Types of small animal cages in this collection
Small animal cages in this range fall into four groups. Chicken coops are the largest group, followed by hamster cages, rabbit hutches, and houses and habitats.
Chicken coops and runs
Chicken coops are the largest group in this range. Most are wooden hen houses with an attached run, a nesting box and a slide-out tray. Galvanized metal runs with a waterproof, UV-resistant cover suit bigger flocks. A few are sold as a duck coop. Listed capacities run from 1 to 14 birds.
Hamster and multi-tier cages
Multi-tier cages suit pets that live indoors. Many have two to five levels, a deep tray, ramps and shelves, and some roll on wheels. One hamster cage adds a storage cabinet and acrylic panels. Smaller models are listed for hamsters, gerbils and rats. The tallest is listed as a ferret cage and names chinchillas too. A guinea pig cage here has two separate areas.
Rabbit hutches
Rabbit hutches are wooden homes for rabbits and guinea pigs, used indoors or outdoors. Many have a water-resistant roof that opens, a pull-out tray and a ramp down to a run. Two-level and wheeled models are also in the range. Lengths run from about 51 cm (20 in) to 216 cm (85 in).
Houses, habitats and playpens
Houses and habitats give small pets room to exercise and rest. Some are panel playpens built from 12 panels with a door and a waterproof mat. A small animal playpen like this suits indoor floors and patios for supervised play. Other small animal pens and habitats add a sheltered sleeping area.

How do you choose a small animal cage?
Match the cage to the animal
Start with the species, because each one needs a different layout. Hamsters need deep bedding. Guinea pigs and rabbits need a wide floor. Chickens need roosting space plus a run. Chicken coop listings name a flock size from 1 to 14 birds.
Measure the floor space
Floor area matters more than height. Compare the length and width on the product page with your space, in centimetres and inches. Leave about 30 cm (12 in) free beside the cage so doors and trays open fully.
Choose a material for the setting
Wooden hutches and coops suit a dry, sheltered spot. Galvanized metal runs shed rain. Sizes run from about 2.8 m (9.2 ft) to 6 m (19.7 ft) long. Plastic and acrylic panels wipe clean fast.
Check doors and trays
Lockable doors help keep curious pets in. A pull-out tray lets you clean without lifting the animal. Look for a door wide enough for your hand and a food bowl.
Plan for weather and movement
Outdoor housing needs shade, shelter and a spot off damp ground. Some models roll on wheels. A small pet cage then moves onto fresh grass, or indoors in a cold snap.
Where do small animal cages work best?
Backyards and small farms are the best home for coops and large runs. A coop with a nesting box and an outdoor run gives hens shelter at night. They get room to scratch by day. Metal walk-in runs let an owner step inside to collect eggs and clean. Pair them with chicken coops that match the flock size.
Apartments and living rooms suit multi-tier cages and indoor hutches. A tall hamster or guinea pig cage uses wall space instead of floor space. Wheeled models roll aside for cleaning, and a panel playpen gives extra floor time. Rabbits can also live in rabbit hutches on a covered porch.
Pet shops, rescues and school classrooms use cages for short stays and display. Easy-clean trays and clear access doors make daily care quick. Round out the setup with pet supplies such as bowls, bedding and carriers.
How do you set up and care for a small animal cage?
Set up a small animal cage on level ground, away from drafts, direct sun and loud appliances. Remove soiled bedding every day or two, and empty the tray often. Wipe the floor and tray each week with a pet-safe cleaner, then dry them fully. Check wood, latches and mesh for chewing or wear, and fix any gaps right away.

Small animal cage FAQs
What is a cage for small animals called?
A cage for small animals is usually called a small animal cage, small animal habitat or small animal hutch. Hutches are wooden homes used mostly for rabbits and guinea pigs. Habitats and multi-tier cages suit hamsters, gerbils and rats. Coops are the matching home for chickens and ducks.
What animals can live in these cages?
Common choices are hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and chinchillas. Backyard chickens and ducks live in coops with runs. Each species has different space needs. Check the animals named on the product page, then choose the largest size that fits.
What size cage does a guinea pig need?
Guinea pigs need more floor space than many starter cages offer. Many guides suggest at least 7.5 square feet (0.7 square metres) of floor for one or two animals. Choose a wide design with a solid floor and a ramp, and add a run for daily exercise.
Can small animal housing be used outdoors?
Outdoor use depends on the model. Wooden coops and hutches with waterproof roofs, and metal runs with covers, are made for yards. Indoor cages with trays and mesh are not made for rain. Place outdoor housing in shade, off damp ground, and protect pets from extreme heat and cold.
How do you clean a small animal cage?
Remove soiled bedding every day or two, and empty the pull-out tray. Wipe the tray and floor with a pet-safe cleaner each week, then dry them fully before adding fresh bedding. Models with removable trays and openable tops make this job faster.
Do small pet cages ship free in Canada?
