Bunny Ideas and Accessories

[Haley]

I was also concerned about the smell of soiled litter in the garbage...and while I was at the dollar store they had these little baggies that can fit about 1-2 cups of stuff in. They're just little tie baggies. I just grab one and dump the poop in it, scoop the soiled litter into it..then tie it and throw it in the little trash can that sits next to the cage.

This works great for keeping the soiled litter all wrapped up. Cant smell it at all!

I keep my hay in a deep cardboard box, but cut asmall doorway into one side so that it makes a ramp for the girls toget into it They like sitting up in there and watching what's goingon as well as eating! And, it keeps most of the mess contained.

The box toy:

And the digging pot, take on old plant pot, fill it with soil, tip iton it's side and voila! Sit back and watch your buns enjoy!

This is what I do for hay around my place - I find it is the cleanest thing I have come up with so far. I can't take all the credit, I got this idea from Freddy's Mom a while back...

The've gone to town on this box, but I replace it every now and then.

Just pull out the perforrated area on those glad garbage bag boxes, and stuff full of hay.

They have to put their face in the hole area to eat, and I find it keeps a lot of the spillage to a minimum... and my two love emptying their hay onto the floor...

This seems to keep it well contained and it's not easy for them to flip over.

I have a Shred-Ender that I use for brushing my pets.
Trouble is, the handle prevents me from brushing on the right side of the rabbit.

This isthe set up I have when brushing the bunnies.

I have the Zoom Groom brush, Shred-Ender, and Irun the vacuum while brushing to pick up the hair off the brushes.





Here are some modifications that I did to the Shred-Ender.

1. Pop off the soft plastic covers.
2. Unscrew the the screws
3. Pull out the blade.

This is a locking clamp that I got for $2.88

The Front of the blade is the direction to brush the bunny.

Clamp the blade tight so it doesn't move or slip.

Note: A spring clamp does not hold the blade tight enough.

Hold in up right position to brush.

This hay rack is a nice size and deeper.

:ideaI got this from Ikea last night and it was only $2.99. It is 8 1/4"x13". I was able to secure it by using the ties. The bars are wide enough for them to pic their hay through it and allows me to put it high enough to clean under it...and they won't jump into it! Oh, the tray on the bottom rocks too! :woohoo

Gotta LOVE Ikea!:yes:

Get a fluorescent light grid at a hardware store. The hard part may be cutting the plastic grid.

Thanks Flick.

This thread is great!! Some brilliant ideas!

For a hay rack we got a corner shelf basket thingy from Ikea... It was £1.99. It's great because it just cable ties into the corners of the top shelf of their cage, so you just need to lift the lid of the cage to fill it...

It holds tons of hay...

And it even fits a little bunny in as well!

No- really. Chalk loves to sleep in it, and she can be found in there pretty much all day! She buries down, puts her ears back and closes here eyes, and all you can see is the top of her head snoozing away in the hay rack! :hearts:

Anyone have a link to Ikea's web site where you can purchase this online? I can't seem to find it! I think this would be perfect for my bun.

I saw a feeder that works with gravity for chicken pellets and I'm sure it would be no different for rabbit pellets. What you do is take a 4 or 5 inch round length (as tall as the cage) of pvc that is shaped like an "L". Put a cap on the L end and cut a hole big enough to eat from on the inside of the "L". Face the"L" end toward the inside of the cage and if you make it long eoungh the other end could sit right below a NIC panel. You could also modify the panel right above so that the panel could open for easy refiling.

Sorry I don't have any pics, but I hope my directions could help someone out. :brownbunny

This is what I was talking about. Of course you can scale it down to fit in the cage. You also don't have to put a cap on top as long as it is high enough so no bunnies can't crawl in.
