cage

[sharonb1515]

Ok . So my holland lop has a decent size wire bottom cage. It has a litter box in one end and a piece of tile in the other. She uses the litter box as her bed haha. She drops pellets in the part of the cage with the wire exposed so everything goes into the pan. I just feel like its so small (even though she is small). I was looking at some cages online that are a little longer and a little wider. They also have the multiple levels with the ramps. I was wondering if anyone else has one of these and if their bunny likes it.

maybe if you were able to offer a link or at least the dimensions of the cages you're looking at we may be better able to help you. What is her current cages dimensions?

I agree, we need a link. Something that you could make for MUCH cheaper (store bought cages cost a rediculus amount) is a NIC cage also known as a C&C cage. You can make it however big you want and it will most likely cost you under $60 (and that is being generous with the $).

Most store bought cages are too small for rabbits....even little breeds like Hollands. I agree with Lauren to look into NIC cages or c&c cages. It gives you much more space for your bun at a better price.

Don't use cages with any of my five house rabbits, from my little two pound Polish to my sixteen pound Flemish. I use exercise pens. They are portable, easy to clean, just fold them open and sweep. None of mine jump out, they come in several heights. More than one can be put together to enlarge a space.

info on NIC/C&C cages (these and/or x-pens are by far the BEST indoor cage options):

best deal on grids for the cages: http://www.sears.com/stor-floor-sta...p-00913332000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

if you want to use a pen or two instead (or attach them to a NIC condo to provide a run), this is the best deal I've found - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H8YTJI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 (if the price shown is > $34, you might wait to buy it - the price always goes back down to that soon enough). if you want something larger than 30'' tall, I got two 48'' pens so I could put big cardboard boxes and stuff in their pen - http://www.petco.com/Shop/Product.aspx?sku=31313

Thanks for the link to the grids Jennifer. I could not seem to find them on their website lately.
