NIC Cages Only-II

[evibugz]

My husband and I are in the process of finishing up a set of cages right now for Tyke and a new bunny (still seeing where this one is going).

We are working on the flooring right now. We have the frame all done, used the cubes and then zip ties to secure it.. oh man the zip ties D: So many of them!! We have sanded down and melted all the sharp edges on each one of the zip ties too. Didnt think about that step until Eddie sliced open his finger.

Here's what we have so far

There's the shell. The flooring we are putting together tonight and hopefully will have pics up later

about 1/4th of the clippings from the zip ties lol

Just a different angle of it.

I hope Tyke loves it when we are done. We got him a bunch of new toys and fun things for him to play with. We got him a nice little bed too, he wont let us take it out of his current cage he loves it that much

Looking great. I hated the zip tie part!:banghead Thats the only part I dreaded though, the rest was fun.

Does anyone else have the problem where you build a cage and then you have the uncontrollable urge to go out and buy more cubes... and make the cage bigger... and bigger... and bigger... and bigger... ?

:embarrassed:

It says all cages and set-ups, not just NIC.

I'm looking forward to see your pictures. I love all your bunnies!
And it's always interesting to see how people in different countries do things.

Finally i can add my pictures!
Here is evie's cage, and the process of making it

Generally speaking, how expensive is a box of cubes? (I live in the US) We really want to make some of these cages for our rabbits.

I think a box of cubes will be around $15, normal price? (The chrome ones are a little more.) They go on sale regularly (once a month, or every other month?), so if you have time you can just watch the Target ads for them. I think the sale price is $12.99 for black or white, $14.99 for chrome.

The cubes have recently been re-designed, so that about half of the panels have very wide grids, and the other panels have the "normal" grids. The ones with the large grids can be dangerous, as many bunnies can squeeze into the holes. These can still be used, if you plan for it. (Use them for floors, if you cover them with a solid flooring; use them for the top, if the bunny can't reach it; etc.) However, the re-design seems to have only affected the colored sets; at least at my store, the chrome ones still have small grids on all the panels.
