Under the stiars?

I have a space under my stairs, I can lay down in it, long days and width ways. I'm 5 foot 9. I'm adopting charm, she could deffo stand up as it is obviously the shape of our stairs.

It already has laminate wood flooring on the floor under it. i'm thinking of buying some mesh grids or a play pen and barring the whole area off so that she can have that as a home base. She'll be out most of the time but do you think that is okay for her? should I protect the wall obviously i will check if there are any wires under there... she'll have a litter tray and water bottle and food.

That was what i was thinking so she wouldn't escape! LOL x
anything else you guys can think of? xx

I dont know what your stairs are like i.e wether its a large cupboard with a door, or if it is all open, etc...

I have this pen, and it kept my bunnies safe when they were indoors, they could jump out though, if they REALLY wanted to, but they never did. The only other thing i would say is that if you need a straight edge, then you will have to use cable ties as this will only go in an octagon shape.

Hope that helps, im not sure what your proposed area is like, so cant help much.

It's all open, we've ordered a box of mesh because we needed some anyway. Thanks x

Ok. Good luck with the set up, can we have pictures!!?

It sounds good but definately check for any power cables!

You might find the rabbits are able to chew on the edges of the laminate floor and of course they can destroy anything made of wood. So you may want to protect any edges that are exposed with metal cornering etc.

I would put carpet down anyway to make it cosy that would distract her from destroying the wood probably too! The carpet shop gave me free old samples when I asked, they are 1m x 1m so if you could get some of them you can carpet it for free.

That sounds like a good option, Cat who hasnt been on here for a while did a similar thing with her understairs. As others said check any cables are protected and also your skirting boards if you want to keep them in good condition
