        I am a new bunny owner and am not sure I am prepared for this. But for my kids sake must make his work!  

        Bunny Lily can  apparently jump  at least 21″ inches high. Problem is I need a gate 5 ft wide!  

        I was thinking of making a nic panel gate3 cubes tall ( this way it can fold up a bit too).

         But how can I stabilize it so bunny won’t knock over or move? I can’t put anything into my walls. 

        If I don’t figure this out bunny might have to move to finished basement. 

        Another doorway I could put up a gate would need to be 4ft wide. 

        Thanks for help!

        my other option is to let her play in entire downstairs which I could do by protecting wires but I can’t have her all over furniture.

        so much to learn about bunnies!

          Welcome! 

          Most bunnies can jump pretty high. Usually it’s recommended that a pen be at least 36″ tall (48″ is probably better). I’m wondering if you could just get an X-Pen and use it as a barrier. I do this when I want to block my bunnies off from the kitchen and they don’t really try to move or knock it over. 

          This pic is from BB’s bunny proofing article to kind of show what I mean:

            I made a NIC grid gate for our den.  Here are photos and a diagram.

              Could you anchor it behind a piece of furniture on each side against the wall? If you did that and kind of curved it outward, it would be more stable.
