New Kit
Hi guys! We had a small house accident that led to a bunny hutch door being ripped off, so today I took the opportunity to build new doors and give the cage some TLC.
This led me to wondering how other people house their indoor bunns, espically the larger ones?
When I first adopted Mr.B I had much difficulty finding a cage that would allow a rex to stretch out fully, stand up, and have room for a litter box, food, water, etc.
The goal was/is to let him free run during waking hours (12-18hrs a day) but have this enclosure while his humans sleep or to keep him secure and out of danger during instances like firnature moving. I also wanted to enforce this area as his safe haven like crate training a dog so if something was bothering him he would have a spot that was his territory to hide and feel safe.
Most things I found on the market were too small for his needs or made for outdoor use and geared towards an outdoor rabbit life. So i made his enclosure from a metal shelving unit. It's been up for over two years at this point.
I was just wondering what other creative solutions people have found for these type situations and hoping for some pics of how other house bunnies live.
Here's a few pics after the new doors were put on, you can see this obviously isn't a full time housing size enclosure but large enough that he can definitely move about unrestricted. I also added this nice large metal reinforced opening for easy hay access which he really seems to appreciate
