AIR15: 9.6 ft² Outdoor Rabbit Hutch with Wire Bottom and Dual Pull-Out Trays
The Aivituvin AIR15 takes a different approach to hygiene from most hutches — instead of a solid floor, it uses a wire mesh bottom that lets waste fall directly through to two deep pull-out trays below. This means less contact between your rabbits and their waste, better air circulation, and one of the easiest cleaning routines of any hutch in this size range. At 9.6 ft² across multiple levels, it comfortably houses 3–4 rabbits while its wheeled base and waterproof roof keep everyday care practical.
Key Features
- Wire Mesh Floor: Allows waste to fall through rather than accumulating in bedding, reducing ammonia build-up and keeping your rabbits’ paws clean and dry.
- 2 Deep Pull-Out Trays: Two generously sized leakproof trays sit beneath the wire floor to catch all waste — slide out, empty, rinse, and return in under 2 minutes.
- 9.6 ft² Multi-Level Layout: Upper and lower compartments with connecting ramps give rabbits room to explore and retreat, meeting welfare guidelines for pairs of medium breeds.
- 4 Lockable Wheels: Roll the hutch to the sunniest spot in the morning and back to shelter at night; lock in place when positioned.
- Multiple Access Doors: Front and side openings at different heights let you reach any area of the hutch for feeding, health checks, or retrieval without disturbing the whole habitat.
- Waterproof Asphalt Roof: The sloped, weather-treated roof channels rainfall away and protects the living area from damp — suitable for permanent outdoor placement.
Space Guide: How Many Rabbits Fit in the AIR15?
The AIR15’s 9.6 ft² footprint spans multiple levels, giving an effective movement area that suits 2–3 medium-sized rabbits (Dutch, Rex, or Polish breeds). The RWAF recommends at least 3 m² (32 ft²) of total space for a bonded pair, so pairing this hutch with a run is strongly recommended for full-time housing. As a sleeping and feeding station within a larger run setup, the AIR15 works well for up to 4 small rabbits. Large breeds such as Flemish Giants or Continental Giants will feel cramped and need a larger option like the AIR28 or AIR23.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The wire-bottom and dual-tray system is designed for daily spot cleaning with minimal effort. Each morning, slide out both trays, discard soiled material, and slide them back — the whole routine takes under 2 minutes. Once a week, remove the trays fully and rinse with a hose or pet-safe disinfectant spray. The wire mesh floor can be brushed free of any debris that doesn’t fall through on its own. Every month, wipe down the internal ramps and wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant to prevent bacterial build-up in corners and joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a wire floor comfortable for rabbits?
Wire floors are suitable for short periods, but rabbits benefit from a solid resting area. Place a wooden board or hay mat on part of the wire floor so your rabbits can choose to stand on a solid surface when they want to rest their feet. This balances the hygiene benefits of wire flooring with rabbit comfort.
How does the AIR15 compare to the AIR04-B?
Both are 9.6 ft², but the AIR15 uses a wire mesh floor for enhanced hygiene while the AIR04-B features a solid wood floor with a run attached, making it better for rabbits that prefer solid footing. Choose the AIR15 if easy cleaning is your priority, and the AIR04-B if you want a combined hutch-and-run in one unit.
Can this hutch stay outside in winter?
Yes, with the right preparation. The waterproof roof handles rain well, and the enclosed upper compartment retains body heat. In freezing conditions, add extra hay for insulation and use a hutch cover for the front panels. The wheels allow you to move it to a sheltered wall or porch during the coldest months.
Do the wheels lock securely?
Yes — each wheel has an individual brake that locks it in place. Always engage all four brakes when the hutch is positioned, especially on uneven ground or if you have a dog or other pet that might bump into it.
