NIC Cages Only-Now Closed

[Flashy]

Hey Trixieismyfunnybunny, I just wondered how your NIC cage was coming along, and whether you had managed to convert it to more of a hutch?

I'm not asking to niggle, just because I'm interested, and wanted to help ifI could (obviously not physically, but with any ideas or problems or anything).

 

[trixieismyfunnybunny]

well moonimoo,
we have completed the cage part! it looks really good with an upstairs and all her toys! umm, we have not done the hutch thing yet, but we might in the future. mine is really,really,really easy to move around! i dont know about anyone else's, but mine is! ya i'll try to get some pics on here of her and her new cage though!

MsBinky,
i have an outside NIC cage too and it works out just great! Yomo143's and my cage are just fine outside. Plus mine has half a top or an empty 2 squares so i can sit down in there. But, at night i cover it. Also, both our rabbits aren't very big, mine is a dwarf and yomo143's is a baby. They can't knock it down! Also, we live in huntington beach, not in the woods or anything where a bear is going to come and take it apart!
Signed,
Irie <<<<<<<I have no problem with having a NIC cage outside if that is what you choose so long as it is secure and everything,but my problem is with the repeated mention that because of where you live there is nothing that is going to get your buns. Maybe where you live a bear isnt going to get your bun, or any other animal for that matter, but other things like opposum, raccoons, and rats are things that live everywhere. People here arent saying that a bear is going to stroll up and get you but there are other wild animals that are EVERYWHERE that could be a problem. I lived in a city enviroment, row homes, and not many trees and there were still raccoons and opposums, i live in the country now and i have to watch for fox and bear and coyote so it is different but no matter where you live you are not free of wildlife.

hhaha off to make a mew cage!!!! will post pics when done!

I went to Walmarts tonight and couldnt find these. I asked the workers and they had no clue what I was talking about. What do I do? I know I have seen them there once, but forgot where I saw them. :?

 

[Spring]

Sometimes they go under different names. I know the Wal-Mart here sells the RubberMaid brand. They are usually in with the laundry baskets and closet set up stuff.

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

Im looking it up on their site and no matches.

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

FOUND THEM :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:


Their called wire storage cubes.

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

They're $15 for only 4? :?

 

[Spring]

Oh great, was just looking! They have pink too! Pixie will LOVE that!

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

I want the pink. I think Ill like the pink more than her. lol

 

[Spring]

That is a picture of them put together. They come in a package stacked together. There are 17 grids I think in a package. They can make 4 little storage areas, but you are using it for Pixies cage, so you'll maybe just need two boxes of them to make a good size cage with a shelf maybe .

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

Oh good! Will 2 boxes be enough to make a 2nd floor?

 

[Spring]

Definitely! With 2 boxes you'll have 34 cubes to work with. With that, I would make a 2 x 4 with a 1 x 4 shelf and a top. The possibilities are endless! Or you could put a sheet to make a top so you could take it off and on to climb in with her and make a 3x 4 with a shelf that runs across the side that is 4 long and maybe have a little corner shelf. OR if you want a complete second floor, you could have a 2 x 4 with a whole complete second floor with just a grid missing so she has a second level. So that would be a 2 x 4 ( 24 grids for the outside) 7 grids for the second floor and then you'd have 3 grids to play around with. Then you can justput a sheet with clipson top in case she tries to escape.

As you can tell, I love playing around with NIC grids.. hehe.

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

LoL. It sounds very fun and I cant wait to start building. :biggrin2:

You are wasting your breathe here sadly. Until this girl comes down to find an escaped or dead bunny I don't think she will listen to a word we say.
The fact that the NIC cage is "really really really easy to move around" is NOT a good thing for an outdoor home for a poor defenceless bunny. If you can move it around easy, so can a dog, or even your own rabbit -they knock it over and she is gone.

They are different in the store.

They are in the home storage area.

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

Walmart says they have it, but only online. That dont seem right.

 

[JadeIcing]

Walmart here doesn't in store.

Same with scale I bought. In store no online yes.

 

[PixieMillyMommy]

Please help me everyone. I want to be able to get it in the store since I have to buy 2 boxes. Shipping is outrageous. :? Where can I go?
