housing for indoor rabbit

Bracken has sort of moved into the house, he`s much happier with the company and with him beeing very ill i can keep a better eye on him.

At the moment at night he sleeps in the carrier i use to take him to the vets its big around 2ft long by 1 1/2 wide, but not that much room for him really.

Have been thinking of getting him a crate what size should i get he`s a dwarf lop? am looking at a 48"!!

Also any other thing i`d find useful about having a indoor bun. In the day when i`m at work he`s in the shed in the garden his old home.

He`s good with the litter tray only a few little accidents sor far :?

I think the bigger the better Beany has a 48" and I'd still like a bigger one, although it is perfectly fine.

If you got a bigger crate Bracken could stay in that whilst you are at work rather than going out into the shed.
That way he'd be a full-time house bun

You need to make sure all wires and cables are Bunny proofed if Bracken is free range at any time. Buns are particularly fond of telephone wires :roll: :roll:

How much space can you spare? No really!

A 48" crate is good, especially if you put a second story in it. My buns are in pens made out of wire shelving grids, which I think you can get at Argos in the UK. You can also make big multifloored cages with those grids. Or you can use tall dog exercise pens to make a pen for him.

I second the bunny proofing. I used spiral wrap to cover my wires. I found it in the electronic section of a home improvement store. You can also use aquarium tubing, hollow shower rods, or pvc pipes. I've also found that my buns don't like the taste of bar soaps, so I rub them on the woodwork and furniture to prevent them from chewing so much.

Yeh, I have 48" for Sophie and she loves her cage! (She is a dwarf lop also)

I think it was SOAD who write a really good article on bunny proofing in the reference section - definately worth checking out
