NIC Cages Only-Now Closed

[Weetwoo_89]

I see some people leave their cages'topless'. To those people, aren't you afraid that your bunny will getout by climbing/jumping? Or does that not happen often and people withtops are just being safe? Just a thought...

Some bunnies wont jump. The rescue where Ivolunteer uses only those pen-types, where they are two panels high andno top. This makes is a lot easier to clean and feed them etc. If thereis a bunny who likes to jump or climb, they put a sheet over it whenthe bun is in its pen.

I have two foster girls right now that I have in a pen. It is a lot easier to build and clean and such.

Aha, thanks Haley. ^.^

New cage is done. For flooring I have tilesaround the edge The center is a hard plastic floor thing that computerchairs use. Hey I had to think of something cheap. Bungee cord thingsto make sure they cant open it.

They love it!

Here is the cord:

Here is the one I just finished, my first.. Imodeled mine after stephiemarie78 It seemed to be thebest one for the space we had available. Then I modified it a littlebit..


Here is the whoel thing.. I have yet to really put any of her stuff inthere and still need to find something for the base of it.

I added two shelves to the side to house all of her bunny necessities..

And here is a view with the door open...

I forgot to add.. What is the best way to make ramps?

 

[Soulsgirl]

So I found some coroplast at an art supply shop.. The guy gave me a 4x8 sheet! Now to go make the bottom! :bunnydance:

I've found that my guys don't need ramps. They can hop between the levels quite well.

Looks good though!

Take more pictures when it's all done an outfitted with all the bunny stuff and the bunny!

Mine was 2 squares high and topless. Freckle got out twice, so I wentup to 3 squares. All was well for awhile, but yesterday he got out (butthe door wasn't latched properly so I figured he squeezed through) andthen again today! So I guess he climbs? So now it has a top!

i am thinking about changing herman and winnie's cage around

and i must say, chayautranch, i might be stealing your design. . . i love it. . . how cool!

my roommate just made a NIC cage for her rabbit, and went "katie, inever understood the whole NIC cage concept, but now i am addicted, iwant to go buy more pannels and keep building!"

i laughed. . .they are addicting, aren't they?

I was showing my pics of my NIC cage to somefriends last night, they thought it was the coolest thing. Isaid yeah, I'd like to know who the first person was to think of this,anyone know? Was it someone on here? Becausethey're brilliant.

Feel free I think I'm crazy... awhile back I was board at work so Istarted drawing different ideas for NICs! Even drawing "3D" pictures soI could figure out where to put supports and second levels This wasa combo of two different ideas I had, so I made it up while I built it,but had already had ideas going...

Wow wow wow wow wow wow I LOVEthese!

I want one, lol.

 

[katt]

i posted all this in my bunny blog. . . but i figured i would add them here too!

herman and winnie's NIC cage currently:

it is 3 by 2 by 3. . .(3 wide, 2 deep, 3 tall)

since herman and winnie are 10 and 6 pounds, i would normally say thisis to small for them, but they are only caged when i am not home (so 8hours a day for maybe 4 days a week) they free roam my room at night,normally sleep all cuddled with me in my bed, and therefore i think thecage is big enough

once they have done more damage to the flooring, and i need to replaceit, they are getting something very close toCheyAutRanch's cage as i am very much in love withthe design

here is another photo to show it in my bedroom:

*side note* ah ha ha ha ha if you look on my computer i have RO up! it is a constant on my computer. . . to funny

 

[Pipp]

Wow, thispage has some awesome cages!!

Here's a pen/cage set up that I saw in an Orlando paper. (I'm puttingit in the 'pens' thread, too) Great for multiple rabbits!

(And I'm stealing it without permission :hiding:but thecredit for the set up goes to Steffanie Schrader of Orlando Rabbit Careand Adoption).

I built Bunny an NIC cage recently. It is 2 deep, 3 wide, and 2 high. I used some leftover carpet from our house for the shelves. For the bottom of the cage, I used a piece of wood that had a finish on one side that is like a dry-erase board. It is easy to wipe up any spills or messes. There is a door on the top and on the front.

And then with some extra NIC panels, I built a run for outside. I supervise her while she is in it. It is very easy to collapse and store. I also put some blue ice packs if she wanted to sit on those and put a bowl of water out there. My cat had fun watching her.
