Update:
I have decided that I will get the most space converting a dog crate I acquired cheap (in pieces)
The crate is 48x30x36
Question- I am ordering a wire bottom from Klubertaz- The bottom is about $40 to ship. HOWEVER I could order 2 pieces 30x24 and save on shipping- I would then have to wire those to each other and to the crate.
I am wondering how safe and effective this would be, or if I should scrap the idea all together and stick with the 48x30 panel.
The plastic wall could be swapped with wire- I was going to do plastic with no edges exposed so it wouldnt be chewed and it could double as another door for easy cleaning
I hope its ok I am reposting this, I realized I put it in the wrong section
In an attempt to keep cost low and use materials I have on hand I was thinking of adding 14 gauge wire mesh to the bottom of my dog crate as a rabbit home.
Question 1: How corrosive is rabbit urine? Would it take the black paint off the dog crate? (its the kind they come coated in from the manufacturer)
Question 2: if it chewed on the cage wire would the paint coating be dangerous to the rabbit?
I have a 36x24x24 crate (it fits my 45lb dog) I know I will need to upgrade eventually but is this big enough for a Giant Angora (up to 12lb) initially?
