Mesh bottoms are bad for rabbits. Is the wire bottom removable ?

If you remove the clamps, and remove the piece and then re-build the cage. I just put in a piece of carpet for him to sit on and that gives him something to dig, scratch, and chew and a way to get off the mesh, and still keep him out of the mess of stinky pee and marbles.

No it is not, the mesh is small enough spacing that is fine for rabbits feet.

I think you could with wire cutters, but it might affect the structural integrity of the cage. The other issue is that it might leave sharp pointy wires if you clip out the bottom and don't sand them smooth.

Not nessesarily. The grate is bad for rabbits if you leave your rabbit caged everyday without exercise or play. Also if you provide a solid area for the rabbit such as cardboard or a straw mat he mainly stays on it by choice. But yes they are bad if it is the only surface your rabbit will be walking on all day every day. Think about it as you walking on gravel. If you have to walk on it only a bit everyday it doesn't make your feet sore but if it is all you walk on day and night then it will cause blisters on your feet.

Wire floors aren't necessarily bad for rabbits. Standing around in their own urine certainly is, it can 'burn' the pads of their feet. The wire flooring allows the urine to 'escape'. A better idea is to provide mats. These can be made of cardboard, woven grass etc. Also it's a good idea to invest in a play pen or something similar and let your rabbit have some time out on the ground & space to hop around.

No, it is not removable. We also have never had any problems with our bunnies on a mesh bottom. We do however also provide solid areas for her to stand in. This cage has been great!

No, the mesh bottom is not removable. We have never had a problem with mesh bottoms. This is our third bunny.

Hey Stacy,.. I am not too sure,as I have a family of 5 bunnies that reside in an extra large dog cage, so they have the bottom of that to protect their feet. I did purchase one of the Peter mats but my rabbits had it totally torn apart after a few days. They also were spoiled using it, as they got a bit lazy and urinated on it etc. But regardless, It is worth trying out for the price! Just try n make sure u get something that is ok for them to ingest, as having a new item in their area may cause them to nip at it etc. Unless u get another new chew toy in there at the same time,.. it may help distract him or her from the new 'carpet". Sorry I couldn't be of more help!!! Best of Luck, Kristi Hey Stacy,..

Hi Carmen, Not sure. I use it without the white wire bottom. I fill the blue bin with bedding and let my guinea pig run around in there. The wire bottom is not good for piggies. if you are going to use it for a rabbit, then the wire bottom is fine. The wire bottom fits into the blue bin. Now the bin is all plastic and does not feel secure until you slide the tray all the way in. Once it is, it is pretty good. I think the "manual" which really is just assembly instructions, said 2 rabbits? But that is from memory. Good luck!

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

The wire mesh is on all sides, including the lid. However, the bottom does not have mesh. It is open at the bottom.

There is nothing on the bottom level. Our bunnies dug out of it once and then we put a board down to prevent 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.

Yes, the bottom is attached! very easy to clean. My puppy and I love this playpen.

The wire floor itself is a completely separate piece so you have the option of just having the bottom tray as a floor. It's easier to clean if you have the wire floor in though, as you can completely pull out the bottom tray like a drawer and empty it. We have kept the wire floor in and our chinchilla does just fine with it.

The cage I have has a wire door that flips down. On mine, the only solid plastic is around the bottom.

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.

Yes there is a mesh top... It zips... You can remove it. In the description it tells you how big in dimensions... It is correct.

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.

The bottom does come out and they can sit directly on the pan. I fine the wire bottom rather annoying. But our ferret doesn't seen to mind.

if you mean the plastic pan..yes it is. I put it in the inside of the cage so bunny didn't have to walk on the wire.

It can, but my only concern would be in the nest box area. Mine had a particle board bottom and I think that might rot out if it gets too wet. Not sure how rabbits defecate (just pellet poop or with urine), but I'd either line and seal it or use a lot of bedding.

The bottom of the item is designed to fit over a post to secure the globe. The bottom of the globe is not flat. However, it appears strong enough to push it down into a reasonably soft ground to help stablize it. We have squirrels that take a great delight in knocking it over from our deck railing. Maybe rabbits are not as mischievious and the ground might stabilize it enough. Good luck.
