This is a specific conversation about Rabbit supplies — what you actually need — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Rabbits are genuinely complex animals — they're often bought on impulse but they need real space, hay making up about 80% of their diet, social companionship, and daily enrichment to stay healthy and well-behaved. Getting the setup right from the start makes an enormous difference. Before we work out what's going to suit your new home, it helps to know: how many rabbits do you have, are they being kept indoors, and what's the main thing you're trying to solve right now?
I've just moved into a smaller house and I have one Giant Papillon. He used to have a big run in the garden but there's no room for that anymore. I need something indoors that gives him enough space without taking over the whole living room.

Giant Papillons are a big breed — typically 5 to 7 kg — so this is a real challenge and it's worth being honest that no single enclosure is going to replace a full outdoor run. A few things help me point you in the right direction: how old is he, is he neutered, and does he currently have free roam of any part of the house for exercise time, or is he fully enclosure-based at the moment?
He's about three, neutered, and in the old place he had the run all day and came inside at night. Now I'm thinking he'll need to be indoors most of the time. I can give him free roam of the living room for a few hours a day but I need a base unit that's practical and doesn't look like a disaster zone.

That's actually a workable setup — a few hours of free roam daily is the important bit for a rabbit his size, and the enclosure becomes more of a safe home base than his entire world. For that role, I'd go with the Midwest Homes Wabbitat Folding Rabbit Home. It's a proper indoor rabbit cage — around 120cm long — with a large top-opening door for easy access, a removable divider, and a pull-out plastic base that makes cleaning quick. It folds flat when you don't need it, which sounds minor but is genuinely useful in a smaller home. It won't feel cramped when he's using it as a resting space between free-roam sessions, and it doesn't look agricultural the way a lot of rabbit housing does. Pair it with a consistent free-roam routine and he'll adjust well.
That sounds sensible. Is there anything I should add to it to make it more comfortable for him given his size?
inparticular.ai
Yes — a few things make a real difference. A good layer of soft hay across the base serves as both bedding and encourages constant foraging, which is what keeps rabbits mentally settled. A large ceramic or heavy water bowl rather than a bottle is better for hydration. And give him one or two places to partially hide — even a simple cardboard box with a hole cut in it works — because rabbits feel safer with somewhere to retreat to. You don't need to spend a lot on accessories; the basics done well are what matter most for his comfort in the new space.
Really helpful, thank you. I'll look up the Midwest Wabbitat.

Good choice — it's one of the more practical options for a larger rabbit in an indoor setting. The main thing is keeping that free-roam time consistent so he gets proper exercise and doesn't get bored. Giant Papillons are curious, active rabbits and they do better than most when they have a predictable routine with space to explore. He'll settle into the new place faster than you might expect.
