BudgetBunny: Building Your Own Rabbit Condo

Store bought rabbit cages are expensive and nowhere near large enough for your rabbit to live in. Instead build your own cage to fully accommodate your rabbits needs. Not only will your rabbit be happier but it'll also save you a ton of money! This video provides step by step instructions to create a bunny condo from start to finish, where to find supplies and some ideas for other pets. Brought to you by BudgetBunny.ca!

Is there a chance that the rabbit will chew trow the cable tie? 

[BudgetBunny]

@booskie132 There is a chance that they will chew a few of the cable ties but there are few they'll be able to access (there are many ties like on the base of levels that the rabbits can't get at). That's why we kind of overdid it with the ties and why we cut off the extra part of the tie. As for eating them, I've never had my rabbits do that, just once in a while I'll find one on the floor of their cage.

@alessia1m Haha he's not actually my hedgehog he's my brother-in-laws but next time I'm over there I will try and get some video of him for you!

It's actually very easy! I use a shop vac to quickly vacuum up all the its and bits around the cage, I take out the litterbox, clean it and put in new litter and then spray a vinegar/water solution on the tiles, wiping them dry with paper towel. If you don't have a shop vac, you can also use a small dustpan and broom (which you can find at the dollar store) but the shop vac is quick and easiest! Takes me about 8-10 minutes a cage. :)

The great thing about these types of cages is that you can customize them! Make them larger, wider, taller, have more or less levels all depending on your rabbits needs! Although I've never seen them in Canada there are apparently too types of storage cubes. Do not use the ones where the inner spaces are greater than 1.5", especially if you'll have a smaller rabbit. They're too wide and your rabbit could get his head stuck or even worse, may be able to escape! Happy building! :)

@FlyingAlbino777 If you rabbit likes to use his litterbox that's great! Any poop that goes flying when he jumps in and out you can use a small dustpan to sweep up regularly or use a shop vac on the cage which is fast and easy if you have a messy bunny! We bought storage bins for our litterboxes but bought two and bolted the first one to the side of the cage, then sit the other one in it. Your rabbit cant move the box when jumping in and out but you can easily lift out the box for cleaning.
