AIR71: Foldable Rabbit Playpen with Waterproof PVC Floor
Most rabbit playpens are bare wire enclosures that do nothing to contain mess — urine soaks into carpets, rabbits dig through gaps, and the pen provides no real boundary for free-roam time. The Aivituvin AIR71 solves all three problems. Its built-in waterproof PVC floor liner catches urine and loose bedding before it reaches your flooring, the solid panel walls deter determined diggers, and the whole unit folds flat in seconds for storage between sessions. Use it as a standalone exercise pen or connect it directly to compatible Aivituvin hutches to create an extended living system without a permanent room conversion.
Key Features
- Integrated waterproof PVC floor: A sewn-in liner covers the entire base, protecting hardwood, carpet, and laminate from urine and scattered bedding — the feature that separates the AIR71 from bare wire exercise pens.
- Hutch-connectable design: Attaches directly to compatible Aivituvin hutch models (including the AIR12 and AIR13-B) so rabbits can move freely between their sleeping quarters and exercise space.
- Folds flat for storage: Collapses in under a minute for apartment-friendly storage when not in use — no disassembly, no loose parts.
- Solid panel walls: Panels are tall enough to contain most rabbit breeds during supervised free-roam without the risk of escapes or jumps.
- Lightweight and portable: Carry it between rooms, take it to a garden, or set it up in a friend’s home — the AIR71 goes where your rabbit goes.
- Multiple door openings: Access flaps on the panels let you reach in for handling or place food and water without fully dismantling the pen.
Space Guide: How Much Room Does the AIR71 Provide?
The AIR71 significantly expands on the minimum space most hutches offer and works toward the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF) recommended 3 m × 2 m living area when combined with a compatible hutch. As a standalone unit, it provides ample space for a single small-to-medium breed (Netherland Dwarf, Mini Lop, Dutch) to binky, explore, and forage during daily exercise sessions. For pairs, the AIR71 is best used as a supplement to a larger hutch-and-run system rather than a sole living space. Combined with the AIR12 or AIR13-B hutch, the connected system meets welfare guidelines for a single rabbit with generous room to spare.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The PVC floor liner is the AIR71’s most maintenance-intensive component — and also its most practical. After each session, roll the liner toward the centre to collect scattered hay and droppings, tip into a bin, then wipe the liner surface with a damp cloth and rabbit-safe disinfectant. For weekly deep cleans, detach the liner fully (most models allow this), rinse under a shower or outdoor tap, and air dry before the next use. The solid panels wipe clean with a damp cloth; inspect connector points monthly if you’re using the hutch-attachment feature to ensure a secure, gap-free join.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Aivituvin hutches does the AIR71 connect to?
The AIR71 is compatible with the AIR12 and AIR13-B, among other Aivituvin models. Check the product listing for the full compatibility list.
Can I use the AIR71 outdoors?
Yes — the PVC floor makes outdoor use practical by keeping rabbits off wet grass or cold patios. Avoid use in strong wind or direct heavy rain; the panels are not anchored to the ground.
Will the playpen contain a rabbit that likes to jump?
The AIR71 is designed for supervised free-roam sessions. Very athletic breeds (e.g., Belgian Hares, large Continental Giants) may clear the walls. For high jumpers, supervision is recommended.
How quickly does it fold away?
Under a minute with practice. The panels hinge together and the floor liner folds inward — the whole unit stores flat against a wall or under a bed.
Is the PVC floor liner removable for washing?
Yes — the liner detaches for thorough cleaning. Rinse with water and a pet-safe disinfectant, then air dry completely before the next use to prevent mould build-up.
