My gawjus rabbits and cages.. :bunny:
-
They are beautiful :love:
May I make a suggestion though please?
Wire floors and rexes don't mix as the rex breed is highly prone to sore hocks. if you were to pop some ply down and cover it with some lino you will have a very easy to clean hock friendly surface ;)
For even easier cleaning you might like to try a litter tray filled with hay. Rexes are stupidly easy to litter train and the trays make cleaning out a doddle ;D :thumbsup: :bunny:

They are gawjus :love: the bottom of the cage has got half ply and half for the toilet..they are toilet trained now and use the corner of the mesh which is collected hygiencally into a waste area that is washed out..tjey dont use the mesh other than toileting so they happy bunnies.. :thumbsup:

Fab!

They are really cute.
Agree with CW about their feet. I know its only their toilet area but keep an eye on them. My Rex is a house bunny but still developed sore patches at one stage. I think its to do with the type of fur they have. Our lad has a litter tray with wood based cat litter and is very clean. Bless him. Hops around the house but always uses his tray.
He comes hopping over when you call his name especially if he thinks there is a crust off the toast for him.

All of our rabbits love having things to play with, toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay, Pine cones, Branches from fruit or willow tree's... etc.. Helps to keep their teeth down as well as prevent boredom. Hubby keeps rex rabbits and found that they are such an active rabbit that they got rather nasty without things to keep them entertained - Now they are much better!
