I am looking at getting a giant angora as a wooler. It would live in my dry basement with play time on the main floor.
I am concerned about cage size.
I read they need 30x36x24 or 24x48x24
or even 30x30 and 30x36
The one I am looking at is currently being kept in a 24x30
All I can find for sale is maxing out at an 18in height.
What are the most appropriate sizes for a rabbit this large. I wanted to convert our dog crate but it seems its almost cheaper to get a full cage rather than just the wire (plus my current crate is a black painted one and used when my friend's dog gets baby sat)
There were two I really liked 30x30x18 and one with better openings that was 20x19- but that just seems too small.
Also does anyone have input on plastic vs metal drop pan? Being an angora I was told they do better being kept on wire so litter boxes are out.
places I have looked at to buy
http://www.bassequipment.com
Tractor supply
or am I truly better off building my own w PVC pipe and wire? I'm not terrible handy and tend to maim myself with things that are sharp (IE wire) http://rabbitbreeders.us/supplies/cage-wire/
I am very new to the rabbit world and would appreciate any advice.
I just found this with a 30x24x24 though I am not sure what galvanized before wire means
