Gertie

Hi. :wave:
Since my guys have fairly recently bonded, they are in need of moving into a new home together which meets their new love needs . They're indoor bunnies, but outside in their run from sun up to sun down. I was thinking about the dog crate option, the 48" one. I'd like to put a shelf in, but I'm concerned about headroom! I've also contemplated getting two crates and joining then together. The height is approximately 32", so that would be halved, minus some for the thickness of the shelf, is this going to provide enough bunny bonce room? Gertie's the biggest, but she should only weigh about the same as Robert when she's at her ideal weight (she's a buxom young lady at the mo) which is about 2.7kg. They will need to be shut in there, as I would not leave them free range when we are not supervising over night.
Anyone done this? Is headroom an issue? I'm struggling to find a decent cage for my two as a rabbit cage and I'm thinking the only way to go is DIY! Moving them outside is not an option. Robert is on meds almost constantly and we like him close by, especially overnight.
