with this cage do you put bedding for rabbit? if so how does the poop fall to the tray?if you don't put bedding isnt the wire floor uncomfortable

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.

We used a mat in both the cages that have wire floors and the ones that were solid floors. They don't last long as the bunnies love to chew on them.

I used this cage for my Lionhead Bunny and he had a small litter pan and also had a small box for his bed. This helps keep the area a bit cleaner in my opinion. The bottom tray slides out for cleaning purposes.

I'm not sure if you "have to" use bedding, but I do. I've always used the fleece bedding with my Guins and still do it with this cage. I put puppy pee pads under the fleece and my guins also have a litter box which they use most of the time. The canvas is pretty thick and it's almost like plastic. Mine had a few stains on it within the first 2 weeks, so I'm guessing the pee was absorbed but it didn't go through it

The grate should be removed for the rabbit's sake. If the cage is cleaned regularly, there won't be any messy feet to deal with.

No it doesn't which I was worried about but my rabbit is doing great with her litter box being on the ground floor then food And water up top. My only complaint is this cage is too small. Needs to be twice as deep.

If you have a small rabbit it's perfect pairing with a rabbit fence enclosure. I did take the grate top off the litter box....my rabbit is completely potty trained.

I am sorry we just got a new one a couple weeks ago, I no longer have the base, our rabbit dug so much she put a hole in it. it was fairly deep, however she still threw bedding on the floor so we ran the stuff you put over eve troughs to keep the leaves out around the upper part of the base to stop the bedding.

I am using one right now but it is under a nest box to keep the young in the nest warm. If you were to use it just on a cage floor you might want to watch closely to see that the rabbit didn't chew on it. I have not heard any pad owners say they chew on it just one did chew the coating off the metal ring that protects the cord.

They sit in the poop tray... Best to train ur bunny and set him up a "bathroom" bin for easier cleaning and bunny hygiene.

I don't think so because I don't think rabbits climb, a rabit may need a bottom where the poop falls into a tray. This is a superb cage for many small animals....maybe not a rabbit.

Bedding could be an issue- I keep my litter pan inside of the cage and bedding gets kicked out all the time. The floor of the cage is wire unless you put the black bottom (litter pan) inside. Don't know if that helps.

There is a slight space between the tray and the cage where my chinchilla managed to keep escaping. I think with a rabbit and its size that you might be okay.

I don't own it any more to measure it. Our dog died. Although I can tell you that it is not the bar spaces that would be a problem foe rabbits. You need a tray that is located under a wire bottom for rabbits unless you have time to clean it daily. If not you will quickly get maggots and flies. And if they sit in their own waist, the maggots will enter the rabbits back end. I tried using a litter box in a cage for a rabbit once and that happened to my rabbit.

there's a top level & you can close it off from the bottom. the nesting box is on that level too. the bottom has a ramp that goes up to that top level which is where the level door is .so the only bad thing about the top level is the tray has to be pulled out to clean whereas the bottom is a screen that we nailed on because we didn't want to rest it on the ground. that way it could be used for a second rabbit. we also added legs so it could be off the ground. we are happy with it & you should be able to put 2 bunnies in there.

The urine guard consists of the black pieces. The cage is extra. I really like the whole set up- cage with easy to change tray & urine guard. I suggest 2 urine guards in case your rabbit decides the other end of the cage is a better place to go!

Rabbit cages usually allow droppings to fall through so they are not standing I them. I would buy a rabbit cage for a rabbit. This is a wonderful cage for ferrets.
