What do you use for the lower run on the right so rabbits don't urinate when indoors? Is there a tray?

no tray on the lower right, our hutch is outdoors, so it has a 1/4" mesh floor.

You must use tin baking tray in corner with litter for rabbits. I use mine for my indoor cats who have an escape hatch to go in and out thru a basement window! Safe cats!

We built an extension to this house and we have ours outdoors ! You could put it on small stilts and attach a tray which would work

We have the hutch outside the bottom right it's actually a run it does not have a bottom to it and is right on the grass. my husband ended up putting in a piece of metal wire underneath the ground so that the rabbits couldn't dig their way out

There is no tray, but you could easily make one.. Ours is indoors and our rabbit only urinates inside where the shavings are.

Hello,There is not a tray for the far right pen. I use mine outdoors. To help with cleaning I line the two inside trays with puppy pads to absorb urine and for easy disposal. In regard to the far right pen you could get turf or plastic grass to go under it. It has a good barrier and is easy to clean with rinsing/washing.

I have never used this for rabbits but did have a rabbit that used a regular litter box. My suggestion would be to buy just a bag of the pellets and make sure the rabbit does not try to chew on them and uses the box normally. If so, this system would be ideal. Scooping their solids might be a bit challenging as their solids are very similar in size and shape to the pellets. I cannot say how much we are pleased with ours. The urine collection system is unlike any other and it truly works. Best of luck!

Our bunnies generally eat the grass mats (or shred) and/or poop on them, so they don't last very long. The best thing to use to protect their feet are plastic cage mats which you can put over the wire. They have big enough slots to let the urine and some of the poop go through. You can also clean them pretty easily. I don't know if they have them online, but I found them at Quality Cage in Portland, Oregon.

You could put a small litter box (12x12 inch max) in there but it would be crowded. Also, the wire mesh floor fits into the black pan. Which slides into two rails under the cage. So if you don't use the wire mesh/pan, you won't have a floor and the rabbits can get out. We have two large Californian rabbits in ours, which is pretty crowded. But the door is open and they roam freely during the day. They are put in at night and we have had no problems.

It would be a little work but you would have to attach metal wiring and a catch tray. The. You would have to put some legs on It to make the tray removable. That is unless you have your rabbit potty trained.

Are you putting lots of hay on the platform? I found that putting hay closer to the litter area helps. Buns love to eat hay and use the litter tray at the same time. I also always pick up any mistakes right away and put them in the litter box.

Best thing for "high peers" is the Clever Cat top entry litter box. My cats had no trouble adapting to them and now there is never any pee outside the litterbox. I had previously used the Boodha dome and that was terrible ... they would pee right over the steps and the pee would collect at the bottom. Disgusting. The only solution I've found is the top entry box. Good luck!

I only use bedding in the bottom pan, we do not put bedding on the wire rack. My bunny has no problem with her feet hurting on the wire, but I do make sure she has a bed to lie on if she wants. I really like this cage because the bottom pan is so deep and the poo does not overflow. I also don't recommend putting bedding where your bunny can sit in its own urine since they can get a parasite that could come from sitting in its urine. You can also put hay on the wire to help the bunnies feet.

I'm not sure, all I know is rabbits usually poop catty corner to their water source. So you may try moving the water source.

There are two doors one is above the other in the front of the cage. Don't know much about rabbits but I would say they may need a ramp to get into the cage.

Hello. My rabbit has never jumped over this nor has he been able to squeeze underneath. I attached this to his cage (the bars on the cage run vertical) and keep the cage door open so he can run around whenever he wants. Hope this helps.

I have a rabbit in mine, but here is my thought:You can use the cage without the grate, though the blue pan is pretty deep. You could also try to cover it with linoleum. Just make sure not to leave edges exposed for them to nibble on. If you did that you would have to do something to prevent urine and feces from running off the floor and out of the cage.

They eat this mat. It's just made of straw out hay. I have a rabbit house wooden. I doubt believe they need to protect their feet. Mine she's fine on the wire bottom part. He sleeps on the wood side . 5 yrs now and he's fine.

Actually the beauty of the system are the pre=packed trays which are sold with the system and as replacements. Honestly, even though the base of the tray is a laminated chip board paper, i wouldn't keep it around for use with another litter. Eventually the urine will permeate the paper tray.In this case: Use as directed is a good path to follow.

the casters have locks on them-but could be removed to then have metal legs. But, I bought this crate because it is am ideal height to enjoy my rabbit, clean his cage, feed him without looking up or down too much or bend over or reach up too much with the crate just on the floor.. To clean the cage the bottom tray slides out and this is at a pretty good height from the floor, the top which opens up is still not too high to reach to say put hay into it, and the side door is a good level to open to replace water/food or to pet my rabbit. I find that the cages' wheels slide nicely on the floor when I want to move it say to sweep or vacuum under neath it. the casters have locks on them-but could be removed to then have metal legs.

The top and bottom both have sliding doors that lead into the joined pen. Rabbits are pretty smart especially when they want to breed. I would add a little latch on the sliding doors if you want to make sure they are separated. We also built a lean-to onto our garage to keep the hutch out of the rain and brushed it with water sealer. Looks brand new still. This is the best one we found, it's very good quality for a good price. We have one big rabbit in ours and leave the sliding doors open. With the doors open he goes out in the pen to potty and then you can use the blower to blow it clean and add new wood chips, lol. Makes it much easier.

I have mine inside a pen, so she can not only run around in the rabbit hutch, but has more room . I would not leave it in there all day , everyday, make a pen around the outside so it has more room
