Why are wire cages preferred over all wood for rabbits?

1. More durable

2. Less bacteria and easier to clean

3. Cheaper

4. Rabbits prefer them

The correct answer is: Less bacteria and easier to clean

Wire cages are preferred over all wood for rabbits because they are less susceptible to harboring bacteria and are easier to clean. This can help prevent health issues and ensure a cleaner living environment for the rabbits. Although wood cages may be more durable or cheaper, these do not address the main concern of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene for the rabbits. Studies have shown that rabbits are not necessarily drawn to or prefer one type of cage over the other.
