Hey everyone!!

I think it would be a great idea to get a thread going with pics of everyones bunny condos/living area/room where there bunny lives.  I think this would be great to do for people who need new ideas for there bunny condo or just for people to see and enjoy.  

Heres my buns condo, it is 3 grids long by 2 grids wide and 3 grids high with a bottom, middle and top level! 

* i also have an outdoor hutch for him that i put him out in on days that im outside doing stuff like swimming or working in the yard. Note: it is in a shady spot and in my dog pen away from other animals and hes only out for a few hours max.

Awesome 3 levels. Thats a great setup. My buns just have big rectangle condos. Not very exciting. I tried to come up with some ideas for levels but I think they would chew any materials Id use.

Bunjamin is a spoiled only-bunny and he has to travel with me to my parents house often so he has TWO condos. They're basically identical though. And he now has a pen (thank you parents for the awesome bday gift) at my parents house because he's now upstairs and he wouldn't get as much out-of-condo time without it

His condo at my house (this pic also shows "his" closet/room):


His condo at my parents house (before moved upstairs)


This is the best pic I could get of his pen. It's twice the size of what you see in the picture at least with an old rug under it for binkies!

Esarv, How did you get you condo supported for 3 levels? I eventually plan to expand bunjamin's space but can't figure out a practical way to get support for a third shelf

Thats awesome condo. Wish Brittany liked the levels i offered her. But shes not much of a jumper. So she just has a single 2x3.

FF- All the levels in todds cage are supported with wooden dowels going through the center cross wise. And then they are alll just zip tied up and then have a peice of card board and then carpet on them.

LPT- you would be surprised that they tend to leave the carpet alone. When i first got the carpet i sprayed it with fooie which is sorta like bitter apple and he doesnt bother with it and i made sure i got carpet that was tight and not easy to rip out, its like woven carpet.

Dowel rods are amazing!

FrankieFlash, it looks like bunjamin has really taken over your closet

Here is my Diva's condo. The door is always open, as she is a free range bunny in a rabbit proofed apartment. Spoiled brat.

I used to have a condo for my girls, but took it down recently-ish when i moved the buns around. I'll probably build a new one for the boys when they finally bond, as Smudge wasn't fond of levels anyway. She was too scared to jump down

I do now! Boyfriend got ambitious over the holiday weekend. Don't task an engineer with building your bun's condo, or you end up with an obnoxiously large bunny palace.  No takers for the third level yet, but I think they'll get there soon. Liam spends tons of time on the second floor. I've added sticky rug tiles for better gripping, and lengthened the second floor ramp to make it less steep. An x pen is attached, so they have a big front yard too. Spoiled monsters.

Here's Lola's condo...I posed it earlier so here's the instructions if you are looking for ideas to start building (http://www.binkybunny.com/FORUM/tab...ult.aspx).  Also, I'd like to add make sure if you are carpeting your buns condo not to use carpeting that is "looped" (so you want a cut pile carpeting).  I never even thought of it but the lady at Home Depot said lots of people buy carpeting to make cat scratching posts and their nails can get stuck and torn-off (ouch!) in the looped --- I'm so glad she suggested it because everyone knows bunnies can resist the urge every now and then to dig!

It's actually the bottom to her baby cage (the size XXL Super Pet My First Home). We built a little shelf/ledge on the back to accomodate the size difference for a 3x2 NIC condo and just set the grids on top of it. It has worked PERFECTLY.

Here is the mega fortress NIC condo that I built for my 2 big buns, its 4x6x2, and I was planning on putting in more shelves, but since the two have decided to bond themselves, I might make it smaller and just let them free roam my bedroom.

OMG I am learning SO MUCH from this group! Clearly the cage I got for my bun is only going to be adequate for a short while longer... I want to try to build this .... http://www.michiganrabbitrescue.org/condo.htm .... however I am NOT crafty. I think I'll have to get the supplies and recruit my dad to come over and help me construct this thing :/

Here are my bunnies condo! I've had it for quite a while now and it is still holding strong! Not sagging like the other one I made a while back. The room setup has changed a bit (and I havn't gotten an update picture. But the condo is the same

I use one of those roll-under-the-bed bins.  I put the litterbox in there so they don't track hay and poopies everywhere.

MW, I was so excited to see that cardboard tube in your pic! I've been looking for one for my buns and I googled it so now I know where I can get one! Did you buy yours at a store or online?

@Mocha200

How did you find your original condo? I am looking at doing something similar with an old cabinet. I like the idea of the barn doors that open the whole thing making it easy for cleaning etc. vs. the NIC cube condos. Thought I should ask someone for their feedback that has already used the two types.

 

Thanks!

Hey, I went to Home Depot the other day and bought two of the 8 inch tubes!  My buns are crazy about them!  So thankful for the info on them!    They go in and dig and play and don't want to come out!   Thanks again!

Is it expensive to make a bunny condo? I have a bunch of x-pens but I really like the bunny condo look and I feel like the bunnies would like to hope around those more. I could make a section that is a bunny condo and still have the x-pens set up (when the buns are bonded) too but I am worried it will cost me my whole wallet. The ones I've seen only come with like 6 or 8 pieces and they are like $20. I don't know how to set them up or anything so I don't know how many I would need. Does anyone have a website I can buy the panels on? I don't think my wal-mart carries them. I've seen similar items at bed bath and beyond. Haven't really looked at target. What do you think? Also, where do you get the carpet to put on the ramps? How do you make the ramps? Do they even need ramps?


Thanks!

I got my nic cubes at target and they were 20 bucks a box and i got two boxes. and for the bottom of my cage i used the bottom of a dog crate. i dont have ramps in my buns cage he just hopps level to level. For the levels though i put down card board and then carped ontop (got the carpet at walmart). Then inorder for the levels to be strong you have to get wooden dowls to put under them. The cage is put together with zip ties and thats about it. If you have any more questions let me know.!!!
