Small Pet Housing and Cage Reviews
The number one welfare issue for small pets in Australia is inadequate housing. The cages marketed in most pet shops are far too small for rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Our reviews help you find or build enclosures that actually meet your pet’s needs.
What We Cover
- Rabbit enclosures — Indoor setups, outdoor hutches, predator-proof runs, and free-roam options
- Guinea pig cages — C&C cage guides, commercial enclosure reviews, and multi-level options
- Hamster cages — Glass tanks, bin cages, and commercial cages that actually meet minimum size requirements
- Bedding reviews — Paper, fleece, aspen, and hemp bedding compared for absorbency, dust, safety, and value
- DIY builds — Step-by-step guides for building custom enclosures and C&C setups

We review enclosures based on actual animal welfare requirements, not manufacturer claims. If a cage is too small, we’ll say so — regardless of how popular it is in pet shops.
