Is there a big enough cage out there?

[Mother Hubbard]

Hi there, first post ever!

I took ownership of 3 little girls who needed a loving home. The original plastic tank is too small since they are now fully grown. They live indoors and go outdoors at weekends when weather suitable. But I haven't found a large enough (ideally plastic tank with the grill at the top) home for them. Pet shops just say you need a bigger one. Ferplast do a rabbit120 but still no big enough. Still a novice and require good advice please.

Thanks, mum to Blossom, Buttercup and Voilet

please do you use a tank you need really good ventilation, mesh sides are much better would you consider using c&c cage?

Ferplast do a Rabbit 140 which is currently £95 online at Pets at Home including free deliver. This cage is nearly 5ft long by 2ft wide

Big enough cage?

Great thanks very much. I'll call it a late xmas present for them. Brillant quick responses as well.

Hi, not sure what a c&c cage is. I guess I'm quite happy using a cage with plastic high depth sides. I think whatever I put them in, they will just be happier with something much bigger than what they have now. Appreciate the quick replies.

Zooplus is a good website, and cheap too - worth a look!

I got a 4x2ft cage for £40.

If you haven't got other pets like cats and dogs, or small children, you could think about building your own C&C cage - one grid pack from ebay gives you quite a few possibilities from a 2x4 grids (70x140cm which is more than the minimum of 2x5ft) with an upstairs to a 3x5 grid system - which is plenty or space to run around in!

It works out a lot cheaper than a big cage!
