I have 2 mini lops who are about 15 weeks old & at the moment they are in the same cage together (I think its a Nero 3) however they are getting bigger now & so they need a bigger cage. What type of cage is best, we have seen 2 tier cages or really long cages but aren't sure which are the best.

Indoor cage for 2 mini lops

Even if you just left the crate as it was it would still be much bigger than most indoor cages. A 48" one is normally about 4ft x 3ft which would make 12sq feet the same as a 6ft x 2ft hutch. aside from that the biggest one i know of is the Trixie rabbit 150 which I think is about 5ft.

I do exactly this!
You can get a good sized pen for little money;

This way, you can leave the indoor cage in there with the door open (if it has a door, or if not, leave the top off) and they can have the pen too!

I have two of them and at the moment while I'm bonding I'm using six panels which makes a 5 foot by 2.5 foot space. For permanent you need bigger. The only problem with this one is that you can't get a 180 degree angle so you can't get a line. But you could do that easy with cable ties.
Rabbits need an area of 6 by 2 by 2 foot with access to a bigger space at least some of the time for exercise.
Mine actually have a dog crate as a base and then have free range in my room all the time and also the rest of upstairs during the day.
