Built Teddy a new NIC condo today!

[littl3red]

I am extremely pleased with it, I think Teddy is too. She's still getting comfortable, but I figure it won't take her too long to settle in. For now the levels are cardboard and the floor is a shower curtain, but I am replacing it all with linoleum as soon as I get my hands on some. I'm so excited. :weee:

I actually have a lot planned for this little mansion of hers. I'm going to decorate it to match my room, mostly for my entertainment and testing of my artistic ability. I doubt if Teddy cares about the colour scheme of her house. But I'm going to build a little cardboard chandelier to hang in the top, and a little chaise lounge bed/pillow, or maybe a canopy bed, since she loves the privacy of her paper bag so much... I'm even trying to talk Boyfriend the Carpenter into making me a miniature fireplace/hay manger. She'll be the most spoiled bunny around! :biggrin: I was wondering though, does anyone know of a way I could make a black paint out of food products to paint the "chandelier" with? It's not necessary, I could leave the cardboard bare, just curious.

That looks nice!! Has Teddy been able to get on the upper levels? I have found that my shelfs can only be 7 mini squares up.

Yeah, she gets up and down fine. She really, really likes jumping. :rollseyes Especially jumping on my TV stand and knocking everything down, little punk.

LOL

Aww it looks great! So much more space for her. Agnes has a 3 level condo too and she loves it. She is quite a jumper too

Way to go on the cage. Have fun decorating!! I'm always looking for toys and things too. I think it's never ending

Very Nice. Do you have an Ikea near you? They sell doll beds, I have one for my munchkins. They all lay on it when they are out in the living room.

Here's a picture of the Doll Bed with Vega resting on it.

I found a better picture of the bed. This is Buttercup (RIP).

That doll bed is very cute! We don't have an Ikea here, but I'll keep my eyes open for something similar. Thanks for the suggestion, that's a good idea!

Looks great! I'm sure Teddy is happy with all that extra room! :highfive:


Couple cautions though: keep an eye on that shower curtain - that she doesn't start chewing it up. And also be careful with those cords on the left side. She may be able to gt her little nose through and chew those yummy cords.

 

[littl3red]

Yeah, I wasn't really sure what to do with the cords. They haven't been a problem in the past, but I was trying to think of something to do with them just in case. And yeah, I've been keeping an eye on the shower curtain, I might go get linoleum tomorrow.

I agree about the cords. Those are WELL within reach. I have a friend with rabbits in an air conditioned shed. She often walks in there and finds things all chewed up in the cages. She knows that those items were over a foot or 2 away from the nearest rabbit cage earlier in the day. We can not figure out how they get them in there.

The point is I would move the cage over as much as you can. Your rabbits WILL get those cords in their cage and chew on them.
