Hey everyone,

im looking into getting a new bed for milly, shes an indoor bun and will have full access to her box room so will no longer be in a cage :) (providing my oh agrees)

Atm she has a box for her bed but would like to get her something new.

Any ideas?

Pics would be great! :wave:
 
What about those dog basket things from Wilkos?

My two dont use beds - i've bought dog ones, cat ones and all they do is hump the cushions and wee on them :roll:

They generally flop out on a bit of carpet in their outhouse - or the concrete floor. :lol: We have an old hutch with the doors removed that they use as a 'base' too.
 
My two use their massive litter tray as a bed. :roll: They have a indoor cage base as a litter tray as Bobby is so big.
 
Its taken me 2 years to get Marley to use a bed. Watch for her favourite place to flop and doze off. If my 2 were free range 24/7 then it would be under the coffee table. So they have one of Tracy's fleeces under there to snooze on.

Then in the pen 2/3 of it are normal pet fleece and 1/3 at the very end is either faux sheep skin or one of Tracy's fleeces. They like to sleep on those now :)

They have one of those soft kennel houses by Ancol but they only sit on top of it and go in it for a quick sniff or a poo.

You could get use a nice soft blanket until you know what she likes :) I like to mix things up once a week, but always put their bed, wether it be a box, fleece, mat pillow etc in the same place :)
 
Noah on his bed.

It was a freebie that came with the dog's biscuits. It is also the only one they haven't destroyed. Noah ripped the $40 bed I got them to shreds. :roll:

Hi :wave:
Ive made my own beds for my indoor buns, didnt want to risk spending alot on expensive beds just for them to shred them! :roll::lol:

I bought a double summer duvet, cut it into 4 squares and sowed the edges well. I actually did this originally when one of my buns had head tilt and I had to confine her to a padded cage as she was rolling so much :(

Anyway I now fold each square in half to make a rectangle. Max has 2 of them, one on top of the other with a fleece blanket over the top so its extra soft and cosy!:

Timmy and Mimis bed is in a wheely draw under my bed. Again they have 2 of the duvet squares covered with a soft fleece:

(Please excuse the stray poop :roll::lol:

A huge bonus its that the duvets hold up extremely well in the washing machine, even at 90 degrees :shock: And dry really quickly. I can easily take the fleeces off every day to shake off excess fur. And as you can see all my buns are very enamoured with their beds :love:

I hope that helps :wave:
 
My lops have a folded duvet with towels on that they sleep on at night... (pic is a bit old, the towels have been a recent addition, just so that the duvet doesn't need to be washed so often)

And a fleece blanket under a chair where they sleep during the day...

My lionheads have another blanket on the ottoman where they sleep at night and a fleece blanket on the floor where they sleep during the day...

They also like to sleep in their dog bed under their table...

Oh I forgot to mention Nutmeg's bed. It's an old cat litter tray with a towel...

Sometimes they both get in...

You can see the old yellow one in the first lot of pictures but I took that out and replaced it with this one when I found it cos it's slightly bigger and the edges are smoother.
