Do any bunnies here have an experience with ped beds? I’m thinking of sewing a bed for my bun, but I’m not sure if she’ll love it or hate it. She loves to dig in our chair, and she loves to sleep in one of these:
But I bought her a regular flat pet bed once and she didn’t really care for it much. It could’ve been the material, or maybe she didn’t think it was big enough? She didn’t really care to dig in it, which I thought was strange. She did a couple times for short periods and then it got a hole in it, so yeah lol… I’m thinking of using the stuffing and making her one myself.
Maybe she’d like a covered pet bed like one of these:
I bet I could combine the looks of each of these to make something she’d like. Maybe with a sturdy flat top so she could jump on top if she wants, or retreat to the cozy inside if she wants to get warm or just be alone. I’m going to make some sketches and ask her what she’d like

I have the red kitty condo like your first pic. It last about a week before my bun tore it up. lol I think it would be better to combine the look like you said. The flat pet bed isn’t something my bunny likes but I think it’s because it’s not a closed in space. They like the condo/hut type beds better. That’s a good idea you have. I’ve been thinking about doing something like that too

I have found that beds with an edge on them are what my bunnies prefer. They like to lean up against something — sort of like bed bumpers. Some bunnies will pee and chew on beds though.
The best way to test out what they will do with a bed before purchasing is to get a couple of towels (cheap ones!) and arange it sort of like the bed you were thinkng of getting. If you want to see how they like a covered bed, use a cardboard box with one entrance (as most of the covered beds for cats only have have one. That way you can see how your bunny takes to the home-made version before you spend your $$. Plus, cardboard is digestable –much easier than cloth, so it’s a good way to safely find out if they would chew it all up. -
I would have to say, don’t buy anything expensive because it will probably eventually get ruined. I got this one for 14$ and it eventually fell apart in the washing machine!
Bagheera loved it!
It was shared even too!
This bed/basket was a great find for 9$ …it’s a bed and a chew toy!This bed was 30$, I bought it to spoil Bee after her spay. It now has pee stains and a nice hole chewed in it.
My rabbits just like Bunstructing things, not actually eating them – but I do stick to bargin deals now and not 30$ beds that won’t last more than a few months.

She’s had endless amounts of those red cubes. The last time her “grandma” (haha) said she needed purple so we got her purple. You can sometimes find them at dollar stores! That’s the best find.
That bed basket is cute too! I’m never sure about getting those b/c how do you know if they are treated wood or not??? They always have those at the dollar store, lol yes, I like to find good deals at the dollar store since Bun is going to reconstruct it anyway
