Hey /an/, what do you think of my rabbit's hutch/cage?

Picked up the poor thing from a pet shop that had no knowledge of rabbits. Instead of buying a a small wire cage or expensive wooden hutch, I bought the biggest Sterilite bin I could find at Target, sawed some windows in it, and covered it with wire mesh. Hutch=$200 Bin=$12

So do you guys think it's the right size; if it's comfortable enough? The rabbit's full grown now, and it's a lazy critter, I don't think it'll take to ravenously chewing the plastic.
Anything else I should do?

I'd give them another bin behind that one or underneath that one. The rabbit I had liked to hop around a little sometimes, even though he was an old lazy bunbun.

You could probably keep it in a jar if you wanted to.

Be careful of those metal bits poking out. I had a rabbit gut itself on a sharp metal wire like that as it tried to wriggle out of its cage and got stuck.

That's a pretty good idea, mind if I steal it?

I swear the dinky little cage I spent a fuckton on at petsmart is nowhere near that big. Plus, i've had one of those bins sitting around in my garage for a year or two- never thought of using it for a cage.

It's nice that you asked first, because Anon has psychic powers and knows where you live.

OP, the only problem I could see with this idea is that if rabbit piss gets on the plastic, it could be very hard to contain the smell after a long time (I find it funny that stores still sell wooden hutches for this reason). Other than that, it's very creative, looks comfy.

About as hard as spelling "straight" correctly.

OP here, I have no table saw, had to use a serrated knife and elbow grease to cut the very thick, hardened plastic.

It's a good idea, but remember that rabbits need lots of time out of their cage, and they like to get in and out themselves. I'd say convert one of the windows to a door with a simple lock(hook and eye work well) and make a little ramp he can run down.

An even easyer cage is to just use wire cubes to build a cage, it's just as cheap, a lot less work, and you can get really creative with them.

Are thouse two big chunks of carrots? You should really limit carrots and other high sugar fruits and veggies as a treat, or you'll end up with an obeese rabit on your hands. Get some straw and toss some newspaper and toys in there, rabbits get bored real easy and need things to play with when you are not spending time with them.

I'm not sure if your house is set up for it, or if the rabbit can be trained at its age, but you can actually litter train rabbits, and let them roam free in the house. My dwarf rabbit loves having all the room it needs, although we went through pretty extensive measures to make the entire house rabbit safe (my entire family dotes upon him though, so it wasn't too big of a deal).
