With two new rabbits arriving in just over 2 weeks I'm re-arranging the 'bunny' room to accommodate them, the room itself is small, only 7 square metres (apparently 78sq feet). All my rabbits live in dog crates and for the past year my spayed sister pair have had their crate on a 4 foot long and 3 foot wide wooden stand above the other crate as you can see by the picture below.
However with the new additions and another similar stand it's going to be a really tight fit getting around the room and I'm thinking that maybe instead of having these stands that stacking one crate directly on top of the other might be an easier way to go, maybe using some big cable ties or something like that to attach the two together.
Has anyone done this or something similar and had any issues? I'm worried that if I do this that if the bunny/s at the top get startled by something that the movement might shake the bottom crate and cause some instability, especially since the single bunnies in the new crates won't have that 2nd level to keep the sides or fronts from collapsing.
Any suggestions?
