1. What is Bunny Cage Size Calculation?

The Bunny Cage Size calculation determines the minimum recommended space required for housing rabbits based on the number of bunnies and minimum space requirements per rabbit.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( bunnies \) — Number of rabbits
• \( min\_size \) — Minimum space required per rabbit (typically 12 ft²)

Explanation: The calculation multiplies the number of bunnies by the minimum recommended space per rabbit to determine total cage size.

3. Importance of Proper Cage Size

Details: Adequate space is crucial for rabbit health and wellbeing. Proper cage size prevents stress, promotes exercise, and reduces territorial aggression.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of bunnies and minimum space required per rabbit (default is 12 ft²). All values must be positive numbers.
