CAGING

Question
Hello,
I need to know what kind of cage is better for my Jersey Woolie, solid floor or wire floor?

Answer
You'll want the cage floor to be solid.  Rabbit's feet can't handle a lifetime of wire flooring.  That type of flooring will cause injury to the feet over time.

I also think that solid floor cages are easier to clean.  In wire floored cages, fur, poop, and urine over time get stuck to the wire and can be a real pain to properly get clean.

If you must use a cage with a wire floor, you'll need to provide something solid in the cage for the rabbit to rest on.  Carpet, wood, cardboard, coroplast would work for a resting area.
