I'm not sure which section this belongs in, so I'm posting this here. If it needs to be moved, please let me know.

Here's my new nzw's, with my cage setup!!

Cute!

Looks very nice, but how are you collecting? Urine will collect fast. Those are very nice looking bunnies. Wishing you the best.

Thanks!! I plan on raising the plastic up on one side so it will slide off the end into a container. I've been lazy lately, but I'm going to do something to it this afternoon.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Thank you!! It seemed like it took forever. I should be getting a buck in about a month. He said that he's got some that are 3 weeks old now, and that he'll save me one!!

Pretty bunnies!

:congratulations:

I notice in the first picture that you have very sharp wire ends sticking up on your door opening. Those will cut you worse than the rabbits- ask me how I know! :x

I would use a file to smooth them down and/or buy edge guard so you don't get cut every time you reach into the cage.

I now use a grinding wheel to cut my cage wire, but even then there are sometimes sharp edges, so the door guard really comes in handy.

I plan on getting the guards soon! I made my doors bigger this afternoon so it would be easier and safer to get them in and out until I get the guards. I was thinking about possibly putting some duct tape on the bottoms at least, for a short term solution, but I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea or not. I wouldn't think the adhesive would be good for the buns to eat.

Something I have used in the past is the poster frames. They are plastic and can be cut to the size you want/need. I often got mine at walmart so fairly cheap.

I never thought of that Sagebrush!! Actually, for a temporary thing, I found some corner bead that I had laying in my basement, that I trimmed out one cage with, and the bottom and right side of the other one. I'm not sure how long it would possibly last, but I'm sure my arms will thank me tomorrow!!

Oh I bet! The other thing I have used without any issue is flashing. I cut strips of it and fold it over the wires around the inner door edge. Then I use some j-clips and wire snips to make rings around the bottom of the flashing to make it secure. No cuts/scratches and the rabbits can't chew it either!

That would work too!! The options for this are endless!!
