When choosing a hideout for a Rex rabbit, the most important consideration is the entrance size and interior space. Rex rabbits have a compact, muscular body with a broad head and shorter legs, so they need a hideout with a low, wide opening that is easy to enter without scraping their sensitive dewlaps (especially in does). Our editorial team recommends options with at least a 6-inch tall by 8-inch wide entrance and enough interior volume for the rabbit to fully stretch out, as Rex rabbits are prone to sore hocks and need soft flooring inside.

Rex rabbits also have delicate feet with less fur padding, so the hideout floor should be smooth or lined with a soft mat. Since they are generally calm and friendly, a hideout with multiple exits can help reduce stress if they feel trapped. We have researched real products available on Amazon that meet these specific needs for your Rex rabbit’s housing comfort and safety.
