  As I only have 6 weeks until I get my 2 bunnies, I need to start getting ready. As always, the first step will be bunny proofing which we’ll be doing this weekend and next. That leaving only 4 weeks until I get my bunnies, I will need to start thinking about supplies and housing since there not free ranged house bunnies. Please read below and help me decide whats best for us!
  
  Our Other Pets
  
  Currently, I own 3 cats, 2 chickens (there outside so that shouldn’t be a problem) and 4 gerbils (caged) So, the real problem is the cats. I know everyone says cats and rabbits get along fine, but I still need a cage that will keep those cats out! The bunnies will be housed in the bonus room of my house so they’ll have plenty of floor room when its floor time, but what about when its not floor time… they’ll need a cage! with a top, because cats and bunnies may not always get along, and cats might need to stay out!
  
  Options
  
  Since I have to pay with everything with my own money, I’d prefer something that’s around $20-30. (unless NIC cages are the way to go and I need to buy 2 sets of grids) Obviously, NIC cages do have build-able tops while X-pens don’t. As this cage is either going to be kept on top of a kids wooden play table, or a nook/corner of the room, it can’t be huge but still needs to allow plenty of bunny room.. Also needs to be high enough for me to reach! (table is about 2ft High, I’m about 5’3) As I was thinking about the ways I could build my NIC cage, I was thinking I could do 4 blocks length (on the back and front) 2 blocks width, (sides) and 3 blocks high with a upper level thats about 4-6 grids… How exactly do I go about building this? especially the second level, how does bunny get up easily? I want something that opens in the front, with NIC cages you can control that easily… I guess I just need to know more about the construction and placement that is easiest for me and bunnies.
  
  What size bunnies and how many (bonded) could fit comfortably in these cages? what sizes would I need for 2 bunnies?
