Aivituvin AIR18: 2-Story Rabbit Hutch with Dual Trays and UV-Proof Roof (14.1 ft²)
The Aivituvin AIR18 is a two-level rabbit hutch that makes efficient use of vertical space without sacrificing square footage. With 14.1 ft² of total living area spread across two connected levels, built-in anti-slip ramps, and dual deep pull-out trays, the AIR18 is designed for rabbit owners who want a clean, organised, easy-to-maintain setup — whether placed indoors or outdoors.
Key Features
- Two connected levels with anti-slip ramps: Rabbits naturally explore vertical spaces. The upper level provides a quiet retreat or sleeping area, while the lower level gives room to stretch, eat, and move. Anti-slip ramps make it easy for rabbits of all ages to move between floors safely.
- 14.1 ft² total floor space: One of the more spacious 2-story designs available, comfortably accommodating 2–3 medium-sized rabbits.
- Dual deep pull-out trays: Each level has its own removable tray — a standout feature that lets you clean each floor independently without disturbing your rabbits or disassembling the hutch.
- UV-proof roof: Protects rabbits from sun damage and heat buildup during summer months, making outdoor placement safer year-round.
- Four casters with two locks: Roll the hutch wherever you need it, then lock two wheels to hold it in place. Particularly useful for cleaning underneath the hutch or moving it between indoor and outdoor locations.
- Multiple access doors: Separate door panels on both levels, plus a full-front opening option, give easy access for feeding, handling, and health checks at any time.
Space Guide: Is the AIR18 Right for Your Rabbits?
The AIR18 is a great fit for 2–3 small to medium rabbits (under 4 kg each) such as Netherland Dwarfs, Holland Lops, or Mini Rex. The two-level design roughly doubles the usable floorspace of a single-storey hutch with the same footprint, making it one of the better space-efficient options for apartments, garages, or small backyards. Note: very large breeds like Flemish Giants or Continental Giants are not well-suited to multi-level hutches, as ramps can place strain on their joints over time.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The dual pull-out trays are the real highlight for daily care. Slide both trays out, empty them, give each a quick wipe, and slide them back in — the whole process takes under five minutes. Do a full deep-clean of the hutch once weekly, removing damp bedding from the corners and wiping the interior walls with a pet-safe disinfectant solution. The casters make it easy to move the hutch away from the wall to clean underneath.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the two levels be separated?
The AIR18’s levels share the same frame and are not designed to be fully separated. However, the ramps can be removed to restrict your rabbits’ access between floors — useful during bonding introductions or if a rabbit needs ground-level rest following a health issue.
Is the UV-proof roof also waterproof?
Yes. The roof is designed to shed rain as well as block UV radiation. For very heavy rainfall or extended outdoor exposure in wet climates, position the hutch with the roof slope facing the direction of prevailing wind and rain.
Do rabbits actually use the upper level?
Most rabbits explore and use both levels, especially when you place food on the lower level and cozy bedding on the upper level. Younger, active rabbits tend to use ramps freely. Older or arthritic rabbits may prefer a single-level hutch for easier movement.
How does the AIR18 compare to the AIR06-C?
Both are 2-story designs, but the AIR18 offers a larger footprint at 14.1 ft² compared to the AIR06-C’s 8.32 ft². Choose the AIR18 if you have 2–3 rabbits and want more space; the AIR06-C suits a pair of smaller rabbits with a tighter budget or floor plan.
