This hutch is an ideal starter for introducing children to keeping small animals. It is crucial to provide pets with ample space, as a hutch serves as a bedroom, not a complete living space. Protection from wind and rain is important, as hutches alone cannot shield pets from all weather conditions.

Re-treatment with an animal-safe, water-based, VOC-free treatment is recommended once or twice a year between seasons to prevent bacterial growth.
