I need ideas, sometimes I get a burst of creativity, but thats kind of rare, and it doesn't seem to be happening at the moment hahaha! Very excited though!!

What are you building for? A bonded pair, 2 singles? How many grids did you get? How much space do you have?

I would recommend a 2X3 or 2X4 grid cage. It should be at least 2 high. You can have levels or shelves if you want as well.

Look at pictures of what other people have done and see if any appeal to you.

Hey thanks, that's a great idea bc you gave him a place to run too! Well I bought 3 boxes, and it will be for 2 rabbits, hopefully lol they're not bonded yet.i stared tonight, and I'm trying to be creative, but of coarse I ran out of zip ties ugh lol

Mdith4him - love, love, love our NIC condo. Wondering where you purchased the NIC panels and are the inside size of each panel 1 1/2 inches. Have read so much about the grids being larger and a danger hazard for little bunnies. Thanks

We bought ours at Kmart (23 grids for $17). The holes are the smaller kind (not the newer larger holes). The bigger holes are dangerous for smaller bunnies, so we made sure to get a safe kind. So far ours are holding up very well!

Thanks so much. Will look at KMart for them

I love NIC cages, they have to be my favourite in bun housing. Just so customizable and easy to change. I always needed over 100 zip ties for a whole cage.

you can use cavycages.com and check out the 'other pets' section or just look at guinea pig cages but keep in mind that it'd have to be at least 2 grids tall.

I've had Peppy in a 2x3 when he was small, a 2x4, a 3x4 and all different kinds of levels. 3x1 or an L shaped level mostly.

I just posted a new topic but wanted to show you Amy's new setup. She loves it!

 

[blondiesmommie]

Very nice!!!! What did ou use for ramps and shelves there??? And is that fleece for flooring??

 

[Amy Lou]

For the shelves I used the extra NICs and then put a fleece covered thin piece of wood. Amy only pees in the litter box so I'm not too worried about the wood. Same with the ramp only no NICs. Oh I covered the ramp with a pillow case than I cut open the other end. She climbs in there and sleeps in it like it's a hammock Very cute!! I picked the fleece cuz it's sports themed and matches my sons room
