FAQs
What are the overall dimensions of the Ferplast Cottage Rabbit Cage?
The overall dimensions are 107.5 cm (length) x 61.5 cm (width) x 102 cm (height).
Is this cage suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cage is designed as an indoor rabbit hutch. While the wood is treated, it is not intended to withstand prolonged exposure to outdoor weather conditions.
What kind of wood is used in the construction?
The cage is constructed from FSC-certified wood, indicating it comes from responsibly managed forests. The wood is also treated with non-toxic, anti-mold paints.
Can I remove the nest-house?
The nest-house features a removable roof for easy access and cleaning, but the main structure of the nest-house itself is an integrated part of the upper level of the cage.
Are replacement parts available for the trays or accessories?
Info needed: Please check with Ferplast's customer service or your retailer for the availability of replacement parts such as trays, ladders, or accessories.
How do I ensure the cage is properly ventilated?
The metallic wire mesh provides natural ventilation. Additionally, ensure the cage is placed in a well-ventilated room, avoiding enclosed spaces or direct drafts from open windows/vents.
Troubleshooting
My rabbit isn't using the upper level.
Try placing treats or their favorite toys on the upper level to encourage exploration. Ensure the wooden ladder is stable and securely attached, as some rabbits may be hesitant if it feels wobbly.
There's an odor despite daily spot cleaning.
Increase the frequency of full cage cleaning, ensuring both removable trays are thoroughly washed. Consider using a more absorbent bedding material. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room where the cage is located.
The ground floor door doesn't close securely.
Check the latch mechanism for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure the door frame is not warped and that all assembly screws are tightened correctly. If parts are damaged, contact customer support for replacements.
