Lap bun

She likes to climb up and jump down from my lap when I was sitting in a pen. It's like my lap is her favorite toy to play! She does not forget to lick my arms or foot during this play.

We are still fighting with parasites. Today, she was not happy when I approached her cage, she knew it's time for medicine. She thumped and did not come out!


According to wikipedia,
"Eimeria is a genus of Apicomplexan parasites that includes various species responsible for the poultry disease coccidiosis."

There are not too much information about Eimeria in house rabbit websites, but we can find a lots about coccidia. To kill oocysts, ammonia is the best. So I bought ammonia (which is hard to find) at the Wal-mart, and toss the carpet rug in the play area and installed vinyl (from Home Depot) so that we can wipe the playarea and cage.
Poochie is having hard time to run around on the vinyl since it's very slippery for her.
We put newspapers for her until she get used to it.

I did extensive search for a perfect playpen:

- Midwest Exercise pen 24" high - Opening space is too big, around 40 dollar + shipping or local store $64

- All Living Things® Small Animal Playpen, 24" high, $41 but shipping is too expensive

-Marshall Pet Small Animal Pen "29 high, it's too high.... $69 at local store or $40 + shipping.
So, I decided to add something to the current playpen to prevent Poochie from sticking her face out.
I made trip to the Dollar Tree, and bought 5 sets of wire cooling rack. Total: $5

Then, I made rings from #18 nickel wire using a jewelry plyer to attach them to the pen.

It was great success since it does not look bad and the pen can be still foldaway.

In search of playpen

We use our handmade playpen made from wire shelf system.
We connected the wire panels of 14" (which was on sale at Walmart like $15) with book binder coils ($.15 each from school supply store).
We even painted the wire panels with bamboo color so that it looks nice!

Our late rabbit liked it except he moved it with his mouth and escaped.
We had to tie the ends to the cage so that it will not move open.

Anyways, to our surprise, this baby rabbit also do the same thing.
She tries to move the panel by her mouse exactly the same way!

But there is a more serious problem.
Since she has such a small head she can stick her head through the wire opening completely!
It freaks me out since she may be stuck in there, and panic and choke someday.

We started to look for a better playpen with smaller openings. I found a couple of them they all not in desirable size (or color).


I found this one, which is 29 inch tall and it was too tall. I want to touch her while sitting down outside of the cage.

The ideal size is around 18" high and there is one in the Petco but it has still wide openings and too heavy to move it around.
