            I have a Midwest pen (42″ high).  Works great for my guy.  He can push it around a little but that hasn’t been a problem.

                You can make an ex-pen like pen out of NIC grids and they are totally reconfigurable as your needs change.

                  I just posted this link in another thread… http://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Gold-Zinc-Indoor-Outdoor-Exercise/dp/B0002AT2IE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1395323826&sr=8-3&keywords=midwest+exercise+pen

                  We have two of these pens. They are very sturdy.

                  Is the pen you have now classified as a “small animal” pen? If so, I agree, those pens are really not strong enough for a determined rabbit. You need an actual DOG exercise pen.

                    Thats a great link! thanks. What height do you recommend ?

                      Minimum height of 36 inches if your rabbit is NOT a jumper. If your rabbit is a jumper, there are also 42- and 48-inch pens. The price only goes up by a few dollars to get the next height up, so if you’re unsure you might want to err on the side of caution and get the taller pen.

                      We have the 36 inch pens and they’ve been fine for our rabbit(s). One time Max somehow got over the top but I think he was so freaked out, he never did it again.

                      Definitely make sure it’s the walk-through variety. It’s nice to be able to just unlatch the door and walk in to feed or clean up without taking the pen apart every time.

                      This is a very old picture,but you can see what I mean by the walk-through door….

                        Hi,

                        These r my favorite xpens, don’t know if your bun would be able to push it around though.

                            Meadow is the uppy eared mini rex. Max, the lop, passed away last summer unfortunately, so now it’s just Meadow.

                            In the front corner, that was a triangular “thing” my husband had made at work to keep hay in, but it became a litter box, so we had to throw it out. This is an old picture so the pen is set up different now…
