Would this be okay for my bunny?

minirex · May 15, 2008

:wave: I am trying to find a good indoor cage for my indoor bun. He will possibly be going to stay with my aunt while I am on holiday. At the moment he lives in the kitchen but my aunt wont allow that at her house.
When he goes to stay I will take his outdoor run with me but obviously he can't stay in the run at night or if it's raining.

Can anyone recommend a good temporary indoor cage?

I like this one, is it any good?

What about using NIC grids from B&Q to make a cage? Much cheaper and much more space!

or a dog crate? you can get really cheap ones on ebay and can make different levels. that cage looks a bit small to me

that cage looks quite small and overpriced 4 the size, i would recommend searching for dog crate on ebay :wave:

I agree ... too small

Definitely look on e-bay for dog crate

:wave: I've got a large dog crate too, when we had our last pair my husband added a wooden shelf and ladder to it, and when we went up stairs to bed at night they used to do the same :lol:

The good thing about these is you can fold them up and store them easily when they're not needed.

Beau is in a dog crate at the moment and its much better than a rabbit cage

I have a 36" one but Beau isnt to be moving much at the moment which is why I got the smallest in the shop, you can get bigger ones

I'm making a list (in size order) or rabbit cages here: http://www.therabbithouse.com/indoor/rabbitcages.asp

To give you a comparison, a 48" x 30" crate gives you 0.91 meters squared.

If it's just a temporary cage for on holiday then a cage with a deep base might be better even if it's slightly smaller than a crate as it will keep the mess in better.

You could get a dog crate and then get some corrugated plastic to create a deeper base for it. Much cheaper and really good all-round.

Thanks for that, but which one should I choose!! It's for a mini rex, so any one of the cages on the list would be okay?
It's just for while I'm away. And he will be taking his outdoor run with him.

Would this be okay for my bunny?
