Cage Problems

[Tali and Mordin]

So I recently moved my bun to an x-pen from a large dog pen. Today I walked into my bedroom to find the pen moved completely around. She has figured out how to move the panels with her mouth. So when she wants out she bites the sides and pulls while backing up. I’m not sure how to prevent her from doing this? Is there some way I could weigh down the panels? or make them so they can not move? The pen came with stakes but obviously I cant put those into my bedroom floor. 

Btw she’s huge so the panels would need to be pretty heavy for her not to move them.

I have the exact same problem with Bramble, I have to put him back in his dog crate at night because he makes so much noise moving the pen that no one would get any sleep. Its weird because when he used to chew the bars of the cage I assumed it was because he needed more space but now he has tonnes of space the chewing/shaking is ten times worse than it was before!

I will be following this thread with interest to see if any suggestions could help me with Bramble too.

I saw a pic on a rescue’s page on facebook where they used pvc pipe and pvc corners to make an inexpensive “frame” for each bunny’s xpen to keep them from moving them around.

You could also place a couple cinder blocks up against the panel that he’s moving. Unless he’s super strong, that should keep it in place. Once he figures out that it’s immobile, he may stop trying and then you can stop using them.
