  She’s out 24/7 when I’m home but I’m just too scared to let her stay out her current cage while I’m out the house. Do you think I could use this? I’d obviously have her litter tray, toys, water etc in it. I think people mainly use these to let their buns out in the garden but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work in doors, but would like your opinion Considering this because her current cage is just a little too small to keep her in when I’m out, the litter tray takes up a lot of room in her current cage as well. x
  
  The total length x width is about 180 x 75 cm / 71x 29.5 inches.

  I think it would work really well as an indoor cage. Plenty of room to move around and I like the idea of a peaked roof. Looks like a cute little house. :] Obviously, you’ll have to sort out the flooring in terms of what the cage will be sitting on and where it is located but, otherwise, I think it is a good alternative.

  Hiya – yup it’s fine !! Its what I had set up in my lounge (or my lounge in it???) for 3 months? Well mine is 230 x 115 ! It had a flat roof which I could fold back and I could step into the run….
  
  The 180×75 is exactly the floor surface a 5×2 NIC cage takes up
  
  The fun you will have is getting her out…. unless she comes out easily or has access to her cage directly to it (through one of the doors), or unless you like crawling in all fours…

  Yep, that’s perfect Does the roof lift up? The doors look small for access, that would be my concern. Can you get a litter tray through the door?

  Yea i think its perfect if it works for you but just makes sure you give your bunny a enclosed space like a hidey house.

  Looks great! For flooring you could use vinyl, fleece or foam mats

  I would def look at ease of accessibility. Mine was temporary so my frustration was limited (and i had to clean on all fours where somebun had peed outside of box….grrrr), but changing box and catching bun should be kept in mnd but sizewise its fiiine
