This is a specific conversation about Rabbit housing — space and setup that works — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Most hutches sold in pet shops are far too small — rabbits need space for at least three full hops, to stand completely upright on their hind legs, and to keep their sleeping and toileting areas separate. A cramped setup causes real stress and health problems. Since you're renting with no garden, we're looking at a fully indoor solution — so let me ask: how many rabbits do you have, roughly how much floor space can you dedicate to their setup, and is the rabbit free-roaming at any point during the day or fully contained?
Just the one rabbit, a Dutch. She's about two years old. I can give over a corner of my living room, maybe about 1.5 by 2 metres. She does get a couple of hours free roam in the evenings but needs to be contained the rest of the time.

That's a decent footprint to work with, and a 1.5 by 2 metre zone is genuinely workable for a Dutch rabbit with a solid base setup. Dutch rabbits are medium-sized — typically around 2kg — active, and quite curious, so they do better with horizontal space than tall multi-tier units. What's your flooring like in that corner? Hard floor or carpet? That affects what kind of base tray or mat you'd need underneath.
It's laminate flooring throughout. She tends to slip a bit on it if she's not on her mat.

Good to know — slipping on laminate is a real concern for rabbits, it puts stress on their joints over time. You'll want a jute or seagrass mat inside whatever you get, which most setups don't include but are easy to add. For your situation — single Dutch rabbit, indoor only, laminate floor, good-sized corner available — I'd go with the Ferplast Rabbit 160 Plus. It's a large modular indoor cage with an integrated run section, measuring around 162cm wide, which fits neatly in your 1.5m zone with a little room to spare. It has a proper deep base tray to contain litter and hay, good height for her to stand upright, and you can open the full front panel for free roam time without dismantling anything. It's one of the few genuinely rabbit-appropriate indoor cages sold at a reasonable price rather than a glorified hamster box.
That sounds good. Does it come with everything or do I need to buy extra stuff?

It comes with the structure, a divider, and a basic house section — but you'll want to add a few things to make it properly comfortable. A hay rack or a large hay bag mounted to the bars, a ceramic water bowl or side-mount bottle, a litter tray for the toilet corner, and that jute mat I mentioned for the floor section. None of that is expensive and most of it you may already have. The one thing worth spending on properly is the hay — it should make up 80% of her diet and be available constantly, so a good-sized bag of Timothy or meadow hay matters more than any accessory.
Perfect, that's really helpful. I'll look up the Ferplast one now.

You'll find it on Amazon UK — search 'Ferplast Rabbit 160 Plus' and it should come straight up. Just double-check the dimensions listed match your corner before ordering. If you run into any questions about setting it up or what litter to use inside, feel free to come back.
