About
Hello. My name is Priscilla, and I’m a Rex.
As the larger and more beautiful of the two rabbits in our house, I recently oversaw the construction of a fine condo that I now share with my partner, Red. This web site documents the building of our condo, to help other rabbits have as nice a place to live as we have. By the way, that’s my picture in the top left corner.
Salad Lady and Tall Guy shot video footage while they were making the condo, and Tall Guy edited it into a video, which he also narrated. You can watch the rabbit condo video on YouTube.
Besides giving more details that didn’t fit into the video, this website also has other important information, such as how to support Vancouver Rabbit Rescue and Advocacy (VRRA), the kind people who rescued me and cared for me until I was adopted.
Hopefully, Salad Lady will write an article about rabbit bonding, because every rabbit should have at least one other rabbit in their life. But bonding rabbits is a tricky business. Fortunately, Salad Lady and her friends have learned a lot about bonding, so I hope they will share those ideas on this website.
As well, I want to include links to other sources for information about how to care for house rabbits. We’re very different from dogs and cats, you know. Some of us may look cuddly and adorable, but we’re not stuffed toys. We have unique care requirements, and too many of my fellow lagomorphs aren’t as lucky as Red and me.
So, although this may be called the “Build a Rabbit Condo” web site, most likely it will grow to include other information.
P.S. My email address is: info “at” rabbitcondo.com.

First off, I want to start by saying: THANK YOU!
Without your fantastic instruction, Muppet (our magpie harlequin) would not have the wonderful new home that he does. Of course, he hasn’t been introduced quite yet. I wanted to send you a ‘thanks’ after seeing the results upon our completion of the NIC condo.
Your youtube video was great! It was clear, concise, and very specific upon the plans for building the cage. What a great way to help others learn what rabbits need in regards to housing (especially because it’s fairly cheap to do–I’ve seen manufactured condos starting at $300!).
If you would like me to email a picture of our completed cage, let me know. You’re more than welcome to use it for your site!
Once again, your help is greatly appreciated.

Where did you buy those NIC cubes? We cannot find them online or in stores.
The ones we used were not genuine “Neat Idea Cube” brand, but essentially the same thing.
We bought ours at the local Home Depot, as stated on the list of materials
