Do crates are good and they come in all different sizes.

have a look at dog cages too, but I got a nero 4 (biggest bunny cage from PAH), the panels come off individually so you can buy two and fit them together maybe? If you wanted it any bigger

Have a look at the nic cages, you can make them fit the space you have

DEFO a dog crate for two rexes. 42" +

Ebay have some very cheap ones, but if you have a Jolleys Pet Food nearby, they sell crates too.

How much time will the spend in the cage and how much out? If they're going to be free range with just a cage with litter tray etc. then most 3/4' cages are fine. If they are going to be mainly shut in with then evening out then you need something big eg a dog crate with a pen attached - think about 6'x2' minimum area.

they would be free ranging most of the day, unless we go out which never be any longer than 2 hours in the day and wont be very often.
have people got any more pics of the NIC cages, im considering that option

Tina at waggytails has 2 house buns presently in a dog crate but with a puppy run for them to go out into. It works well and is a great safe idea

http://http://www.dabners.co.uk/product-5127-trixie-rabbit-150-indoor-cage.html

apparently its suitable for giant breeds! but you know what pet stores are like and the size of some indoor cages these days!

The trixi you've linked to is the biggest rabbit style cage you can get It's about 5' x2.5' so fine for just a couple of hours a day

this is mine with the nic cubes (i used two boxes)

nic cubes are great, because you can make them as big as you like, and fit them into any space!
