I have an indoor bunny who doesn’t have a cage
We live in an apartment and I’ve sectioned off one end of the living area with these wooden dog gates kind of zigzagged across the room. We can easily push them to the side so he can free range, but when we are sleeping or not home he is in his area.
In his area he has a little dog bed, a couple of litter trays, lots of toys, a bag that he sleeps in, a blanket to dig on, some ceramic tiles of different textures, and the floor is covered with small rugs of different textures. He also has an area in there to hide in which is super important for bunnies, I got two cheap little IKEA tables and put them side by side, put a comfy fluffy rug under the tables and then draped a couple of $3 IKEA rugs over the top to provide cover. He loves it, and the tables are low enough that he can jump up, giving him another level to play on.
To bunny proof the apartment we made sure no wires were accessible, so the wires for the tv etc are secured behind the tv unit so that he can’t get to them, and to stop him being able to access the wires from crawling under the unit (they can fit into really small spaces) I got really low storage boxes that fit underneath, and have just used the space as storage for things like my watercolour supplies. I’ve found that just blocking access is usually the easiest way to go, like we had to find things to put down either side of the fridge to stop him getting in there and accessing the cables at the back. At first we were blocking those spaces off with random stuff, but like with under the tv unit I eventually brought storage boxes that fit in all the weird little places I don't want him in, and now use the space as storage.
We have a no cable rule in the apartment, on our desk we have one cable coming from the wall which runs into a charging unit, and that cable is covered by a protector we bought that’s apparently tough to chew and tastes bad. Any other cables go in there with the connector coming out the top, and anything that needs charging sits on top. Even if he got up onto the desk, which he can’t, he still wouldn’t be able to get at the chargers.
One thing to be cautious of is if your bunny has access to the kitchen making sure they don’t eat anything they aren't supposed to eat. I’m always dropping stuff when I cook! It’s something I’ve had to learn to be more careful with, I sweep every time I prepare food now. And obviously anything that would be dangerous for them to eat elsewhere in the house should be out of reach, like houseplants.
It’s great you are thinking about this before you get your bunnies :wave: I have found with all my bunnies there have been little things I’ve had to work around depending on their personalities too. My current bunny has a thing for shoes, we have to keep all shoes in the wardrobe or they end up destroyed. He goes for them even if we are wearing them :lol:
