Rabbit-y Success!

[senashenta]

I'm almost done the new rabbit cage! ^_^ I just have two shelves and half the roof to finish (but I'm out of zip ties), but it's done enough that I moved Phoenix and Pauper in anyway. ^^ They really like it... but the first thing Phoenix did was dig in the litter box and throw the clean litter all over the place... >^-^;; Oh well...

Eventually, I plan to move Phantom in with them, but because she's so territory-conscious, I'm going to leave the other two in the big cage for a while before I put Phantom in, too. ^^; To help avoid big fights and stuff...

Ack! Picture! X3



EDIT: Aren't those mats ugly? They were the only grass mats I could find that were affordable and didn't have snowmen on them. WTF, snowmen? It's almost July! XD

Cool! Do the sections support each other well? I bought a UK version of C+C (sold in shops as DIY shelving!) but I didn't find them very stable, unless I'm doing something wrong. At the moment they're finding use as a Guinea pig pen though...

You have to use doweling (or something similar) to support them. ^^ I found thick stuff at the Canadian Tire (it's a catch-all building/contracting/etc. type store) that was 1+1/8 x 36 (inches), which worked really well. There's two under the shelf in this pic (zip-tied in place, not that you can see them), and there'll be some under the other shelves and the roof when I get the ties to finish them. =3

Right now Phoenix and Pauper are both puttering around on the shelf, and it's not even bending at all. :)

The cage itself is very stable, but it was quite wobby until I got the bottom and most of the top put on. The shelves also help to stabilize it, once they're in correctly. ^^
