DIY indoor rabbit hutch

[Lexi01]

So I got my newest rabbit a few days ago. My current doe is not a fan of the cute little girl just yet.... So I need to build a new hutch.

I got this for $20 at a local thrift store, it gets delivered today! I'm thinking to take the wood out of the middle of the doors and replace it with wire . Then put a couple floors and ladders (maybe a bunny hammock?)
What do you guys think?! Any ideas?
It's for billy the half rex half lionhead bun

I have bunnies too. I think you could rip the shelves of, build knew ones and put a few ramps in. I would attach an x-pen to it though, because it seems small. You should try bonding your bunnies so they take up less space. Are they spayed?

Change of plans were going with the dresser idea... Will post pics soon

WWWWWWWWWW! That bunny is SO cute!

Anyway... idea sounds good! My mom always wanted to make a hutch out of a cabinet or dresser. Will be looking forward to photos!

I forgot to take a before picture but imagine a $5 water damaged dresser

I started tossing the useless drawers away

(for future fire wood) and peeling the old lanoleum or some terrible top layer

Then sanding!!!! Until the sander died...

I shall finish sanding tomorrow!

Looking good! You can attach linoleum to the flooring, in case of any accidents and easy clean up.

I was thinking that or tile or something.. We 'll see!

Looks great so far! Maybe you could put U-nails in the corner to attach a litterpan to?

Today I finished sanding and painting! Make sure to use pet friendly paint in case your rabbit chews on stuff.

Looks good! My bunnies would chew that up in an instant. Had to replace about $200 worth of T.V wires, and the entire base molding in "their" room. Naughty little buggers
