Your response was very unnecessary and pretty insulting. So allow me to clear the air.
>I didn't know anything about caring for rabbits when I got it, and now that I know how to take care of it, it's too much work/too expensive/too boring.
We knew exactly what we were getting into. Why do you think this was necessary to include in this post?
We willing left our rabbits with their genitals because we wanted to do a litter of kits. My gf is very attached to her rabbit and wanted him to make a litter. We went into this knowing we'd take care of them if we couldn't find good homes.
The buck and doe are separated at all times. They're not pumping out babies.
The buck got taken into the vet to be neutered today. As a matter of fact, you even commented on the post I made about an hour before this one talking about it.
> once your name gets out there as somebody who takes rabbits in...
Get out where? To who? This is one of those comments that was incredibly unnecessary. I'm not starting a rabbit farm. I'm not adopting. I'm not taking in strays. And we're not having more kits. We wanted 1 litter. We got 1 litter. And he was already at the vet for neutering before I even posted this. So what is your point?
> If you ever again find yourself in a situation where you have two rabbits but would prefer to have eight, please check Petfinder and your local Craigslist (or equivalent).
Again, we WANTED this litter. Do you go around telling pregnant women they're wrong for not adopting? Good god.
>You likely won't be able to keep any of them together in pairs or groups if they are not spayed/neutered
Again, why does this merit mentioning? Are you assuming I don't know that rabbits have sex constantly?
The males and females will be separated when they're 8 weeks old and the floors between the two cages will be sealed. I specifically designed this to accommodate both sexes before they're fixed. Even more proof we went into this with intent.
> Your cage isn't THAT big.
A cage with 4 floors where EACH FLOOR is 70 inches long by 14-28 inches tall by 28 inches wide isn't big? You have to be kidding. I'm over 6 feet tall and this thing is as long as me when I lay down. A 4x4 single floor isn't even in the same ballpark as a 4 floor cage where each floor is 70x28 inches. Can you please post a pic of your cage because you're being unrealistic with your sizes and you're assuming my cage is much small than it is.
$50 cage - 27 x 19 x 20 - 1 floor
$140 cage - 63.8 x 23.6 x 19.7 - 1 floor
$230 cage - 63.8 63.4 X 23.6 - 1 floor
None of those are even close. The largest one is still about 1/2 the square footage of our cage.
> 5x2 (even with multiple levels) is definitely not large enough for six adult rabbits
Again, math... How are you going to say 5x2 is the same thing as (2x6)*4? You can double your quoted 10 sq feet and still be closer to 0 than to the actual 48 sq feet they have.
To put that in perspective, here's a video of a 100 sq foot apt a guy in NYC lives in.
I honestly think you were intending to help and you may have been trying to be nice, but you failed at both.
This is a damn good home and far better than almost any rabbits get. They have gobs of space, someone who actually gives them a proper diet and doesn't gorge them on just pellets and/or hay, they're all setup to be fixed, they have access to fresh water 24x7, they have tons of toys including homemade ones, their cages get cleaned out regularly, they stay clean and get their nails trimmed regularly...and yet your comment made me feel like I was some shitbag redneck who jams 8 rabbits into a cat carrier and leaves them there most of the time because the responsibility can't be handled.
I didn't come for a lecture, especially one that doesn't apply to me. I just came here to share some pictures with this community.
If I could give one suggestion to you, it would be "Be more graceful with your posts."
Edit: Response from walkaroundtime that I caught before deletion:
> I think you misunderstood what my post meant. I should have been clearer.
>
> I wasn't referring to YOU with that first part. I meant the people giving up their rabbits. My main point was that there are lots of homeless rabbits.
>
> By "your name," I meant "one's name". As in, from my own personal experience, as a "rabbit person" known in the area, I hear from a lot of people looking to find new homes for their rabbits.
>
> I didn't mean keeping opposite sex unfixed rabbits together. I meant that even a group of unspayed females will likely have issues coexisting peacefully because of hormones. Nothing to do with reproduction.
>
> When I said your cage isn't "THAT big," I didn't mean that it's not a nice big cage. It's just not big enough for six adult rabbits. Multi-level cages are good, but it's not the same as having the same square footage on one plane. I'd be happy to have a discussion with you on the merits of multi-level cages for rabbits if you're interested but I won't go into too much detail now...
>
> I'm honestly not sure why you're so angry. Can you read my original post again with my clarifications in mind? Sorry if my wording wasn't the clearest.
Original post before it gets deleted, too:
> I and probably the majority of people here are generally anti-breeding in most cases. This is a perspective I've developed over the years as my house has basically become a repository for unwanted rabbits. To a casual observer, it might seem like the problem of homeless rabbits isn't as widespread as with cats and dogs, but once your name gets out there as somebody who takes rabbits in, you start getting inundated with calls from people with just the worst reasons for getting rid of them. ("I didn't know anything about caring for rabbits when I got it, and now that I know how to take care of it, it's too much work/too expensive/too boring.") To their credit, at least these people are acknowledging they can't care for the rabbit and finding it a better home rather than relegating it to a short miserable life in a tiny cage and no attention. If you ever again find yourself in a situation where you have two rabbits but would prefer to have eight, please check Petfinder and your local Craigslist (or equivalent). At least in the US, there are unwanted rabbits EVERYWHERE. Just something to keep in mind.

> But, your rabbits are very cute, and it looks like you're taking good care of them! I do have some suggestions:
>
> You likely won't be able to keep any of them together in pairs or groups if they are not spayed/neutered, even if they are the same gender. Unaltered rabbits can be very territorial.
>
> Your cage isn't THAT big. It's certainly a big improvement over the commercially available cages, but it's pretty standard for what people in the rabbit community usually recommend for a pair of rabbits. I never keep a single rabbit in anything smaller than 4'x4' unless they're recovering from surgery or something. 5x2 (even with multiple levels) is definitely not large enough for six adult rabbits, even if they are allowed to roam free for most of the day.
>
> If you do find other homes for any of the babies, please make sure you have an agreement with the new owners that they will get them spayed/neutered at the appropriate age, not just to prevent unwanted litters but for the health and happiness of the rabbit.
Total Startup: ~$500
Also to note most of the "hedgehog foods" you'll find are not good. Your hedgehog will do a lot better on a high end cat food. Kitten formula dry food is best for the first 4-6 months of its life then switch to adult. You can also try to incorporate high end wet chicken and turkey cat foods.
I only have one piggy for now, but I bought my cage in preparation for another. It's huge and takes up a good portion of my room, but she loves it! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0133LNLJY?pc_redir=T1
Hey there good job! You should be proud of yourself for having the adult conversation!
I wonder why does she not like the idea on a pen out of curiosity? - it's just it is soooo much cheaper and more space also.
Or a space out of NIC grids like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzS82KZ7ADo
These are easy to build and they won't be messy and you can have a top with NIC grids too in case she worries about jumping....

To answer you question - If you must have a cage:
This one is the best as it is larger!
This and this are I guess decent... well better than nothing
The two story one is ok I guess.. but if you have that budget look here http://www.petwerks.com/condos.aspx
_____________________
But listen you guys have a good budget... why get a cage? get him a dog crate and set it up like this. It has all the benefits of a cage except it's a larger more appropriate size space and cost less than half of that tiny 2 story cage!
Or why not try this - it has both a cage and a pen and is so versatile :)

Here are some premade housing options you can buy that are also apartment friendly:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/519136248/large-indoor-rabbit-cage-hutch-2x4-2x2?ref=shop_home_active_10&pro=1&frs=1 - great size and reasonable price, well made
​
https://www.etsy.com/shop/DutchElves?ref=l2-shopheader-name – wonderful idea, clean and large
​
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ClearlyLovedPets?ref=l2-shopheader-name - unconventional, but could be a nice large set-up that is also good looking for a modern space
​
http://www.petwerks.com/condos.aspx - well made, fantastic size to space ratio, a bit on an investment
​
Discuss these options with you mom. Maybe print out my comment and pictures of the links of show her on the computer. I mean well and just trying to help.
​
But one thing is for sure is his current cage is at tiny as you say you have got to get him out - it's actually cruel to keep him in there!
​
This or this from amazon are good options.
