here's what you've missed so far
for a while I've been unhappy with the layout of my pet room and have been wanting to find a way to make it more
cozy and usable for me without having to you know completely move to a new house
because that's kind of a expensive option
my parents had the idea to maybe take the doors off to the closet
declutter and donate a lot of my old hamster supplies that I don't use all of the time
and essentially just take everything out of the closet
and move the Kallax storage unit onto a wall in the pet room and then put the niteangel
enclosure inside of that space But just two problems
one: the only way it would fit in is if you disassemble and reassemble it into the closet
and two: I wouldn't be able to use the bottom enclosure because the doors wouldn't be able to open
so that idea was scrapped
I tried a bunch of different layouts but because because most of the things in the room are big and need a lot of space
it's pretty limited to what you can actually move around
because of where the windows and closet are situated
so I was feeling pretty defeated especially since I had just created a huge mess
and it left me feeling very overstimulated in the moment
so I put everything back to how it was and took a day to think about what I could change in the room
and now you're hopefully up to speed on what's going on
enjoy
the first thing I want to do in the room is just give it a complete cleanout
so I'm literally going to move almost everything that I can
out into my living room so let's do it
there's poop under here
now to move this stuff onto that side
so we can clean on this side
this is the perk of having cages on Wheels it's super convenient for moving stuff
okay floor is all clean
okay so now all of the main surface area cleaning is done
I'm going to bring the chair in here so that I can
show you guys and kind of try to work with it
okay
so this is the chair that I got
it's very comfy as you can see and I feel like I would really enjoy
spending time in here cuz I get to sit in this chair
I put the chair in the corner
Nickel's cage will like remain over here
maybe Penny's cage will go beside I'll try to like fit it in
we'll see I really like to keep the rabbit stuff like in the corner and partially in the window cuz they enjoy the Sun
let's put everything else in here and then I'll see what- how I feel
so this is kind of what I've got so far with the room
I'm not too mad about it I do think I'm eventually going to switch the Dig box to something a little bit more
neater looking
and then I do want to possibly get a new hay box
maybe something like slightly smaller and
with bars or something but
I think I'm happy with how it turned out we'll see let's add in
our new carpet
the rug
that I bought I'm really excited about
because it's from rugsUSA.ca
and this is a machine washable rug
and that is so awesome especially if you have rabbits
who just make messes they get veggie juice everywhere sometimes they'll like
have an accident outside of the litter box
and being able to just like throw it in the washer so much better
so this I got on sale it was only $80 and when you go to the checkout
they are going to like prompt you that you
need to get a rug pad
and they have two options they have like some premium rug pad and then like your regular old standard one
the cheapest option is like $75 on sale and it's like
some cheap
carpet stop like carpet pad I guess you can call it
and I almost bought one
cuz it says you need it and then I was like oh I'm just going to see if I can find them somewhere else
and I literally looked on Ikea they have
like a slightly larger size this was $14.99
$14.99 versus $75 to $80 are you kidding me
this rug is slightly larger than our old one so that's even better too
the rabbits will have slightly more room for
bunny activities
Oh my gosh it's so so cute
I actually really like it
oh see what I mean make sure you put something underneath so you don't slip and die
since it's kinda been rolled up for a while I'm just gonna
take these weights and plunk them on the corners until it flattens itself
the other thing I wanted to tackle is the closet
I just want to down grade on how much stuff I have and I also got
some like little cupboards for these first two doors to install
here are the little doors that go on the kallax
hopefully they're not too hard to figure out
thank you
so this is what the closet looks like now it's definitely a lot cleaner
I got rid of-
I got rid of a bunch more things that I'm just going to donate and yeah
last thing that I have to do is I bought some proper
cord protectors the old ones that I used is this like black
material it does help protect the cords but rabbits can chew through it eventually
and it just hate the way it looks
so I got some proper stuff
so these are really easy they just slide off like
this and then you put your cords in here slide it back on
and there you go
so as you can see it just looks a lot neater in the room than the black cord
and that's a wrap
I'm actually really happy with how the room turned out
I was pretty bummed for the last couple of days because
it wasn't really working the way I wanted it to but I'm
pretty satisfied with the whole result of it
if you guys are interested and seeing the entire room I am going to be uploading a
full room tour next week so stay tuned for that
I hope you guys have enjoyed today's video and I will see you in my next one bye
