How to Make a Rabbit Cage

How to Make a Rabbit Cage. If you are looking for a new home for your pet rabbit, somewhere where to keep his food and let him sleep, then you can make your own rabbit cage. In the stores, rabbit cages can be quite expensive and sometimes too small. If you want to give your new rabbit some space to move around when you're not home, it would be better to build a cage yourself.

Things Needed

• Nails
• Hammer
• Large piece of plywood
• Cardboard or other roofing materials (optional)
• Caged wire
• Blanket
• Straw

Step 1

Decide how big a cage your bunny needs to it can freely move around, sleep and play. Look at the list of things so you can estimate or measure how much wood, wire and other roofing materials you need for the cage.

Step 2

Cut the plywood into three separate pieces. Use one as the floor, and the other two pieces as the two walls. The two wall pieces should be the same size. Nail them together at the bases with hammer and nails.

Step 3

Get your cage wire material and apply it to both of the other sides of the box. Twist the wires around the base of the plywood and make sure there is not any pieces sticking up that might injure your rabbit.

Step 4

Get a piece of cardboard and cut a square large enough for the roof. You don't necessarily need to have a cardboard roof. If your walls are tall enough so the rabbit can't escape, than you can just cover it with a sheet or blanket at night time.

Step 5

Place some straw and soft materials for the rabbit to enjoy while in the cage. Include a bowl for food and a water feeder for your rabbit.

Warnings

• If you have your measurements with you, then you ask the home improvement store staff to cut the plywood to your specifications.

Warnings

• Make sure the bunny isn't in the cage at this time. Keep him in a secure place away from your building site.
