Quick answer

Rabbit mesh is a durable, sanitary material for building rabbit hutches, cages and protective garden fencing. It lets droppings and urine fall through to a collection tray, keeping fur clean and cutting the risk of flystrike. It also improves airflow to prevent ammonia build-up, and galvanised or PVC-coated steel resists chewing better than wood or plastic.

Rabbit mesh provides a durable, sanitary, and secure material for building animal hutches, cages, and protective garden fencing.

Key Advantages

  • Superior Sanitation: Allows waste, droppings, and urine to drop straight through to a collection tray below, keeping the rabbit's fur clean and minimizing the risk of flystrike or bacterial infections.

  • Excellent Airflow: Promotes continuous ventilation, helping to regulate temperature and prevent dangerous ammonia gas buildups from waste. 

  • Chew Resistance: Made from sturdy galvanized or PVC-coated steel, it withstands constant chewing from sharp rabbit teeth much better than wood or plastic. 

  • Predator Protection: Features small, tightly spaced openings (such as 1/2" x 1") that keep out external predators like cats, dogs, and rodents while safely containing kits and adult rabbits.

  • Low Maintenance: Simplifies routine cleaning, as wire surfaces can be easily hosed down, scraped, and disinfected quickly.

  • Long-Lasting Durability: High-quality hot-dip galvanized or coated options resist rust and weather damage, lasting many years outdoors.
