Reddit reviews IRIS 24'' Exercise 4-Panel Pet Playpen with Door, Pearl White

Looks like the Iris Pen. My gals have the larger version since they have a second level to their box home.

We got ours at Target online because it sometimes goes on sale for the weirder colors. The pen is super nice because you can get additional panels for a modular setup.

It's that with a DIY coroplast floor. We're going to double it when Pumpkin gets bigger.

It sounds like you have it figured out.

My only suggestion would be to get a better cage/pen. A cage small enough to fit on a standard dresser would not be large enough for a rabbit that will be alone, and in the cage, for large parts of the day (which I am assuming he will, since you will be at school or sleeping for most of the day). Also, most commercially available, indoor rabbit cages are not nearly large enough for bunnies. The ones that are designed for outdoors, such as hutches, can be plenty large, but have wire bottoms which is terrible for bunny feet.


If you were to get a sturdy expen, which will cost you a bit of money, it will probably be Lhasa Apso proof. Since many ex pens are actually designed to keep doggies inside, they are probably able to keep a well trained, small, dog out.


Just make sure he has enough space to jump and run about a bit while you are gone, and enough toys to keep him busy.


I've got mine in a large IRIS pen, which keeps my black labs out. Something like this, with one of the expanders, would allow you to build a nice, 2'x4' ex pen that is very, very, strong, and big enough for your bun.

I also really love xpens. I didn't see any negative reviews on this one about welding. You might want to consider a plastic one though if you're worried. :)

How big is the room? It might be more cost efficient for you to get a roll of chicken wire and brace it with some boxes.

If your living room has carpet for flooring, I'd also lay down some tarp or plastic under whatever divider you use since your current bunny may start peeing along it to mark her "territory." Baby bunnies are generally friendly with all other bunnies though so you probably don't have to worry about aggression from them too much. Do you know their genders yet?

I use this pen but I covered the sides with those decorative metal sheets, and bought the cover that fits over the top. It is so much easier than a cage, and my ferret definitely prefers it.
