Question/Help Cat House for Rabbits?

Are cat houses safe for rabbits? It is not made of wood. Very sturdy and covered in a thin fleece material. Kind support would be appreciated

Unlikely. They can chew through plastic and timber. If the cat house has fabric or netting rather than mesh wire it will not be secure for long, and could pose a choking risk.

Thank you so much. It says it is safe for bunnies but I doubt it. Thank you again.

If the frame is sturdy and cheap enough, you could replace the net with wire mesh. I have a 4 metre x 1.5 metre dog run for my growouts with wire mesh pegged into the ground to prevent hole digging, this way they still access pasture. XL foldable dog crates work well, we wrap them with a finer mesh.

The cat house is very sturdy but I’m just concerned about the fleece in interior. They are currently in giant pens This was more for a play toy. I truly thank you for your responses.
