Safe and comfortable shelters are as important to animals as a house is to humans. The size, style and specific features of each animal house in Folsom CA will vary according to what type of creature it is for and how many will be in it. There are many attractive and durable housing structures available in retail shops that have been carefully designed for security and comfort. Many styles can also be adapted for use with species other than what they were designed for.
Chickens and Small Animals
Chicken hutches or coops generally include an enclosed structure, often with a door that latches to keep birds safely tucked away at night. Any coop should provide enough space for all of the birds to nest comfortably. Raised hutches are easier to clean and free up outside walking space in fenced in areas. Small coops are also useful for rabbits, guinea pigs and many other small animals.
Rabbit Hutches and Houses
Rabbit homes are often built in a similar manner to how chicken coops are assembled, except usually without the extra space for outside exercise. There are some models that do include this, as well as single-floor and multi-floor hutches available. A good hutch will protect from predators, shelter rabbits from the weather and offer slide-out pans for easy cleaning. Many of the smaller models are designed to be used inside and outside.
Keep Dogs Safe
Protecting a curious and rambunctious dog can be a chore. That is why there are a number of solutions that can help to prevent them from damaging a home, or doing something to harm themselves. Outdoor kennels are useful for high-energy dogs because they can exercise without constant monitoring. Inside, crates and playpens restrict pets to a certain area as well as provide a secure hideaway at bedtime. Crates can be purchased in plastic and metal, and collapsible fabric crates are good for small homes, apartments and when traveling.
Most manufactured animals houses will offer comfortable shelter as well as increase the safety of the animal. Modern designs are made to be more resilient to weather and easier to keep clean thanks to washable trays and rooftop access into cages. Some are also adaptable, so as a population grows or the animal gets larger the shelters can be added to, or combined with other sets to provide more room.
