New bunny + DIY cage

Jimmy and I had been discussing getting a bunny when we still lived in Jackson, but our apartment was too small to have a big enough cage that I would be comfortable with. Now that we've moved we have the space for a large DIY cage.

Decide how large you want your cage! We did 2x2x4. We connected the panels together using the included connector pieces, but many instructions I've seen online use zip ties. We only used the zip ties for the cage door on one of the ends to make it easily opened. It was more of a pain to use the connectors, but we felt it created a much more stable enclosure.


For the door we used zip ties along one side and 4 bolt snap clips (2 along top, 2 along opposite side of zip ties) to keep it closed. We set the cage on top of floor runners that certainly did not end well! I'd recommend using some sort of easily cleaned flooring underneath. Something they can not end up destroying! I thought about buying a sheet of cheap vinyl flooring.

In the end we had two extra panels that we considered setting up across one side with a dowel underneath and some sort of surface on top to create an extra level that he could jump up on, but we decided against it because he wasn't fully grown at the time and we didn't want to risk him hurting himself.

Rabbit cage... or dog cage?

Now onto bunny photos!
