Red face Making A Homemade Cage

Help!

I've seen Rini's lovely home made rabbit cage and i love it! I'd really like to build something similar but i'm struggling to find things the right measurements and stuff. This is my space:






(Ignore the mess, its cleaning/tidying up day )
At the moment i have 2 large hutches in the room. I want to build something that will go up the walls and under the window. I will need it to be 2 seperate cages, however if summer bonds with the others then it will be one big one. If Summer doesnt bond with the others it will be one big one when i pair her up with a new bf and they become upstairs house bunnies
I defo think i could get another level on top and if i could get 2 shelving units, the same kinda size as the hutches with 3 levels and then link both cages up with a 1 level part between the 2 under the window? that could work? With maybe a door/meshed panel that could be removed?


Im hoping for some ideas.. i hate the hutches there in at the moment as they are sooo big and bulky and it would be lovely if they had some nice light in there cage but i used the walls and some wood to make them a hide away. I have no idea where to start! Can anyone help? xx

If you're wanting it under the window, the units come in two halves both 900 high. And you can buy units that are meant for work stations/desks, so you could do it that way too

Re: Making A Homemade Cage

Just been given the go ahead from my mum that i can go over the window. The window doesnt have direct sun light coming through it as there is a wall a few feet behind in the garden so the rabbits would be okay and wouldnt be in direct sun light which would be perfect Think im going to get three units and make all along that wall a giant rabbit cage x

TBH if you use the unit idea the back will just have wire over it so you will see right through the cage and the bunnies will get a pad with a view XD haha
