Aivituvin AIR28: Large Outdoor Rabbit Hutch with Extra-Large Run (17.46 ft²)
If you have two or more rabbits and want to give them room to truly roam, the Aivituvin AIR28 is one of the most spacious outdoor rabbit hutches available. With a combined 17.46 square feet of living space split across a sheltered hutch and an expansive wire-enclosed run, this hutch gives your rabbits room to hop, stretch, and explore — all within a secure, predator-resistant enclosure.
Key Features
- Generous 17.46 ft² floor space: More room than most comparable hutches, comfortable for 3–4 adult rabbits or a mix of guinea pigs, chickens, or ducks.
- Waterproof PVC floor layer: Protects the wooden base from urine and moisture, extending the lifespan of the hutch and making cleanup significantly easier.
- Reinforced roof hinges and sturdy spring latches: Designed to resist persistent predators — a critical feature for any outdoor housing used overnight or unsupervised.
- Multiple access points: Large doors on both the hutch and run let you reach every corner for feeding, spot-cleaning, and handling your rabbits without stress.
- Extra-large enclosed run: Gives rabbits the exercise they need without free-roaming risks. The wire mesh sides allow good airflow while keeping your pets safely contained.
- Suitable for multiple species: Works equally well for guinea pigs, chickens, and ducks — ideal for small hobby farms or multi-pet households.
Space Guide: Is the AIR28 Big Enough?
The House Rabbit Society recommends a minimum of 8 square feet of living space per rabbit, with access to a larger exercise area. The AIR28’s 17.46 ft² easily meets this standard for 2–3 medium-sized rabbits such as Mini Lops, Netherland Dwarfs, or Holland Lops. For larger breeds like New Zealand Whites or Flemish Giants, we recommend this hutch as housing for 1–2 animals, complemented with daily free-roam time indoors or in a separate exercise pen.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The PVC floor layer in the main hutch compartment catches waste before it reaches the wood, so daily spot-cleaning takes less than five minutes. The pull-out tray design means you don’t need to reach inside or disturb your rabbits during cleaning — just slide the tray out, empty it, wipe it down, and slide it back. A deeper clean of the full hutch once per week is all that’s needed to keep it hygienic and odour-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the AIR28 be used indoors?
Yes, though its large footprint means it’s best suited to a garage, utility room, or barn rather than a standard living room. It’s primarily designed for outdoor use.
Is the wood treated to resist weathering?
The AIR28 is built from fir wood with a weatherproof finish. For maximum longevity outdoors, we recommend applying a pet-safe wood sealant to the exterior once a year, especially in high-rainfall climates.
How long does assembly take?
Most customers report assembly taking 45–90 minutes with two people. Pre-drilled holes and numbered components make the process straightforward.
What bedding works best in this hutch?
Paper-based bedding or a thick layer of hay works well in both compartments. Avoid cedar shavings, which can irritate rabbits’ respiratory systems. Change bedding every 2–3 days for optimal hygiene.
What’s the difference between the AIR28 and the AIR23?
The AIR28 is larger (17.46 ft² vs 15 ft²) and adds a PVC floor layer for extra moisture protection. If you have three or more rabbits or need the most spacious outdoor option available, the AIR28 is the better choice.
