XL Metal Rabbit Nest Box with Removable Floor – For Large to Giant Breeds
20" x 14" x 12"
Can this nest box be used outdoors? Yes, the galvanized metal is weather-resistant. However, we do not recommend leaving rabbits (or the nest box) exposed to the weather.
Is the floor secure? The removable floor fits snugly into the nest box, yet is easily removed for cleaning.
What size rabbits does this accommodate? Suitable for most large to extra large breeds, such as New Zealand, Californian, Silver Fox, American Chinchilla, Satin, Standard Rex, and Harlequin rabbits (may not be suitable for giant breeds like Flemish Giant).
How do I clean the nest box? The removable floor panel makes cleaning simple. Remove the floor, rinse it with warm water, and allow it to dry completely before reassembling. Clean with mild soap, if needed.
What is the material, and is it durable? The nest box is made of high-quality galvanized metal, which is rust- and corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-lasting durability even in outdoor conditions.
Can this nest box be used for animals other than rabbits? Yes! While designed specifically for rabbits, the 20” x 14” x 12” galvanized metal nest box can also be used for other similarly sized small animals. It works well for chickens, ducks, and some larger game birds as a nesting or shelter box. Some owners also use it for ferrets or guinea pigs in barn or outdoor setups.
However, this box may be too large for smaller animals like quail, pigeons, or hedgehogs, which typically require more compact and enclosed nesting spaces.
Its durable metal construction and easy-to-clean removable floor make it a great choice for homesteaders looking for a versatile and long-lasting small animal nesting solution.
What are nest boxes used for? Nest boxes provide a safe, clean, and secure space for female rabbits to give birth and care for their kits. They protect the newborns, keep the bedding clean, and allow for easy observation without disturbing the mother. Nest boxes are essential for breeding rabbits to ensure the health and safety of both the doe and her young.
