  *Comment from moderator: I’ve edited this to fix the text, it had html jibberish in it.
  
  Currently the bunnies are free range. They need to go back in a cage for many reasons, our girl(Cinnabun) seems to have un-litter trained herself and pees and poops all over EVERYTHING(even my bed),they wake me up etc. For now I’m going to use our ferplast cage along with a pen. Does anyone know of any better and bigger cages?

  I recommend building one out of NIC cube grids. For the money, you will be able to build them a much bigger and better enclosure.
  
  Here’s a link to build a very basic one, that could be expanded on: http://www.bunssb.org/bunnies/perfect-cheap-bunny-cage/
  
  Here’s a bigger one, but still pretty simple (mine is similar to this): http://breyfamily.net/bunnycage.html
  
  And here’s a mansion of one! https://www.longislandrabbitrescue.org/NIC-plans.pdf

  If it was just pee I might suggest that Cinnabun could have a urinary tract infection, but with pooping out of character as well that is less likely.
  
  Im not really familiar with brands but the are some great housing ideas on the Binky Bunny page here: https://binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/GreatHabitats/tabid/229/Default.aspx
  
  Otherwise I have seen people use two-three double ferret/critter nation cages joined together side by side so it ends up being the length of two or three with two levels. Pricey though I think.

  I just noticed her age on your profile. She’s just barely old enough to be spayed. Has she been spayed yet? If not, it’s her hormones kicking in, and it’ll be difficult to train her until she is spayed. If she isn’t spayed yet, I highly suggest you keep your bunnies separate from each other at all times to avoid a fight. Bunnies don’t bond until they’ve been fixed, as hormones will start to drive her behavior and she could become aggressive towards your other bunny.
