  Hi, recently one of my rabbits passed away (she was 12!), but my second bunny, Chloe, is still young and hopping and I think its time for a change of scenery. She has a standard house, but I let her out constantly. I have a small space to build a rabbit house (I was thinking NIC?) and I need some ideas/help building one. A lot of the youtube videos are old videos (aka Binky Bunny and 101Rabbits). Any help would be great– thanks!

  NIC cages are great. There are lots of newer websites and videos showing how to build one:

  Or you could use an xpen:

  Hope that helped. Good luck!

  I like using C&C cages. I bought one of the cages for my buns, but they have the grids and connectors for sale too so you can make your own custom pen/area

  There’s lots of info out there on this, you can check out posts I made in a thread from when I built my NIC cage, I posted pictures with updates on most of the steps. Starts about halfway down the page here: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/showthread.php?t=73547&page=39

  I used a set of NIC grids to make a fence. Anyways, I had to use it as a makeshift cage, so I connected the ends with binder rings (all temporary), and put a lid on it. I realised that if I’d attached a second boxful of grids to my current fence, I could’ve had a nice sized cage, and used tarp or lino for the flooring, and chucked a couple of mats in there. That’s another alternative. I like height in my cages, so that’s why I prefer the fence option. I also have a rabbit who likes to jump.
