By the looks of the image above it should be more than fine for two bunnies during the day when im not home? I may use a piece of wood to add a 2nd floor half way up later down the track.
 
That looks like the size of the one i made for my three boys. They were fine most of the time, just on occasions someone would cross a line and they would fight in that small space.
 
I have something like that myself and personally I find I would prefer it a bit larger for Sox (Dwarf x) as she likes to play with empty boxes and with boxes inside, sure lack of room.But way better than being caged inside a hutch all day. Mine looks bigger though and can be made into all sorts of shapes.

Becareful with the gaps, looks kinda like mine and Sox managed to squeeze through it at 8 weeks of age (don't know about now though) so I've had to put plastic chicken wire on the outside.

A lot of the pet shops and City Farmers and Better Pets & Gardens sells these. May be easier to judge to visit these shops than to buy online.

Cheers, Carol




 
What you mean someone would cross the line?
You had 3 boys bonded together?

Usually fights would start around feeding time and would only last for a lap around the cage.

I have four now. they are doing well. the youngest is only 3 months, the oldest is almost a year now.

Depends on the individual rabbit. I have intact males that will fight with everyone, males that will fight but only with certain males, males that get along with most others, males that run away or submit if confronted, 2 males that are always together but also spray and mount each other (don't know if I would consider that bonded.) Some males get along until there's a female around.

BTW if you add a second level you may want to also add a cover because it's an easy hop for some rabbits to go out of the pen.
 
Ahh thats good advice, well i have to get this new pen first! Exciting times! It'll be arriving in the next few days!
