Cage Modification

2 Days To Go

After having joined a few rabbit forums and talking to people who had much more experience than I in regards to owning rabbits and housing them indoors, I found that parts of my set-up were not suitable and others that could do with some improvement.


 "Rabbits like to pee on soft things"
I have read this over and over again and I couldn't believe I had forgotten about it. So, the fleece items have been replaced with cardboard boxes which will also give him a place to hide if he gets scared.
The only downside so far is he may use them as a step and escape from the play pen.

"The rope tennis ball thing may cause issues"

With owning mice, I have been using hemp rope for a lot of things in their cages so I assumed there wouldn't be a problem with using it for Cloud. Strands of the rope may get caught and twisted up in the rabbits digestive tract causes serious potential issues.

"Rabbits tend to poop where or near where they eat"

By simply moving the hay bag to in front of the litter box, (something I haven't done yet) this should decrease the chances of him pooing outside of the litter box.
