2017 Cages You've Made

[Skavatar]

Had this plywood already, 27" X 52"

Bought some foam playmats at the dollar store, $2.

some 2x4 i had sitting around, for a border, cut large trash bags open and placed 2 layers for waterproofing.

wire cage with door

^ Be careful with the plastic bags. I'd be surprised if bunny doesn't start chewing them at some point. :eats:

You may want to consider getting a piece of rolled linoleum instead. They have super cheap options. Just be sure the 2 x 4s cover the edge of the lino.

Your bunny's a cutie!

^ Just to add for the rolled linoleum- you could probably do the cage for $5, I did my rabbits entire room for about $50 so it is so affordable and easy to clean if there happens to be an accident or mess! Highly recommend

Well it was time for an upgrade because we took a break from bonding these two due to one getting out while the other was having exercise time and they had a fight. That was a month ago. Also my maternity leave is almost up and I will feel better leaving them all day if they have more space. My husband built a wall out of spruce and chicken wire to divide this area of our basement. We are switching the rabbits between enclosures every 24 hours or so, to prevent them becoming overly territorial. We will try bonding again soon. I will add some tubes and other fun stuff as ideas strike me.

It's been years since I've had buns but recently adopted a bonded pair (sisters, actually). It was so nice to adopt and know that they already loved each other, were spayed, and had all their shots taken care of.

I managed to find an entertainment center for free on craigslist but then spent a lot on materials and paint (I wanted to make sure it'd be safe for them to chew- ended up using a mixture of chalk paint and milk paint). Finally finished it and they looooove it.

I made sure the lighting was recessed with a metal shell and they have no access to any wires. I've watched carefully and they've never bothered the lights at all.

Since most of the pics here are indoors, the following page can offer you a peek at some good outdoor housing (also has a few indoor, but most is outdoor):

Plain jane nothing fancy here just your normal outdoor cages for our last 2 Flemish Giants we had hubby builds um as fast as i tell him to we use whatever wood we have laying around saves us alot of money and only have to spend on wire. Cages are 5ft & 6ft long by 3ft wide the bucks cage is the 5ft long and the doe's is the 6ft long both have hide huts attached and i could open the tops of the hut and open the front end of the cage as well with ease of cleaning. We no longer have the Flemish Giants and our new Continental German Giant Doe will be going in the Flemish Doe's cage till spring where she will be upgraded to a much larger cage due to being bred. And a much larger cage will be built to house all the babies once there weaned from mom.
Rosie our Netherland Dwarf lives in the house with us she use to live in a outdoor shed in a tiny little 2x2ft cage, now she lives in a roomy 4 1/2ft x 2 1/2ft cage and she just LOVES zooming around in there and playing with all her toys and loves her free time out of the cage as well. Like i said nothing fancy but they have a good life and get lots of love and attention.
