I'm building my bunny condo! I just finished the third floor last night. I will take some more specific pics of it next time I work on it. Franz has been in the bunny room for a few days now! Also I have the bed I got off of the binkybunny site and he doesn't nibble or potty on it so it's great! He looks cozy in it. Here are some pics of the bunny room. The only thing for humans is this big metal storage cart that bunny can't get in and also a folded uncured wooden drying rack I don't care if he chews on lol.  I put paper on one end of the room cause he's still being potty trained



You can see part of the condo when I first started it:

Midnight, can you tell me what flooring you used in your condo? I kind of like the design of your condo a bit better than what I'm doing. I am planning on using cheap grass mats (peters seagrass) attached with twine through drilled holes in plywood which I am having cut for the levels. I think my dowel rods are too small... They're 1/2" but I an use my 75lb zipties to hold them up. I tested it and it works! Not super solid but I did some stress tests and I think it would ve good for even a Flemish giant. I'm thinking the plywood is not such a good idea anymore because of the peeing thing. I still have time to change my mind! Does coroplast have good traction? I'm mostly worried about traction. My other idea is carpet velcroed on the plywood. Can't decide!

These are amazing! I have a spare room that's too small to be used as a room and I'm currently using it as a storage room for suitcases and old books etc. I think it'd make a great bunny room for me to leave her in when I go back to work. I'm gonna clean it out next week and take pictures and see what you guys think?

Sounds like a good idea --- how big is it? Does it have any windows/ventilation?

Ah. No. It doesn't actually. It's like a giant walk in wardrobe is the best way to describe it. I wouldn't be worried about the heat though, it never gets over 20c here. Would that be a problem?

 

I'll take pictures when I've cleaned it out tomorrow and show you!

I just got my bunny today and already have a room for it. it is the entire upstairs, you see my house was at one time a barn until remodeled it has a kitchen and living room down stairs and upstairs is the bedroom with a bath and toilet. but I did some baby proofing wks ago and put a gate up at the top of the stairs since my little man is going to be turning 1 next month. So basically all I have to do i put the bunny in and close the gate. I also plan on building a room outside for my bunny as well, I will get pics as soon as I can.

it is not all the way clean yet but I do need to know if I need to get power cords off the floor, just incase the bunny decides to chew into one.

im sooo excited!!! i am moving in june and my buns are going to get a room all to their own and i am going to put a chair and table in there for me, if they are ok with it of course so i can sit with them and read. the room isnt the biggest, 10x12 with very appropriate green walls, and 2 windows as well as a ceiling fan but i think they will love it!!!! right now they are in an x-pen and i am thinking about adopting a bun from the rabbit rescue. i have just fallen inlove with one they have there and well, doesnt hurt to inquire.....right??

the only problem is that the floor is carpet, and atticus is notorious for destroying carpet so i was wondering if anyone has any cost effictive ideas to cover the carpet to protect it and to make the floor easy to clean? i am going to round the room with some x-pens to protect the walls and baseboards and would like to have something that can be folded up the xpen on the inside so their poops that dont make it to the litter box stays in their area and not between the xpen and the baseboards. any at all?

new1bunny, yes please do move the cords out of the way, it can be very dangerous for a bunny to chew an electrical wire. Also, it can cost a lot of money to replace chewed wires.

Please read this link about bunny-proofing your bunny room: http://www.binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO...fault.aspx

That is one amazing bunny condo!  How many storage cubes, ties, et cetera did it take to create?

I am planning on starting my bunny room today! I live in an open studio that is just too big for Emily to roam around while I am at work so I am going to use part of her x-pen to make a large "room" and it will be all hers so I do not have to worry so much about cords and he needing out of her cage at 5am! :/ maybe she will let me sleep a little longer so its a revamp of the house this weekend!

My question what are the main things I should have in my bunny room and how do you keep hay from getting all over we have concrete floors so I need to keep it somewhat clean or it ends up everywhere! I think I will buy rugs to put down that are very low pile. She will still get to run around but only when I am home I think that will help me feel like she is safe while I am at work! You guys are all wonderful and I am so jealous of some of your bunny rooms!

My living room has become a bunny room.
There are only 2 chairs and everything else in the room is for the bunnies. Did not really plan it that way . . . but . . .

I would love to have a dedicated bunny room... oh, wait, what am I saying... my living room and bedroom are the bunny rooms now. 

But seriously, I would love to have a bunny room made to order, so to speak.  It would have the perfect hay storage containment system, for starters...  And an employee to clean it up .

Moonlight_Wolf, how is the world did you get that so stable and what kind of flooring do you have down??? My BF and I are in the process of attempting to rebuild another bunny condo (because our first one seemed to be a fail)... so we're looking for great ideas and yours looks pretty great!

Hey Tanlover! Sorry for taking so long to reply to you, The flooring I have is called coroplast, and its actually used to make signs. And to make the cage stable i did criss cross zip ties, like an x every place that I put one. I had chapped hands afterwards but the cage is not sagging at all. I really like the way it all turned out, If you have any more questions i would be more than happy to answer them!

Thanks so much! We actually finally built the condo last night (w/ zip ties) and it seems pretty sturdy but the X thing is an awesome idea so I'm going to do that idea on all of them just for extra security. Yeah -- my hands were definitely chapped after last night and we used a lighter to make the ends of them not sharp and I'm pretty sure I burnt half my fingers off for doing it. Major bunny slave moment right there.

Also, I just realized you're from Pittsford, NY? As in Rochester, NY???!? I went to school in Brockport and until a year ago lived in Rochester!!! I grew up in the Southern Tier though -- near Dansville, a small town called Arkport. That's so interesting to see someone else from that area on here!

Here are pictures of my bunny room - I am not that pleased with it. I think it is a bad compromise of wanting to give the bunnies a stimulating room of their own and wanting a room that looks nice and pleasing to the eye, and that I want to spend time in as well.

Overview of the room

Their houses
I try to make sure that they have fresh twigs each week as well as a cardboard box.

Toilet area

When I had four rabbits living here, at least two of them had a tendency to spray when jumping out of the toilet.
So I put these tiles on the wall to protect the wall from urine. They are from ikea.

Karl - making a mess

Fresh herbs available

I am doing an experiment to see if I can have fresh herbs available all the time. I really want the bunnies
to sense and taste fresh herbs - I think it is important when they cannot be in their natural habitat.

I am trying out to find herbs that can last longer than a few minutes.

And these are the miserable results of my experiment

These are the herbs that tasted too good and couldn't survive on the floor. It doesn't look too good having almost dead plants in the window sill, but hopefully a bit of bunny poop will bring them back to life

Cool, what ideas did you get? I'd love to hear them. I could definitely need some tips on making the bunny room more exciting, so perhaps the inspiration you got might actually make me come up with new ideas for the room.

I liked how you had the fresh herbs and it reminded me of something on pinterest! So I want to do something similar using wheat grass like in this photo. Then when it is ready, let them munch away! Since it is wheat grass and grows very fast they can destroy it and I can just plant more! I think I found a good website at one point for like organic seeds or something.... anyways. You plant one container a day so that by the time one is eaten, then next is ready!



I Like the tile idea because somehow my rabbits get pee and poop 3 feet up on the wall (LOL) and they often pee next to their box. So I was thinking I could maybe do something like that only have maybe 3 walls with tile (make another wall out of wood) and tile the floor. It might be easier to get pee cleaned up then on linoleum. Not completely sure though! Random note, I just got back from Ikea! sorry I kind of just crashed this thread, but I hope you guys will except my apology if I promise to post pictures of my bunny room when its finished! I could post some now I guess... Just not "exactly" how I want it yet.

I really like that idea of yours! I will copy that as well! So cool. I can't wait to see your bunny room.

The tiles I have used from Ikea are in fact just noticeboards http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10114874/
