Collapsable dog kennel crates work well for housing units. Double-door 42-inch L crates are recommended. The 2nd door is handy vs. single door crates. The two agouti-colored buns had single swing-up doors; dog-kennel crates have improved from this early style.
The crates are a safe zone when you're away. Do consider a housing unit at least 4-5x times bigger than your rabbit. Your bun has options to stretch out and recline. And let your bun out to binky leap, race about, climb on furniture, explore and play (impossible to do in a confined area).
For starters, a limited space is suggested to establish good litter pan habits. These two buns were in training!
A cardboard box, step stool or wooden hidey hut adds intrigue and a scoot-under area. Closet shelving can be added with wooden dowels and zip ties. Place cardboard or carpet pads over the slats. Your bun has a loft area in his bedroom space!
Place hay manger or carton holder right by the litter box. A dollop of hay in front the litter box will encourage buns to nibble, relax, and do their business. Soiled hay will not be consumed. So unlimited hay is suggested for dainty or hearty nibblers. Always have hay by (or in) their litter pan.
