lets design a rabbit cage

Hi,

I am trying to design a rabbit cage. Lets add ideas to improve it or if it is not good lets start together from the beginning.

The cage to be kept indoor (A.C. room) and it is open from top and bottom. The cage is carried by short legs to keep it above the ground so that it is easy to clean.


Thanks.

Re: lets design a rabbit cage

So as posted above, how big are you planning it? It needs to be BIG! Did you decide what to make the floor from?

I'm sure people here can give some good suggestions. Good luck with the planning :-)

They've said that it doesn't have a bottom as its in the house so it would be on the carpet etc.
It doesnt look too big especially the closed-in area. But it can always be made bigger or the looks could be deceiving. Nice idea just for giving them a safe place to stay indoors, without the floor and everything. Wanna watch the rabbits dont decide to jump out tho.

I remember a post last week asking if they could be kept on mesh floors so this I'd why I asked. Wondered if a decision had been made. Maybe you're right Rini

Re: lets design a rabbit cage

It'd have to be really quite high to stop rabbits jumping out as the roof is open.
The sleeping compartment doesn't look very big.

Re: lets design a rabbit cage

It's a good idea though and certainly has potential as ling as it is big enough and secure. Would the rabbit have free run about time in the house too when you are around?

The dimensions in pictures are not correct, I was thinking of 120 cm length,60 width and maybe the hight is 60 cm, the close area is 30 cm length out of 120 cm,in that case the run will be 80 cm length .

maybe Terrazzo tiles which is cheaper than the marble, but no carpet no nothing. And I am thinking of cleaning them sometimes by water hose.

Re: lets design a rabbit cage

120 x cm is MUCH too small

if you dont want to let the rabbit out at all you will need a 6ft x 6ft enclosure atleast, if the rabbit were to get regular free out the cage time then a bare minimum of 6ft x 2ft would surfice IF the rabbit were in it for no more then 8 hours a day maximum
