Shaking up the bunny pen

Cleaning the bunny pen and took out everything to do so, even the bunny "funhouse". So, when we started to out it back together, we decided to mix it up a little. We think this keeps the bunnies more interested in their toys and hidey places. They seem to have had a fun day exploring the relocated castle (in the pen now) and funhouse (outside the pen). Even the maze haven and vacation villa, still located in the same old places, seem to be gaining renewed attention ... maybe just to verify they have not been changed.

Here's the rearranged pen now, or at least, for the moment. They love their princess bed from The Blissful Bunny so much, we had to leave that in the pen. And the wooden tunnel has already been used to gain access to the castle tower and to hop from the tower to the princess bed (and back).

Of course, you can check it out during the day on the BunCam.

  1. those bunnies have the coolest room. I wonder if Umbra would like a setup like that, or just be more interested in the non-bunny furniture like she usually is.

  2. Is that just a garbage can with a hold cut out for a hay feeder? I am always looking for new ideas.

    1. Yes - It holds a lot of clean hay and has 3 holes cut into it at different heights; it is suspended above a litter box. It is in several RR posts; here is one where Lucy demonstrates its use: http://bunyaboy.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-makes-that-perfect-piece-of-hay.html

  3. Hi from Rabbitats! Awesome set-up!! Question: When you fill up the garbage can feeder, does the hay drop down as they pull it from the bottom? How long does it last? We're always trying to promote great living spaces (and bulk rescue!), I'll be passing this one around. Love the idea of carpet on the boxes, too. We're big on boxes, but we just use plain janes for the shelter/holding area, but great if we can make it more scenic and the bunnies will LOVE the traction. He's a pic of our boxes... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=688244564531424&set=p.688244564531424&type=1&theater Thanks for all the info on your site!!

    2. Sure - no secret. The bunnies got their castle, tunnel, elevated princess bed and several wood chew toys from The Blissful Bunny. Their Etsy store is at https://www.etsy.com/people/TheBlissfulBunny and their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/TheBlissfulBunny. This creative couple donates the profits to rabbit rescues. If it is not in their stock, you might buy it from the Georgia House Rabbit Society's Hop Shop (www.houserabbitga.com).
