get a dog crate.. they have more space than a standard indoor cage I got mine on ebay. There are some with metal trays, mine has a thick plastic tray, although it was a bit more expensive it causes less noise and isnt slippery

I did consider a dog cage but was not sure what size.

a 48inch is about right if you put in levels mine is a 42 but my buns are outdoors and generally only come indoors if its freezing.

When I had a dog crate I had an 48", now I have build mine a new indoor cage with NIC cubes. Brought two boxes, so was cheaper than a dog crate from a shop (you can prob get one cheaper on ebay though)

This is the link for the cubes http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/n...refview=search&ts=1207146645955&isSearch=true

And here is a photo of my 'Bunny Towers' http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=131288

It's the second photo down and Bugsy is modeling for you!

I advise NIC grids too, they make the best cages IMO, and are pretty affordable.

I used the NIC system also though theyre called the 6 cube storage system from B&Q & built two 6x3ft cages for my buns. Though by the time Id bought the perspex for the floor & covering for the perspex each cage prob cost just over £80.00 My buns love them & no longer rush to get out when I open the doors The good thing about the grids is that you can build the cage to fit around your furniture & my 4 buns have loads of room
