Are your buns out of their cage all the time, or are they shut in for long periods (e.g. at night)?
It's just that cage looks like a Ferplast 100-style cage, and I couldn't imagine ever putting a level in mine, unless it was a very small shelf. It's low enough as it is, without dividing it in two, and buns do like to be able to stand up and stretch (my mini rex is in one temporarily and he can only just stand up fully in it) :?
They are house rabbits mainly, and only really spend the night in the cage.
They are usually hopping about my kitchen or tv room. :wink:
In the morning I open the door, and they get shut up usually around 2am.
I know, I'm a night hawk
I'm not sure of the make of the cage, but I bought it originally with a pygmy hedgehog in mind, in which case its a huge cage, but the breeder let me down and I only had the one shot at it because I was importing.
Then my work mate asked me to take a very nervous rabbit he caught in a town because he has about 7 rabbits and 5 ferrets himself, and didn't have the time to devote to him. He told me it was a tiny rabbit the size of a guinea pig :?
I myself do think the cage smaller than I'd like it, but its the best I can find, and at any rate it is better than being shut up in a small hutch by himself inside a shed 24/7 like he was.
Its the biggest cage I have ever seen for sale, and I scouted around for hutches and I cant find bigger ones either.
Once they are vaccinated they will be spending a lot of time out in a large run
The shelf only covers a portion of the cage, less than half anyways, and Captain especially loves being sheltered under it, as he is very shy and likes his privacy, they are able to sit up comfortably under it, and in the larger part of the cage without a shelf, they can stand up on their tip toes.
I'll post pictures when their run is done
t'll have double fencing to prevent my dogs getting close enough to worry them, but the dogs are always in the house too anyways :shock: dont worry different rooms
:shock:
