Can the playpen be permanent housing or do I need a cage to make my rabbit feel enclosed? I want to give him a lot of room for exercise.

Watch out! I use mine for a playpen for my ferret, but she could easily get her head stuck between the bars. I had to lace edge clipper line in and out of each vertical bar overlapping in the middle of the bottom half to keep the bars from being pulled apart. The interlaced thick line added the strength it needed and worked like a charm. If you have an aggressive rabbit, it could get its head stuck too. I also stopped using the fabric floor, and picked up a piece of vinyl flooring. I cut flaps around the outside of the cage and bent them up around the bottom of the cage to form a lip and taped them together. That floor is great because it can be cleaned and is indestructible.

I've been using mine for permanent housing for about six years for my two rabbits. I don't use the floor that came it though it's just plastic they can easily chew. I use a utility rug on the ground instead.

It depends. It could be permanent housing. I'm not sure about your rabbit, but mine is pretty clever. He finds ways to push the bars around so I don't like to leave him unsupervised in it for more than a few hours. Whenever I'm home he is in the playpen, but when I leave I put him in his regular cage just to be safe.

Hello. My rabbit has never jumped over this nor has he been able to squeeze underneath. I attached this to his cage (the bars on the cage run vertical) and keep the cage door open so he can run around whenever he wants. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have two dwarf rabbits in the one I have. Lots of room for a litter box, play toy box and a house for them to sleep in. And still has room to run and play.

I have a mini holland lop in it. The cage was too small for him when he had a corner litter box. It's not too bad without it, but he also has an outdoor cage for him to have a lot more room in. It definitely isn't roomy enough for a large rabbit.

I haven't tried that with this particular hutch. The rabbit can hop from the closed nest box area to the open area in the cage. Most rabbits could probably hop down, but too high to get back in on their own. A flat board to the open door would probably work, though, if you want to give your rabbit freedom to come and go from the hutch. I have done this in the past with other hutches.

Two bunnies should be happy in this pen. I have two 3 month old dogs in and out of it. They have plenty of room to move around. the bottom mat is separate, but worth the money. It is easily washed. its about 4x4 but flexible as to the shape.I now see it is only the mat. You can find this playpen on Amazon. They fit well together.

We purchased the large cage for a house rabbit. It was too small for our full-size rabbit, but is fine for our mini-lop. It would be fine for a guinea pig. Love this cage! So well designed and sturdy. We've had it for several years now.

I think it would be fine for them, the walls are not too high. Are they in a good sized enclosure? It takes up some space. My bunny likes to sit in hers when she eats, and she has a lot of room in her hutch.

Always has to be down. Also to small for two rabbits. There are larger cages where u can close off ramp and have two separate cages.

The top and bottom both have sliding doors that lead into the joined pen. Rabbits are pretty smart especially when they want to breed. I would add a little latch on the sliding doors if you want to make sure they are separated. We also built a lean-to onto our garage to keep the hutch out of the rain and brushed it with water sealer. Looks brand new still. This is the best one we found, it's very good quality for a good price. We have one big rabbit in ours and leave the sliding doors open. With the doors open he goes out in the pen to potty and then you can use the blower to blow it clean and add new wood chips, lol. Makes it much easier.

Plenty of room for guinea pigs, I have two rabbits in it and they are comfortable. Although, they did manage to escape by digging out through the bottom before we thought to put down a barrier, no worries, we found them quickly. I will tell you they managed to chew through the "trap door" that separates the levels, so we just removed it completely.

This hutch is too small for 2 rabbits to live in. We use it for an outside exercise area for a rabbit for a day. We rotate who gets to play in it. The rabbits live in a larger hutch.

This is a very good cave to travel long distance with. We travel 9 hours with my bunny and was very comfortable. I would just suggest putting a litter box in the bottom of the cage for easy cleaning. I dont know about the travel cups though, we just gave our bunny (pepè) water a few times an our through his regular water bottle.Hope this helps -lauren

I've been doing extensive research on guinea pigs and I've read that they need a large cage especially for exercise purposes. I'm planning on getting two guinea pigs. Is this cage big enough? Will they feel cramped?

I puchased this cage over this past summer and plan to bring it in for the winter. My rabbit is the size of my cats and is able to stretch out in the caged. You will need to put something under the cage area as it does not have any floor.

No. This a a carrier and not a cage. Not only is it too small, but with its closed designed it would be too depressing. Buy an all wire dog crate of appropriate size. Take rabbit out daily.

This cage definitely has room for an exercise wheel. Our hamster had room for a wheel, plastic house, and hammock (never used, but it was cute!), plus room for the water bottle. He ate on the shelf that was included, but we had no ladder- he just climbed up using the cage wall. I highly recommend this cage for larger hamsters. It's easy to view the hamster, but deep enough for him to feel safe. The biggest plus is how easy this cage is to clean. Happy hamstering !
