic in the carpet or grass when no one else is around.
As I said before, if you keep your rabbit indoors, don’t think you’re immune to this problem. While your bunny friend may not be lost, he might eat the leg of your sofa or your carpet while he has some unattended play time. That’s bad my friend. Bad.
