NIC Condos

[Lightchick]

Hey, someone help me out…I’m a newbie to condos! Robbie’s going to eventually share Lizzy’s hutch/pen setup, but Thumper and Flower are still stuck in cages… What are those things called that you make the condos out of? And did we determine that Target no longer has the kind we need for bunny homes? I tried going to the Target website, digging through the storage/shelving pages, and doing a search for “NIC”, and turned up nothing… Thanks guys!

Hi Lightchick!  I think that the search function is not working right now and that reminds me that I was going to e-mail BB about it.  Target call them Neat Idea Cubes and a word of caution is that they have recently changed them so that you get a large quantity that have 3″ grids which work O.K. for the floors but will not work for the sides of a NIC condo for your rabbit.  Look at the box CAREFULLY and see if you can’t find any of the old stock where the panels are all of the same smaller size.  Walmart also carries them I hear so it would be good to look there as well.  A key word to search by is “wire cube storage.”

Walmart is demonstrating in this link that the panels are all of uniform size ideal for NIC condo building:

Of course I have to add links here (hee hee) of previous discussions on the art of NIC condo building:

I am so embarassed that I am not even going to talk about the horrible typo I just made. The “d” is just way too close to the “s” on the keyboard…

[Lightchick]

Excellent! This’ll keep me busy for a while! Thanks, once again, for such a thorough response, Scarlet Rose!

do check out the BB cools habitats page also. i’m sure Scarlet posted the link. if the BF is low on space, he can build up 3 or even 4 stories which helps a great deal.

Ok, I’m not following that typo comment 😮 huh??

[Lightchick]

Yeah, I didn’t understand the typo comment, either! I figured Scarlet Rose is just so smart that only SHE could see her own mistake!

Will definitely go back to the cool habitats page…I have been there before, but I’ll need to squint close to see how they’re constructed…I wish I could see one in person! Thumper would LOVE a 3 story condo! Probably he’d go flying up and down it constantly and drive the BF batty with the noise–but then he already does that in his cage!

ok you have to tell us your typo lol

[Alicia Conklin]

Ok I can’t find the typo either and now it’s going to drive me nuts because I’m ….well..nuts!

[Scarlet_Rose]

I fixed the typo. It was with the word add, I typed S’s where the D’s should be. Yikes.
