Hi guys and welcome back to creativepetkeeping my little bunny named Mochi recently underwent
surgery to remove and eye to help her fight an infection and abscess that formed under
her eye and this was her tiny little hospital cage where she recovered well its about time
for her to get an upgrade this is the space that I am going to use and its an extra spot
near the couch where spend a lot of time and I think it will be a good spot for her cage
so for the sides I am using wire storage cubes also known as C&C grids you can use baby gates
or you can use playpen materials, expens are really good, but this is what Ifound at my
local bad bath and beyond Ishould have an amazon link down below for you to get them
ahh usually they come in white or black Igot black Iwill also be using a yoga mat to protect
the floor from any accidents and also cable ties to tie it all together.
When building a cage definitely have someone help you out as you can see Muki is causing
trouble but if you are younger have someone help you out.
I got a paper cut trying to open this box and I
m 24 so you know always always have some help you out oh yea here's a close-up, it's Hello
Kitty because I'm like that.
SO this is what the C&C grids look like when you open then I kinda like this brand because
all of them consistently obviously are the same size although they do these weird shelf
like bonus uhh two grilds you can probably get creative..probably make a shelf out of
it for your bunny but I like how consistent they are in size.
Back then when I used to buy C&C grids sometimes they used to have a set where a couple were
small and others ones have larger gaps the the larger ones were always kinda useless
to me so that's awesome.
Before you get started definitely lay out all your pieces so you can get an idea of
how large your cage is going to be and also play around with the different configurations
to see what will work the best for you.
Then it is time to get your cage ties and start to attach your pieces.
So this is what it looks like with the cage ties attached be sure to snip off any excess
parts that hang out and if you want your umm cage to kinda open and close a lot easier
or for the pieces to fold attach your cable ties at an angle.
So here is what my progress looks like as I start to attach different pieces together.
Bunnies are great jumpers but some not as much Mochi is not really a big jumper so I
attached two panels using some cage ties in the middle to add some height to sides to
make sure she doesn't escape her cage and as you can see because I am overlapping the
grids it keeps the grids from falling over and kinda supports them.
If you need something a lot taller I recommend supporting it with possibly some extra pieces
of wood.
As your bunny leans on the cage you want it to be able to support the weight.
So here I am putting everything together I had a really cute fleece blanket that's on
the bottom the nice thing about it is Im using the cage walls to keep it in place and I can
wash this blanket out every week or every other week.
Afterwards I ended up adding all of the accessories and check out how cute this cage looks, now
Imay or may not add a top on top of it I'm not really sure what I am going to do yet
my bunny does get along with my cats really well so I don't really mind that they would
go inside especially now that she has recovered from her surgery a lot more but I think this
cage turned out really cute.
I did put a little piece fo wood in the corner to prevent her from chewing the couch as well
as some granite so she can lay down and cool on top of it some little untreated wood blocks
to play with cute little decorations and I have a water dish as well as a water bottle
so she can choose if she wants to drink from the water bottle or from the dish.
So that is my cage setup and now it is time for Mochi the bunny yo check it out.
For those of you that are new umm may not know that Mochi did have surgery to remove
her eye so she is a little sensitive and still spooks as you can see here she got a little
startled when I blocked her from getting out but she is doing well to adjust to the life
you know having one eye she is using her other senses her sense of smell as well as her hearing
Iwanted to make sure that this cage didn't have very much for her to bump into and was
very easy and simple to navigate Ialso wanted her litterbox/food/hay corner to for her to
be able to get out of it a lot easier so usually with litterboxes it is best to get litterboxes
with a lot higher corners aaa usually those really talled walled litter boxes are great
for bunnies in her case Iwanted something as low as possible so from different angles
she can jump in and out I also added that little wood chew in the corner so she dosent
bump her face into that corner so its like a big bulky object thats a lot easier for
her to notice that will kinda help keep her safe and uhh she can chew on it whenever she
feels like it.
So that is kind of what this cage looks like, be sure to also check out Mochi the bunnies
gofundme there will be a link down below we are gathering funds to help pay for her surgery
all of her medical procedures and if we have any leftover money that we don't use we are
going to donate all of it to the vet bill for the red door ahh animal shelter that takes
care of and helps a lot of bunnies.
So I hope that you enjoyed this video and seeing this new awesome home for Mochi
