This is Chive's new cage! Made of NIC Cubes with Ceramic Tiles and Coroplast for the bottom. I absolutely LOVE this design! Still need a few more zip ties and cube panels, but 98% completed. Love the underneath storage! Can't wait to get the bins.

The underneath storage is a GREAT idea! I may have to redo my cage now!

It is definitely space saving in my small animal room! You could always make it double the width, because it is narrow, but since she is so small it works for Chive. It's only one storage grid wide.

Dusky's updated C&C set up (still more to update)

and his extended pen

Hutch for two. The Plexiglass windows are detachable, used for high winds and sideways rain. We used a nontoxic wood sealer that came out kind of splotchy on the siding. Oh well!

It's been the same setup since 2011, but thought I'd post Gus and Pepper's setup:

The only thing I'm thinking of changing is getting a litter box big enough so they can both sit in it together and munch hay.

I keep my Mini Lops in the house with me in these enclosures!

You've all inspired me to redo my cage for my boys. Ours is quote big, but it makes me feel like I should take it all apart and rebuild it nicer.

Do you guys have any good idea on how I could create a bottom with a small edge, on the outside of the cage so that it will help keep litter and poop inside the cage better?

I don't have access to any tools to cut up custom pieces of wood to crest a bottom and small edge, and I don't know what else to use.

Any ideas?

I use coroplast for the bottoms, you can get it at most hardware stores, a 4X8ft sheet is about $20 at Rona. It can be easily cut with an xacto knife and duct tape is too to hold it together. It can be easily chewed, but I have found some hard plastic J moulding that works well to cover the edges. If you make it so the edge is outside the grids, you should not need to worry about chewing.

I posted mine on individual pages but will put it here so it is all together.

My bun is a neutered male who is 6lbs.

This is his night time cage which resides in my daughters bedroom. He does not chew anyting so I was able to make the steps out of cardboard. The second level was made with he divider that came with the dog crate. I zip tied everything just to make sure it was secure. The very top is dedicated to the cat and supplies (as you can see the cat is obsessed with Spot).

This is Spot's daytime pen. He is in here when we is not having supervised free roam time. I obviously used nic grids to make a gate and 2 level condo. The entire left side structure easily lifts out of the area for cleaning. The right side of the gate is zip tied to the banister. I have a plastic banister guard to keep him from jumping off the landing (although he does not jump....)

again, the cat just can't get enough of him!

Not a very good picture, but I just rebuild their house last night. Litter boxes are on the main level. We are also in the middle of moving, so they are currently in moms basement until we move into the new house.

my husband worked really hard with some help from hired help on certain projects to get our Bunny House up and running this past summer. Our house isn't big enough for all our buns and since our house it completely paid for we don't plan on moving anytime soon so we built our babies a home that will stay with us forever <3

The last photo is our office, we have our bun Guido or Monkey as I call him often. He is the smallest of out babies and he loves his condo.

A little info about our Bunny House. It is a 10x16 building, completely insulated, heating and cooling, hardwood floors...the best for my babies

Gaah!! Don't let my girls see that! They don't need to know that they could be even more spoiled than they already are! If they see your post, the next thing I know, they're going to be wanting to know where THEIR bunny house is ><

Very impressive bunny house, I love the various condo designs! As a note, I see a naughty little bunny in the very last picture, hehe... looks like someone's about to nom something they shouldn't (but then, aren't they always?)

 

[aimeedotson]

as requested this is the outside....

the last photo of the office shows Guido in the courner..he is an awesome bun He likes to chin EVERYTHING but has not bitten into anything so far

 

[pani]

Dang! My bun Felix has roam of the living room and has a hutch for night or when he's not being supervised, but that's absolutely nothing compared to a whole bunny house! Very impressive. :}

 

[aimeedotson]

thank you <3 my husband worked hard on it. We hired someone to do the electricity, and drywall but hubby did the rest. I've had rabbits for 10 years and I would have never thought I would be able to do something like this for them but with my hubbys help he made it happen.

 

[Imbrium]

It's very impressive! He really did an excellent job. Makes me wonder if I might someday be able to do something like that for my sugar gliders, hehe (perhaps by renovating the shed to be climate controlled/insulated and wired). I've got a lot to learn about building whatnot before I tackle something like that, though.

This is Blossoms cage it is just an X pen with a long runner mat for the floor, simple and easy to move around/ clean!

Love everyone's cages on here, so creative

Original NIC condo (pic is from before I upgraded to 48'' playpens):

NIC condo I made after we came to Houston:

(both condos provide 24/7 access to a run area (64 square feet in Houston, about 120 square feet in SA), since my brats can't be trusted to free-range)
