I've been looking at indoor rabbit hutches and cages for about a week now, looking at different sizes, etc. One of my friends suggested this, and it sounds possible, I just have a question for someone who knows rabbit behavior.
Basically, her idea was to take a wooden computer or TV stand/cart (something like this http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_9990000042044011P?prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3 but maybe bigger) and take off the back panel and take out the shelf. now take chicken wire or whatever that wire is that they use in outdoor hutches normally and attach it to these two sides, and make a door through that.
I'm sure we would have to somehow work this so that the shavings or bedding would not fall out, but it sounded pretty reasonable to me. The cage would also look more like a piece of furniture, not just an awkward cage (which is important to me because I live in a small apartment). My friend suggested it because her brother has a TV stand that is like this but wider, and I could get it cheaper than I could get a cage as well.
Main question is if the rabbit would chew the wood? I plan to make sure it has branches and other things to chew on and play with, and a litter box in this area, but I want to make sure it won't chew the wood and the finish hurt it or something. Or let me know if you think of any other concerns.
Good idea for a rabbit cage/pen or no?
