Bunny house ideas please!!

[TinksMama]

When I get my bunnies back I'd like to make really big cages/pens for them. Anyone have any ideas? The space I have to work with is 10ftx8ft for 11 bunnies. One is a New Zealand, another is a Mini Lop and the rest are Mini Rex. Hoping to bond at least three of them.

I have a dog xpen for my bonded pair. I'd recommend reading up on bonding trios since it can be somewhat trickier, and also look through the housing forum's photo threads for inspiration/ideas!

Ditto! Lots of good info here to help you bond your Three and really good thread about how others built their indoor Nic Units. I go with crates which each have their own individual space and get individual attention so can't give any advise on bonding.

Good Luck!

Thanks guys!! Is it harder to bond older rabbits? The Mini Lop Sparkle is about 9 years old, years ago she was bonded with another female. Is it hard to have a large community of females? I have six females so it would be a good size community. None of these girls will be spayed (Don't have the money). Also has anyone had any luck with bonding males? I had a trio of bonded brothers a while ago...but from what I hear its kinda rare?

Normally I would suggest a pen type deal, but with 11 bunnies I think you will need some stacked housing with a play/run enclosure. That way each bun can access the run solo or bonded sets. I imagine trying to divide it up equally would only server to give smaller spaces for everyone.

I would LOVE to see pics of what you come up with!
