So I am going through the NIC cage thing..
We will be getting "Sheriff"a black english lop sometime in late January or early Febuaray (He is 3 weeks I beleive and she wants to keep them until about 12 weeks) so I have been cage preparing. His house will be 4ft long (I believe thats 5 NIC cubes) and then about 25 1/2 inches wide (2 NIC cubes)
I am pretty sure that is adequate space, and the breeder agreed,but feel free to correct me.
So my thing is, I will have a total of 5 bunnies, two of which I am getting for christmas (One I already got yesterday from my boyfriend) which is a Broken Blue Holland Lop Adult Female, and a Mini Rex VM Choclate Doe baby.
I finally got my 2 Lionheads to bond through Pinballs passing (My grey lionhead was STARVING for rabbit attention and was having horrible seperation issues so I am very glad) and so it went like this,
Chewbacca has a cage that is 39 inches long (3ft and 3 inches, about 3 NIC cubes) and 25.5 inches wide (2 NIC cubes)
I last weighed her at 2.5 pounds and is adult age. Well she is now sharing that space with my little Simba who is still very young, and I believe still only a pound. Would this cage be adequate for two adult lionheads? They seem to have plenty of space still...
Then I had Simba before in a 28 in long (2 ft 4 inches, 2 NIC cubes) by 25.5 wide.Now I have the Holland Lop in there. She is adult and I don't have my scale anymore, but she is slightly bigger than Chewbacca, but wieghs a lot more. I would put her around 4 lbs. Again, this seems big enough.
Is that not large enough?And would another 28inX25in cage be large enough for the Mini Rex and adult size?
My rabbits get 3+ hours of free time also, if not more. They get free roam.
