Cage/playpen recommendations

[oreo1]

Can any one recommend a good larger indoor rabbit cage with a pen to hop around?

I don't know of any cage+pen sets that I would recommend, based on sizing. I recommend buying an x-pen and large dog crate separately in order to maximize size and quality as well.

Okay thanks. What would you suggest to put under the pen for easy cleaning?

For the pen, I'd recommend something like this: https://www.amazon.com/MidWest-Fold...dog+pen&qid=1625329446&sr=8-6#customerReviews

As for something to put under the pen, lots of people have recommended me textured vinyl sheets. I haven't used them yet but I'm actually going to Home Depot to pick them up today

Is there away to way connect a cage to the pen? So she can hop out during the day when I’m at work?

You can clip the xpen to the side of dog crates since those are grid walls too. So rather than linking the ends of the xpen together, you link each end to a side of the dog crate.

Here's a random site I found with a picture of the set up I describe: PTPA Playpen - Medium

Okay-thanks

Low-weave carpet rugs, found at Menard's, come in various sizes. Low-weave offers traction for your boy/girl to do zoomies in their pen space.

Easy cleaning for errant marbles or loose hay can be accomplished by a broom, small plastic garden rake, or a cordless rechargeable vac'.

@oreo1 , per @lilac and @John Wick 's suggestions, you may also want to order 2 of the sturdy MWHforPets exercise pens in black or gold zinc finish. i.e. If the delivery person is making the trip to your doorstep. They are a good investment. We have multiples and had multiple bonded pairs and fostered buns in the past years. We found the MWHforPets sturdy and convenient.

Our Flemish Giant foster boy (plus new lionhead girl) have leapt over the ex-pen height upon initial set-up and introduction in our home. Both of these buns were strays. FG boy had a limited space in photo because of upcoming neuter and anticipated recovery time.

- Please take a rabbit's ability to jump into consideration. Hidey boxes and jump stands can facilitate their ability to do so. I am mentioning this in case you have a known leaper already!

The taller pens have step-thru entry which is helpful for humans to enter! That wasn't the case when we first acquired MWHforPets xpens years ago.
