Is my house/garden suitable for rabbits?

First of all, we need to admit that rabbits are outdoor animals. They love running on grass, digging holes, taste different kinds of greenies and play with dirt. They need exercise everyday, by running and hopping around, they also need to feel the soil beneath their feet. They like being outside when the sun is shining. These are just their nature.

I live in a house which has a garden but as my garden is not suitable for a safe and secure rabbit house, I have to keep my rabbit inside the house - which brings some problems and difficulties. I use my garden to walk and play with my rabbit.
For those who want to adobt rabbits, I really recommend you to have a garden - where you can build/place the house, making the garden their home. In winter though, when it's snowy and really cold, you may consider moving the house inside, or insulating the house - so that they won't feel cold in cold days. 
If you don't have a garden, there are some complications that you'll face; like smell, hygiene and possible damage to the room they will live in. 

THE SMELL and HYGIENE

Rabbits look like clean animals, they eat vegetable, fruits, hay and all organic food, but their faeces still smell - when they are fresh. Their urine smell really strong and the smell becomes stronger in a very short time. The male rabbits may urinate on the female, to leave their own smell on them - to mark them. This may cause some unwanted sprayed urine, which will in time smell really bad. In a closed space, like a room in house, it's hard to get of the smell - especially when it's too cold in Winter. You will need to clean the cage/house once in three days. But if they live outside in the garden, you won't have much problem as long as you clean their house often.  

POSSIBLE DAMAGE

As rabbits are rodents, they like teething, chewing and digging. With their short, little front paws, they most likely try digging even hard surfaces, which may scratch and remove the varnish. Although they tend to urinate a specific area when taught, they still may urinate on the floor, which is a disaster if you have wooden floors. You can cover the floor with plastic sheets or newspaper to avoid this. 
One more important fact to be considered is some rabbits try to chew electric cables - as they think they are roots. They really look like roots, don't they?  This may cause some serious health danger for your rabbits, so if your rabbits will stay in a room, you need to remove all electric cables or set them up somewhere they can not reach.
