What this calculator does
Rabbit cage size works out minimum enclosure dimensions based on a measured hop, body length and standing height. Enter your own figures above and the answer updates as you type: nothing is fixed in the code, so the result reflects exactly the numbers you supply.
The formula this calculator evaluates is printed under the tool and explained below, so you can check the working by hand or reuse it in a spreadsheet.
The formula
FormulaLength ≥ 3 × hop distance; width ≥ stretched body length; height ≥ standing height + buffer
The inputs explained
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Length of one hop (cm) | A number, measured in cm. Starts at 90. |
| Body length, stretched out (cm) | A number, measured in cm. Starts at 45. |
| Height standing on hind legs (cm) | A number, measured in cm. Starts at 40. |
Worked examples
Every figure in the tables below is produced by this page’s own calculator at build time, so the numbers and the tool always agree. Select any row to load that scenario.
How the answer changes with length of one hop
Every other input is held at the calculator’s starting values while length of one hop varies. Select any row to load that scenario into the calculator.
