1. Classic C&C Cage

C&C cages are often the first option. Efficient, durable, and easy to customize, these cages offer the space and separation needed for our fuzzy little friends. Customize your own to fit your space. Move it around freely and build your own cage to the size that fits your needs and your budget.
2. L-shaped Pen
Maximize space for toys and accessories with an L-shaped pen. Moven beyond the typical rectangular options and create separate areas for feeding. Add pet store cages and hutches inside to fit your unconventional space. Like other types of cages, this idea is all about customization on a budget.
3. Loft and Ramp
A similar option but with different plastic walls is easy to customize. Consider this option if you’re interested in something different from the classic C&C cage that still retains versatility. Get one that’s at least 42 inches wide for sufficient running around space.
4. Protect With Cover
It goes without saying, that some rabbits just have too much energy. This is why you need a protective cover for your cage, especially if you have larger rabbits, ready to jump anytime. Save money by using standard cage panels for the cover.
5. Exercise Pen + Closet
Ever considered using 2 rooms for your rabbit’s cage? In this example, the tiny closet is used as a new space for the little friend or as an area for exercising. Consider the spaces in your home that you can repurpose similarly. A small closet is the best alternative to a full room dedicated to a rabbit, which may not always be available or even safe to explore.
6. Exercise pen + Hutch
An exercise pen and a hutch together? This sounds like an ideal setup that your rabbit will love. Kill boredom forever with this setup ideal for high-energy little fuzzy friends. The hutch in this example has multiple floors. LED lights are used to highlight it while a puppy pad with a carpet design is used to elevate the look of the floor.
7. Exercise Pen + Shelf
Repurpose an existing shelf to add storage space or room for new decor ideas. This setup has room for all of them, including a mood-setting lamp. A shelf may be installed by yourself or you can simply think about the areas around the house, such as the fireplace, where you can add the cage and use the shelf as an existing storage solution.
8. Smaller Cage as a Litter Box
Upgrading from a smaller cage? Don’t throw it away, repurpose it as a litter box in a larger setup. Save money and recycle your old small cage into a space for a new rabbit enclosure.
9. Double Exercise Pen
Two exercise pens together? Repurpose your old smaller cage to create a 2-in-1 or a double exercise pen just right to have more separate areas in the enclosure.
10. Acrylic Dog Playpen with Wooden Castle
Rabbit is a king, your home’s king. But a king needs his castle. Consider this paper castle setup with an acrylic dog playpen to have both a small retreat space and a play space. You can use cardboard to create your first DIY paper or even a wooden castle for your rabbit.
11. DIY Rabbit Cage
This DIY rabbit cage is all about creativity and uniqueness. Think about all of the materials you can use to create your rabbit’s own small home and patio inside of the cage. A hutch that is practical but that also looks inviting is hard to overlook for cuteness.
12. Custom Cage
This custom cage uses a wooden frame which means you can easily recreate it at home. Consider a shape that’s more creative, just like here, to avoid having the same simple square or rectangle setup. Also, make it longer than 30-40 inches for sufficient room per rabbit.
13. Handmade Wooden Cage
Consider this wooden handmade cage as a starting point for your creative enclosure. Add an elevated home for a bit more moving around and to separate the play and eating areas.
14. Rabbit Room
Ever thought about having an entire rabbit room? Spare rooms in the house can easily be transformed into play areas where you can pet your little friend all day, as often and as easily as you want. This example is all about the right toys, accessories, and decorations. Even the walls have rabbit-themed decor to elevate the look of the room and make it something straight out of pet lovers’ magazines.
15. Halloween Cage
Having a personalized cage is all about creativity. Halloween is always a good theme as you can get creative with decorations. Get your pumpkins ready. Also, consider carrots as the orange-themed setup, which is all about creativity and food that works great together.
16. Christmas Cage
Get the festive decorations out, it’s time to build your Christmas-themed rabbit cage. Use all of the Christmas tree decorations, including lights, to create your own. If you want to recreate this idea at scale, consider, not one, not two, but three hutches that maximize space and offer plenty of Christmas decor opportunities.
17. Cozy Enclosure
A bed? A relaxation area? Yes, a cozy rabbit enclosure is all about the relaxation ideas you can put into practice easily for your little furry friend. A cozy castle, a cozy bed, and a cozy floor are all about creating a space that feels as welcoming as possible.
18. White Rabbit Enclosure
White symbolizes purity and may be the ideal match for your white rabbit. A white cage looks great when combined with other white elements. A small little white home, a small little white bed, or a white liter box. They all look well-paired and thought out together.
19. LED Light
LED lights add a touch of personality even at night. Consider getting the type of lights that allow you to change colors. You can get a different mood this way and even see your way around when you want to pet your rabbit at night.
20. Tunnel
Ever considered adding a tunnel for your rabbit? Form straight to L-shaped tunnels, you can easily find your next one in the local pet store. Add new exploration spaces by combining tunnels that rabbits love to explore themselves.
21. Castle
Castles for rabbit cages look great on Instagram but they are typically a bit more difficult to create as DIY projects. The good news is you can find different types of wooden or plastic castles in pet stores. Buy your own or combine multiple smaller castes to create one large castle your rabbit will love to explore.
22. Handling the Mess With Kiddie Pool
Even the best rabbit cage still needs to be cleaned. The time it takes to clean is often too long for busy rabbit owners. This is why a kiddie pool is a great addition. It separates the litter box from the rest of the cage, making cleaning easier. Take the idea further with an absorbent puppy pad and odor-reducing pine pellets.
23. Large Litter Box
What about cage ideas when you house multiple bunnies? Save cleaning time by adding multiple little boxes. Have them in different areas of the setup so that each bunny has its own private space. Add wooden planks or absorbent puppy pads underneath each one to save time when cleaning the cage.
