want to build new cage(indoor)

[misbehaveqt1]

I want to build a newq cage that is to go in my room. I want one a little on the bigger side because i have 2 bunnies that are pretty big(mated pair).Im not sure what type of cage i want but i have a whole wood working shop to work with if need be give me some idedas or blue prints or soemthing. i dont want to spend to much because my colt is taking most of my money at the moment. The are not 100% littered trained because most of the males life he was unfixed and the female is still not. So i do need to put something down that is easy to clean and deodorize.

Is the male neutered right now?


I would build a NIC cage and make a chloroplast base. You can search "NIC" on this forum. There is a thread in the photo files section .

You can do this all under $50, easily.

this is the cage we just built.

its no where near finished stil has no floors and no pads and no ramps but its partially done. 1/2 is 3 storys high and 1/2 is 2 storys high

does it look big enough for 2?

It looks big enough to me.

Remember to reinforce your shelfs with zip-ties and wooden rods.

Bunnies really jump around and can easily knock those shelfs down.

As far as I understand it the female is not fixed? Is that right?

oh yah i know, i ran out though last night so i have to go get more.

No she's not fixed.

If they are together, she could still get pregnant. The males sperm can live up to 6 weeks after neutering.

 

[misbehaveqt1]

he's been neutered for almost a year. i know that i kept them separate for 2 months

 

[Phinnsmommy]

Ohh okay. Just making sure .

it's not done yet i havent added all the chew toys and hay racks but this is the cage i built for my two bunnies. they seem to like it alot still figuring everything out and my cat is just loving to watch them play. lol how does it look

the pictures are blurry sorry i have to get a new camera but this will do for now

my bunnies slipped on the tile and wood so i put down mats (kinda like yoga mats) i LOVE them if the bunnies have a accident i just take a vacuum and its all gone. its so easy to clean. and they dont seem to chew on it but i use like 3 packets of zip ties to hold the edges down

It looks cool! Your cat looks pretty happy chilling out on the side too :biggrin2:.

 

[misbehaveqt1]

the black thing in the bottom is like a tray i built and spray painted it. it has wheels on it so i can mop it. Is there anything i should change?
