How to Clean a Rabbit Cage (Step by Step)
Spot-clean soiled bedding daily, and deep-clean the whole cage weekly with warm water and a pet-safe cleaner. Rabbits are sensitive, so avoid strong chemicals.
Daily vs. weekly
- Daily: remove wet bedding, uneaten fresh food, and wipe the toilet corner.
- Weekly: empty everything, wash the tray, replace bedding, and scrub surfaces.
Cleaning steps
- Move your rabbit to a safe pen first.
- Use warm water and a mild, pet-safe cleaner — rinse and dry fully.
- Refresh bedding and hay, and see our rabbit hutches & habitats for easy-clean options.
