As Starsky is *hopefully* soon to be a house rabbit, I'd really love to see some pictures of your house bunnies' set up. Is it best for rabbits to be on a hard flooring(no carpet) for easy clean-up? I can't imagine my mum's reaction to Starsky urinating all over the carpet :shock:

Depends on the size. A good friend of mine has just homed a giant breed and uses a dog crate. Having more then one floor will not do for big buns. The door is left open when they are around until he is litter trained and it will be open all the time. Otherwise his mostly free range.
I suppose with smaller buns you can make a cage using those NIC Grid things, and have more then one floor to save floor space.

This was my old set up which worked really well as they had plenty of room when shut up overnight. Its too small for all day though without a pen attached.
They are now free range in one room so they just have an underbed storage box underneath a coffee table which is full of hay and they sleep behind the sofa underneath the radiator, or flop out in front of the fire. Its a hard life :lol:

Hi,
How big is the rat cage?
you could always put vinly tiles over the mesh floor
Ooh noo, I'm done on tiles
I tried getting those for my rats and couldn't find them anywhere, so now I'm just fed up with those The cage is a decent size for a rabbit's partial home.

Alvin and pearls home... ive made a few changes, the crate is now a 42" and ive made the pen enclosure slightly larger (total locked in size is 3.5 feet x 7 feet)..... the cat bed and vet bed now gone - pearl killed the cat bed and started chewing the vetbed, i now have an underbed storage box for the litter tray cus pearls a digger...lol
when opened up it blocks off access to the front door and ralphs dinner bowl other than that they have the whole downstairs when we are here to keep an eye on them
i would take a pic of it now but its half way thro being cleaned out

Well, it actually basically is the size of a dog crate; Even the first time my sister saw it when I recieved it for my rats, she said, 'That's a dog cage...'
I would post the link to it on Ebay for the picture but they don't seem to be selling it anymore; Or I'd take a picture of the cage itself but I'd have to fully assemble it.

Sasuke only has a run. He's too lazy to jump anyway and his old cage was driving me mad:lol: (Pet shop rabbit cage, made too much noise when he bounced around on the plastic floor:roll: Also he never left the cage, and I was worried he wasn't getting enough exercize.
Strangely now that he's got almost 6 times as much room all he wants is to get out more:lol:
I used to have a carpet underneath, but took it away because he was chewing on it. He walks directly on the carpet floor anyway:lol:

This is Bobbin's room containing a Ferplast 140cm (55 inches) cage (spot the coy looking bunny!)
Rat cage?? :shock:
The vast majority of rat cages aren't big enough for rats let alone a bunny even if he is a nethie.
Plus wire flooring and bunnies is a bad idea as it hurts their feet and they can end up with sore hocks, sometimes they can even get feet caught in wire and break their legs. You can get self adhesive vinyl tiles and planks from B&Q, they're great plus they're cheap.
Don't worry about him peeing on the carpet as bunnies are very easy to litter train especially if you have a neutered rabbit. But hard floors are easier to clean if there are any accidents.
This is my set up,
Though it now has a door, a divider to separate Otis and Nuggette whilst they're still whole bunnies. An extra litter tray up top instead of the plush bed. Vet bed on the carpet area, a tent downstairs with vet bed in, a play carrot patch. An extra food dish and water bottle, more hay racks, hanging hay balls. Rubber mats on the vinyl to stop buns from slipping.
Plus they spend over half their time out in the lounge separated by more grids from B&Q.
