HOL Table from Ikea - Covering lid?

Sarah1991 · Feb 26, 2015

I've just got one of these to turn into a new den for Milo and Finn http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50161321/

I was just wondering if anyone else had one of these or had any suggestions on what I can do to cover the lid? I don't want their feet going into the small holes.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

could you cover it with a carpet off cut?

Hi, I recently brought one of these for my daughters teddies and did think how great it would be for rabbits

I wonder if you could tightly staple (sort of upholster) a piece of waterproof fabric or even Lino across the lid and secured underneath it. Not sure if it might be slippy but there may be a non slip Lino that's thin enough. I was going to suggest adding a layer of foam or cork matting for a comfy seat but don't know if that's wise if they are chewers

Yeah I think I'll steer clear of foam, they prefer to sleep on a hard surface anyway :roll: so if they did decide to sleep up there its probably better that its not foam underneath.

Mine have these and are fine with the lid
Their problem is jumping into the box when the lid is open and landing on an uneven surface (I keep food/toys/newspapers in them)
