A couple of questions...

Plus you have to buy flooring. You can get a peice of vinyl at Lowes or Menardsfor $20 already cut.

Don't put panels on the floor. Some people have asked about that.

I actually own a 4'x2' plastic cage from PetSmart, but I think it was $80-90 (I had to order it online, it wasn't available in store). Lots of people hate the pet store cages, but I actually like it. I can feed my bun in there, keep his litter box in there, etc, and it keeps all of his mess contained to one small plastic area that I can wipe clean. My bun loves to go in his cage and sit up on the shelf or hide under it. I also got him an exercise pen to attach to the front of the cage. At first he stayed in the cage and was let out to play in the pen, but once we realized he had the litter box thing down, he got the whole cage plus xpen area as his cage (which is 4'x8' total).

I think NIC cages are great, but I love my cage set up because it's simple and very easy to clean. Plus, I can take down the xpen if we have guests over, or if I need to take my bun somewhere I can just fold up the xpen and bring that along, instead of needing to drag a whole cage somewhere. Xpens are great! If I had to give up either my pet store cage or my xpen, I would absolutely give up the cage and keep the xpen as his entire living area.

I would suggest making the biggest cage you can, for the same price. Often the shop made ones work out much more expensive.

If he is finding that cage too small, then you need a bigger cage. If you can't get floor space, then going upwards with levels and things can be a great way to stimulate an active bunny.

Even better, get your bunny from a shelter! It will most likely already be spayed/neutered (less headache and cost) and potty-trained, plus the staff will have an idea of its personality!

Elrohwen: That's why I like the those plastic tub cages. So easy to clean. I don't work, so I'm home all the time. My two birds are out of their cage all day, unless I run out for a short while. My future bunny will be out of his cage as much as the birds. I'm also planning on giving him 24/7 access to a run. I'm going to put a ramp to his cage and leave the door open all the time when he gets his litter habits perfect.

Flashy: I would like something that's really easy to clean and it seems if he ever misses his litter box, it would be hard to reach his poo in a cage like that. I maybe end up doing that, who knows, especially if I can work out a way to keep the litter box near the door. Those cages do look really awesome. I'm still doing some research and seeing which setup I think would be best for me and my bunny.

Tonyshuman: I'd love to get a bunny from a shelter. I haven't seen any bunnies in local shelters though. Most shelters I've been to only do dogs and cats. I'm getting kinda tired of that. There are other kinds of animals in need of homes, ya know? Seems i'm gonna have to drive way outta town (perhaps outta my county) to find a shelter that has bunnies. That's fine with me, if it means I find the perfect bunny for me and my husband. ^^
