  Hey everyone, thanks to markbun I now own nic cubes! Yay!! I wanted to attach these to their exsisting x pens so we can give them levels and more space. Anyone have any tips on how this is easily done? also, do you need to reinforce under the nic cubs (for second levels) with long pieces of wood or are they pretty solid on their own. I plan to top the cubes with carboard so the bunnies feet don’t go through the holes. I’ve been through the gallery of pics and they are amazing. So any tips and best practices are appreciated!!!

  Did you see The Rabbit Haven videos? This shows xpen with nic condo added. http://www.youtube.com/watch
  
  There’s also another video that shows the xpen set up. You would need to reinforce the base before you build up with NIC grids.

  You probably would need wood under the shelves, or else they will droop. I used PVC piping instead of wood.
  
  The best way to zip tye the NIC panels together is to form an X when zip tying. You overlap the zip tyes. It is kind of hard to explain.
  
  Um… The only Idea I can think of to extend your pen would be to just make a condo out of the NIC panels (if you have enough cubes) and attach your pen to the condo – that is my setup. Or you could just make your NIC panels into a Pen like thing and just make a bigger pen ( I like the first Idea better though).
  
  I don’t know if this would work but you could make part of your pen into a rectangle (With an opening on the side) and attach NIC panels to the bottom to keep it in the shape of a rectangle. and then you could add shelves to that as if it were a condo skeleton! Sorry if my explaining does not make sense, but just experiment with things. The beauty of NIC cubes is that you can take them apart and rearrange if needed! just be sure to buy a bag of 1000 zip tyes – I used more than that for my cage (only like 30 more though).
  
  Good luck!
