I was recently given another bunny I was not expecting to have.  My current lop, Luna, is not yet spayed (bringing her to the vet soon to get an idea for when she can be), and is in a 4X4′ X-Pen with linoleum floors when I’m not home, and given free range of my room when I am home…the other bun is just in the ‘starter cage’ we got because she kept slipping out of the X-Pen we had for her (she’s itty bitty) and just really causing issues tbh.  The cage was the largest we could find in this county and the county over (we live in the middle of nowhere and there aren’t really any small pet stores…just feed stores for your horses and livestock, and then Tractor Supply), which isn’t saying much because it is really small   Nymph (the other bun) is not spayed either, but I think she’s a decent bit younger than Luna so it will be a bit before we could even attempt bonding them.

Now, since I was not planning on having another bun yet I do NOT have room for another X-Pen, even if Nymph couldn’t fit through the slats.  I have a medium sized dog, his very large dog bed, Luna’s cage, a queen sized bed, two bookshelves (with more to be bought soon because I’m sick of chasing bunnies away from chewing on my stacked books ?), bunny supplies, whatever horse junk I have in my room for repair, my easel, a guitar and violin with music stand, and a few other things already in a fairly small room.  Both Luna and Nymph are pretty cool with having their cages ‘share walls’ (they sniff each other and kind of hang out next to each other), so I’d like to try to make a NIC cube condo or something of that sort in the area next to Luna’s pen, but I was wondering if it would be big enough?  She gets out to hang around the room when Luna’s up (plus I may be building an NIC cube ‘wall’ that can go into my closet when not in use to split my room in half for them during part of the day), and when I leave with my dog I put her in the bathroom to chill and run around…But here are some pictures (It would have to be built around the easel since I don’t have anywhere else to put the easel)

Here is an ‘overview’ of the spot I would like to put it (and the only free spot in my entire room currently…and it wouldn’t be too terribly hard to build around the easel I just found out…I could just put it in the closet and store it when I’m not using it…but I use it a lot and that would be complete pain to have to take it in and out every day…also, where would I put it when it was out?  )

A close up of the spot (the tape measure reads 48 inches…the light’s just crud right now)

Another close up…this one of the back wall.  It’s 57in till where the wall ‘balloons out’ to 48in and a good 20in of flat wall space where it is 48in to the edge of Luna’s pen

48in…but it will actually come out a bit past this

And another picture of the width (48in)

What do y’all think?  Will it work till I can get them both spayed and bonded?  Unfortunately there is no where else in my room to put her unless I put her on the far side of my bed…but that wouldn’t work either because it’s only about a foot of space.  If Lex wasn’t my sister I would be killing her for putting my poor brain through so much work ?  I’m also contemplating calling either my engineer uncle or grandpa, or my grandfather who’s a general contractor in FL…or possibly even my architectural engineer major cousin to find a solution ???  Would that work for now?  Or even slightly long term since it may be a bit till Nymph is even OLD enough to be spayed?  Also, how would y’all recommend going about making this?  With NIC cubes?  Should I just cut the cubes into the shapes I need?  How would I make the pieces so they weren’t sharp?
