Best Double Tier Rabbit Hutches UK (2026)
Two-storey hutches solve one real problem: how to give a rabbit (or pair) enough living space without doubling your garden footprint. The trade-off is the ramp — older, heavier, or mobility-limited rabbits sometimes refuse them. Know your rabbit before you commit to the format. All picks rated out of 10.
| Rank | Hutch | Rating | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PawHut XL 2-Tier 230cm & Run | 9.1 | ~£170 | Bonded pairs, small gardens |
| 2 | Bunny Business 4ft 2-Tier | 8.4 | ~£130 | Single rabbit, balcony setup |
| 3 | PawHut 54” Two Floor | 7.8 | ~£109 | Mid-budget, long-term single rabbit |
| 4 | Bunny Business Double Decker on Legs | 7.2 | ~£85 | Damp patios, small gardens |
| 5 | Bunny Business 2-Tier with Tray | 6.8 | ~£75 | Guinea pigs, dwarf rabbits |
#1PawHut XL 2-Tier Rabbit Hutch & Run 230cm
The best two-tier pick on this list. At 230cm it is physically the longest two-storey hutch available on the UK market — a full-length exercise run at ground level with a sheltered sleeping deck above. The run is accessible 24/7 via a ramp, the roof is asphalt-felted, and the slide-out tray makes daily cleaning genuinely quick. Lockable doors on all compartments. This is the pick when you cannot fit a 5ft hutch plus a separate 5ft run side by side.
Pros: 230cm total length · Run always accessible · Asphalt roof · Slide-out tray · Strong value
Cons: Ramp — not for elderly or heavy rabbits · Thinner timber than premium picks
Dimensions: 230 × 53 × 93.5 cm

#2Bunny Business 4ft 2-Tier Double Decker
4ft is the size where the double-tier format starts genuinely working for one adult rabbit. The Bunny Business 4ft has a noticeably sturdier frame than the smaller siblings in the same range, two properly enclosed sleeping sections (important for a rabbit’s sense of security), and a price that still undercuts most premium combo setups. Pair with a run for daily exercise — the hutch alone is not enough for long-term welfare.
Pros: Solid 4ft frame · Two enclosed sleeping sections · Good price
Cons: No integrated run · Must pair with daily run access
Dimensions: 122 × 51 × 100 cm

#3PawHut 54” Two Floor Wooden Rabbit Hutch
136cm puts this ahead of the compact Bunny Business options in terms of usable hopping length on each floor. Lockable doors, asphalt roof, and a removable tray are the three features that make a hutch practical for daily life — and the PawHut has all three. The mid-budget price point is honest: it is not premium timber but it is a solid, functional hutch. Best for a single rabbit you plan to keep long-term, with daily run access.
Pros: 136cm length · Lockable doors · Removable tray · Asphalt roof
Cons: Timber is thinner than premium picks · Pair with a run
Dimensions: 136 × 50 × 93 cm

#4Bunny Business Double Decker on Legs
The raised-leg design is the headline: real distance between the lower floor and damp ground, cold draughts, and standing water on patio surfaces. The slide-out tray is well engineered for the size. Compact footprint makes it ideal for small gardens or balconies where every centimetre counts. The honest limitation is size — 91.5cm is on the cosy side for a standard adult rabbit, so this works best for smaller breeds or as a secondary shelter alongside a large run.
Pros: Raised legs for damp protection · Compact · Well-made tray
Cons: Short at 91.5cm · Upper section tight for two adults
Dimensions: 91.5 × 45 × 90 cm

#5Bunny Business 2-Tier with Sliding Tray
96cm across both floors gives marginally more hopping room than the on-legs version. The sliding tray is the practical stand-out: it makes spot-cleaning quick and keeps the cage fresher. The honest note: 96cm is borderline for a standard adult rabbit. This hutch is best suited to guinea pig pairs, dwarf breeds, or as a supplementary shelter for a rabbit that has regular access to a large run.
Pros: Sliding cleaning tray · Compact price · Two floors
Cons: 96cm is short for adult standard rabbits · Add a large run
Dimensions: 96 × 47 × 86 cm

The Ramp Question
Two-tier hutches suit young, healthy, agile rabbits. Before buying, consider:
- Age — older rabbits (5+) often develop arthritis. A ramp becomes a barrier, not a feature.
- Breed — giant breeds and heavier rabbits (French Lop, Flemish Giant) struggle on steep ramps.
- Ramp angle — gentler ramps (the PawHut XL is the best here) are used more readily than steep ones.
If you are not certain, buy a single-storey hutch with a longer footprint instead. See our large rabbit hutches guide.
How We Rate
Ratings are out of 10.0, assessed on: build quality, usable floor space, weather resistance, value, and practical usability (cleaning access, run integration, door design). No hutch scores above 9.5 — there is always a compromise at any price point.
