Bunny Cages 101

A cage for bunny is her own little private space. Whether she spends only short amounts of time in it or is in it for longer, you need to know somethings about cages for bun.

Bunny Cages:
.It doesn't matter if bunny is a Flemish Giant or a Netherland Dwarf, she's gonna need a pretty decent sized cage. With at least 3 levels, 3 feet wide and longways, and 3inches of room above her head when she sits up. Some great ideas for a large cage for bunny is to make a bunny condo (great ideas on the internet), or an indoor bunny pen (also great ideas on the internet). 
.Never get a cage with wire flooring. Wire flooring can cause sore hocks (very painful), torn nails, and just a very uncomfortable place to be. (Would you be comfortable walking around your house on wire flooring)?
.Just because you have a big cage for bunny does not mean she lives in it all day. Bunny proof your house so that bunny can have some playtime outside her cage. (Don't you like to leave your house every now and then)?
.As bunny gets older you may want to add ramps so she can get to other levels more easily. Also, make sure the flooring is not super slick. 

Below are pictures of a bunny condo I made. Mind you, I lived in a very small condo when I first made this. So you can still have a bunny condo even in a small space. 

The green litter box on the bottom is the base to
Snowberry's old cage.

This is the bunny condo I now use for Rhosgobel.
I do not have pics of him in it yet.
