Well…a play house or kiddy gym really. Similar to this pic.
I got it 2nd hand at a charity store. I reckon they retail new upward of $150 but I paid $50. Probably lot $$ for bunny stuff but I figure it supports the charity so….at least that’s how I justified it. I was with my 3 yr old nephew who had fun demolishing it with me to fit it in the car. All the ladies in the store kept saying how lucky he was – assuming the cubby was for him.
We had to keep it a secret – hehe! I did feel a bit guilty though, depriving some other kid of a affordable play house.The one I got a is bit more shabby, I think it adds character and the scratches will give make it more non slip. It has a roof & the slide is reversible so can be stairs also. It has 2 shelves inside too. I plan to use it as a hay bay of sorts. They like to eat it off the floor and I’m having trouble keeping the mess contained so hopefully this help. I just made them a 4 box cardboard cubby this week but I’m sure it’d be in ruins before too long. I’ll take that out and give them this instead. Hope they approve.

haha! A Mansion? Really?……….I can just imagine following them from floor to floor with my little red dustpan & broom. I’d have to hire servants.
I have pics of just the play house thingy minus the buns(
). I got video of them but I’m having trouble at mo. It was really low light and looks crappy. I’ll try get better pics of them with it in the morning. It looks like a McDonalds playground! lol They’re curious enough about it…a bit overwhelmed I guess, with this contraption in the space. They did run in and out the bottom part a few times but haven’t discovered how to jump up yet. I put Jersey up there and she did try out the bridge. Truthfully, they were more interested in their evening pellets. After those, Rumball retreated to the cardboard cubby and Jersey went and did some terri-poops in the living room.
So I’ll let them suss it out at their own pace.
I put it this way first, stairs became a bridge Then turned it round. Not sure which way to have it yet.
I promise, pics soon of the the buns+house Gotta call it a day for now…

So…..ahem, it’s been near 2 weeks since I got this thingo and well it’s pretty well been snubbed. Not the hit I thought it would be. Today, the buns were let outside after been kept in for 2 days due to weather, so today, they decided it was “alright i guess”. I put it outside fairly quickly as when it was in their bunny space, they’d just go in the bottom part and pee. *SIGH*
I have a few pics from today. They mainly were running about the bottom of it but I actually put Jersey on it to encourage her more. So there’s more pics of Jers but I’m not playing favourites I promise! I also have some true “watching grass grow” vids that I’ll add soon. So anyone considering getting something like this – don’t spend too many $$! The upside for me is my 1yr old nephew will probably enjoy it. Maybe I need to make it more interesting for the buns (like edible!).
“Rumballo, Rumballo – where for art thou Rumballo?”

Good idea! Oh I bet they’ll love that. And no I dont think its too over the top (for bunny slaves), you know 90% of us want one now lol. If only I could get rid of my dresser, id get them one and put it there. 
WOW
