Thanks! I definetely do NOT want her slipping or falling.

Moonlight, your condo looks like a dream house! Where do you get the coroplast? Lowe's, Home Depot or any store? How much does it cost? Is it easy to cut it to the size I want? What do you use to stick the coroplast to the condo?

I tried to build a condo earlier, the condo has no problem building, just the flooring. I need something is durable and easy to clean. I used a few containers + litter boxes to fill in the wood flooring. It didn't work well for me, my rabbit pooped and urinated every where. Everytime I have to bring all the containers + litter boxes out to clean. So I gave up the condo due to the flooring issue.

Thank you thank you for the information.

BTW, where did you buy the grid? I bought some from Target, some with bigger spacing, so I couldn't use that.

I am getting mine at costco. it's an 8 cube kit (btw, anyone know the dimensions of them?)and it's cheaper than the walmart's 4 cube set.( am I allowed to say that? I think I am. If not tell me) I'm getting any other supplies for the cage at Home Depot. Is it hard to undo the cubes? Are they easy to assemble? Do the panels COME in cubes, or do you cube them yourself? Can you just pop off a panel in a cube, or do you have to arrange the panels in a wierd way to fit it? Can ANYONE help me with DESIGNING the cage. I've tried like 5 different drawing style( 3-d was too hard, 2-d didn't CAPTURE it, it ended up looking more like sensless scribles, and the computer drawing did the smae as the 2-d. Oh wait. thats only 3. Oh well.). And I cant get play doh to WORK with me. It Takes me FOREVER to make the panels, and I can't stand it up right. Anyone else using woooden dowels for the support? Is anyone using them to hold up shelves? It look a bit like you do Moonlight wolf. Any Advice on doors? And Moolight, whats that tunnel thing? I am using the instructions given by one of those links on the Cool Habitats thing, but the house dosen't seem big enugh. Sorry to bombard you guys with all these questions, but one of the crucial things to my buns life (well at least in my eyes) is her house. I'm gonna think of more too, I just know it.

Kyoshi, t is not that hard to design and get the condo, just the flooring I am still not sure what to do with it yet. If not mistaken you are taking a baby bunny or two home? Right now I am fostering one 10 weeks old baby, she is smaller than my adult bunny, even the smaller grid that I bought from Target, her head can squeeze through. This scares me, I read somewhere either they got stuck or they are able to squeeze out. So make sure the grid is smaller enough, you won't have that problem when they grow bigger.

If starting with babies, I suggest use 2 x 2 square panels will be enough. Giving them too much space means more cleaning to do. Make sure you get bigger litter box, so when they spray, the urine won't be outside of the litter box. Now I have to clean the floor here and there for accident (urine and poop)on the tile. After your rabbits are spayed and getting bigger, you can add in more space for them by adding more panels. A smaller area is easier to litter train your rabbits too, once you think they get the idea of littler train, you are sure able to add in more spaces.

The panels can use zipties to tie together, cut off the end. If you want to take the panels off, cut off the zipties, they are off.

I am sorry I cannot offer a better help. I myself have problem figure out the flooring of the condo. The condo I built before, I used litter boxes and large container to fill in all the space in the condo. Even with that, my rabbit and the new rabbit spray everywhere. I ended up cleaning a lot of litter boxes and containers, after I just cleaned one another one has urine in it. I don't think the rabbits mind, since it is their marking, just I mind the mess. Even with the container and litter boxes, accidents outside of the protected area did happen. That's the reason I suggest starting small. My rabbit when he first came home, he sure knows how to mark his territory. After a few months settle in, now he is doing pretty good.

I hope telling you my problem cans help you out in designing the cube. Oh ya, I used a "S" hook for the opening. Good luck with your design.

Do FEMALE rabbits "spray" (What is spraying? It sounds like a male missing his mark in the litter). I'm hoping to get a female. So, you can just switch and add as you go huh? Thats cool. I'd like some more info if you guys don't mind. Whats an S hook?

look on youtube.com, there is a video how to make a rabbit/bunny condo on there by a vet & from there, is a link to his own website. trying to find it right now for you! Remember, she's going to still be a baby when you get her, so start smaller, then gradually go bigger whe she's able to be litter trained! Or you will have lots af area to clean, LOL! & definately need ramps for a lil one! HEHE! So cute!

the site is www.rabbitcondo.com

How High should I make it?

And Also, I find lots of litterboxes designed for buns are ugly looking.Any Ideas?

I've never seen that video 4Lily - it's a great video! He gives alot of good instruction and he's easy to listen too.

Anyone have the Taget "organize-it" cube demensions? Any one that does please tell me. It would help A LOT!

make sure the cubes have only 1 inch by 1 inch holes in the grids!!

Twinklie, I got the coroplast at a sign store, I found the sign store using this website:

Moonlight, would you mind answering my questions? I'd really appreciate it if you did.

Kyoshi, the Target grid is 14" x 14". I would start with 1 level first, make sure she is very litter train then expand to 3 x 2 grid, then may be introduce another level. Then keep adding when you have time and space. I think keep expanding makes the rabbit to explore out would be great too. 1 time too much space to explore may not be such a good thing for the cleaning person. LOL

The other day I added a upper bunk for my rabbits and I put a carrot there for them to discover. Twinkle, the baby discovered it and hop on it within minutes. Charlie, the bigger one, tore out the newspaper at the lower bunk, looks frustrated, may be he could smell the carrot but didn't get the taste of it. It took him a while to finally decide to hop up. It is very funny to watch their reaction.

Regarding your questions about spraying. Males and females can do this to mark their territory. They can actually spray urine over a few feet. (sort of like how cats can spray) Normally if a rabbit is neutered or spayed earlier enough, this can help prevent this from continuing. Not all rabbits will spray, but it is not uncommon for a rabbit to begin spraying when they hit sexual maturity around 3 - 6 months.

We've had members say that their bunny area is very smelly even though they clean the litter everyday. They check further and discover urine marks on the wall. (Can be clearish)

Once a rabbit is spayed/neutered it should get better if a rabbit is spraying, but for my bunny Jack who wasn't neutered for a couple of years (at least) he got into a habit and he will spray even now and he's been neutered for 6 years now. His spray is easy to spot, so I can clean it up with out a problem. So far he is the only bunny that has continued to spray. Males do typically spray more than females, but females can do it too.

Thanks ALOT! guys. Any more Advice would help to the fifth infinity.

Don't buy a rabbit litter box, most bunnies don't like them much, and always pee over the front edge. Just go with a regular rectangular cat litter box instead. My bunnies love them

I agree with Monkeybun, get a large one. I got a regular smaller rectangular one, but the pee and poop still fall out.

Sorry Kyoshi, but I didn't know what the dimensions of the cubes were so I could not answer your question! and since Twinklie's question was directed at me I felt the need to answer it.

As for the litter box I really like the one I got off binkybunny, it has a grate to prevent digging and it makes cleaning so much easier.
Also I found to keep my room cleaner I turned up the sides of the coroplast to keep the hay and poop that they had flung out of their litter box in the cage.

Oh thats cool! What is that tube though in your picture?

Thanks Moonlight, more questions. How do you clean the habitat? I believe when my rabbits in the habitat, they will sure have droppings on the upper bunks. Time over time all the flooring will sure has a lot of dust, hair etc etc, how do you clean it? Is the flooring attached to the grids? Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions. My son thinks your rabbits are living in palace. Thanks you so much!

Ok, how's this sound so far? By the sound of your advice, this is my plan.

A 2x2 base, Totaling 24" on each side, covered in Coroplast.
1 level
2 squares high

Kyoshi, sounds good to me. You can always expand the size with the growth of your rabbit. The smaller of the space the easier to litter train. Do make sure that her head cannot squeeze through the grid. My baby rabbit at 10 weeks can push her head through the small Target grid. That's why I am holding back the idea of making the condo yet. Let's just wait till she is a big bigger to squeeze through, LOL!

I just ran all over twon for the coroplast, and all the people I asked, they gave me a blank look, didn't know what I was asking for. One pointed me to this store and the other. I tried Target, Home Depot, Hobby Lobby and Staples. No luck! I came home found the cheapest coroplast online, it is uline.com. I think when I decide to go for the condo, I will get from uline. $5.40 for 10 sheets 24" x 36" or 40" x 48" for $11.15.

I am still not sure I want to go more than two levels, cleaning issue. I just can't stand to see dropping here and there, not in the litter box. Moreover, my rabbits get to go out to run in my yard and watch TV with my kids. So, they just need a decent size cage.

Good luck! And do post a picture for us after you are done! Of course, with your baby running in there.

I believe at HomeDepot, it's called Corrugated Platic Sheet, but it only comes in white. I think I'm gonna focus on creamy pinks and whites in her cage, so it'll work for me.

Kyoshi, the tube is actually a concrete former tube called a Quick Tube (I think) I got it at home depot, it is supposed to be used to mold concrete into pillar like shapes.
How big is your rabbit going to be? My condo is 3 grids by 2 grids and it is 4 grids high, I find that is sufficient for two small bunnies (3-4 pounds) 2X2 grids would probably be fine for one bunny around the same size, and as twinklie said if he/she grows then you can just reconfigure it to make it bigger.
I didn't get my coroplast at home depot but I would guess that corrugated plastic would be the same thing. When I asked if they had coroplast, the workers just looked at me strange

Twinklie, I clean my habitat just by vacuuming, the condo has a big door that goes all the way to the top (all the middle panels open) so I can just stick the hose part of the vacuum and suck everything up.
The floor is made by having a NIC grid base and I put coroplast on top of the grids which are clipped on by binder/ dog ear clips. I also used PVC piping to support the floors.
Have you checked where to find the coroplast at this site?

I am using that as a beginner for my baby. Th litter box'll take up som room though, so i might make it a 3x2. I'm doing 2 squares because I have lots of hidey places for an escaped bun. I'll be posting/taking a TON of pics. I'll hopefully have: Baby as a youngling; Baby with bros/sises; Baby with momma; Baby sleeping. I will DEFINETELY have Baby coming home; baby close-up; Baby free runnin'; Baby in cage. And some more!

Can't wait to see them! HEHE!

Me too!
