Would this Cage/kennel Housing Set-Up work?

[Kaylee R.]

Hi! I’m wanting to adopt these 2 bonded rabbits. Their current owner is including their all cages/accessories with them (at no charge, which is Amazing and great, as all this stuff is worth a lot of money.

I was wondering if this housing set-up would work for them. (These are pics that the current owner took.)

Below is their cage/kennel. It’s very large - (I think it’s almost the largest dog kennel you can buy) and she customized it with 3 levels and it’s big enough that the rabbits can stand up, etc. I would also most likely attach the wire playpen (see second pic below) to it, so that they’d have more room. I would keep them in that at night and when I wasn’t home. When I’m home, I’d probably let them have the run of most the living room/dinging room area (rabbit-proofed area of course.)

(Note: I think the owner had just cleaned out the cage/kennel, which is why the hay and toys were missing.)

Here’s the playpen I would attach to the cage.

Also, the owner has this large, beautiful 2 story hutch (there is a ramp from the first level, but it was missing for the pic), that she lets the rabbits out in on nice days and when someones home to watch them. She also has the large wooden playpen, that you can attach to the hutch for extra room (see second pic below.)

(The rabbits in the pic below are the actual rabbits, I’m wanting to adopt.)

I think she might also include this triangle hutch, just as an extra one.

The lady is so nice to be willing to give me all this wonderful stuff and the 2 rabbits at no charge. It’s such an amazing deal and on top of that, you get what sound like 2 amazing rabbits (Fully litter trained, spayed/neutered, bonded, very friendly/tame, etc.)

So, let me know what you guys thinnk. Do you think this would be a good set-up for these 2 rabbits?

All answers greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I think that sounds like a great set-up! Looking at the cage, I have a concern: the levels don’t overlap, which could pose a risk to the bunnies if they fell. You might be able to extend the levels to allow a little bit more space and prevent a straight drop. I do not think the cage is large enough for two rabbits, but with the addition of a permanent xpen space, that would work well.

Sweet rabbits! I agree, the cage is much too small for large rabbits like this by itself – attaching the pen is going to be a must. As you can see from that cage, you cannot fit in a litter box and 2 rabbits – they would be cramped and unhappy.

I also don’t think those levels look very secure and would allow the rabbits to stand up on their hind legs at a comfortable height. i would take the levels out and attach the pen as part of the permanent home or just use the pen.

The cages are great the dog crate and exercise pen. I hope you are keeping your rabbits indoors. Rabbits are much better indoors. My bun is currently in an exercise pen and absoultely loves it.
