  Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy. But besides a few modifications I don’t see myself changing it around too much any time soon. My hands hurt from those clippy things! Obviously I will cut wood to fit the shelves – but it is a pretty good start for under $40!

  Wow, that’s gorgeous!
  
  I can’t quite see what’s supporting the inside corner of the L-shaped platform on the second level. If you think you need a support for that corner, some folks use a dowel to prop up parts. Kind of like a column in a building only miniature.

  Thanks for the compliments! I do need more support on it – it is zip tied all the way down but I do need a column support.
  Both my kids got IN IT this morning – that was pretty funny. But umm it made me realize that I want to build it up to the ceiling and make the middle three panels a big door, then I can go in too!

  COOL! I never had much success with NIC cube cages my buns would chew the cable ties loose and get out on a regular basis so I was constantly fixing it! grr! So I made them into a really long and fold-able bunny run, wich works out great!
  I bet the person that invented the NIC cube never dreamed of all the uses we would have for them! lol

  Awesome set-up! I notice you have 2 of the “hay buffets” filled with hay. What do you think of them, do they work okay for your bunny’s hay needs?

  they are okay. Dragonfly hates them. He pulls them off – scatters his hay around and flings them aside – them glares at me taunting me to try and fill it again. So I zip tied them to the cage lol now they work fine.
  
  They were on clearance – adn the top to one of them was missing a clip so I got it for $1. Basically I jsut bought them because they were so cheap – but they serve their purpose too
