I would love to see any pictures! Also, where did you get the supplies, toys, etc?

I'm pretty proud of my cage :biggrin:

Good luck! Its a lot of fun!

 

[Melissa20104]

Did you make your cage? It looks really nice!

 

[MyBabyHasPaws]

Sure did. I used NIC cubes, zip ties, plywood, vinyl tiles & coroplast. Decorated with rugs, blankies and litter boxes everywhere. Total cost was about $100

This is what we are using right now. Hubert seems to like it, but I find it to be kind of ugly, so eventually I would like to replace it with something else.

Wow I love "MyBabyHasPaws" cage!! Great idea!

I use cages in my barn for 3 of my rabbits, and then there's a hutch for my rabbit pockets, which is outdoors, next to the barn, in the shade Good luck

We got the 3 story one on their home page. Except with steps instead of ramps. She loves it! There are more pics on my blog too, FYI.
Here is the link to the company we got ours from.
Oh FYI you can make the same cage alot cheaper we just bit the bullet and got it this way:

I peeked at your blog. She is a lucky bunny! Did the shipping cost a lot?

I think I would rather buy than build, but I'll bet my husband would prefer the opposite!

Don't be intimidated by the NIC cages. They really are easy to do. You just use zip ties to connect the grids. Here are a couple sites that show you how. But you don't have to do the floor exactly the same. You can see from the photos on this site that people have used a variety of different floorings.

This is our bun Mr. Cookie's home

Here is the cage that I built today. Here it is with the doors open.

And with the doors closed.

It is a devided 3.5x2x2. (the devidor will be taken out once the bunnies bond.)

 

[Melissa20104]

Which brings me to another question! How do you know when bunnies have bonded and are OK to be caged together?

 

[Melissa20104]

Also, where do you buy the stuff for the floor?

 

[ldoerr]

I bought a sheet of Coroplast at Home Depot. It cost $12 counting tax. It comes in sheets that are 4'x8'. I found it next to the plexy glass (that is close to the lumber section at my home depot).

Thanks for the link!
