We have since gotten rid of all of our rabbits except Chloe. Ironically, she has always been the biggest butt-head of all our rabbits. But we kept her for the strong sentimental attachment (I guess).
Chloe has lots of personality (definitely more than most Nebraskans I know), both for good and for eee-vil. She is very particular and has many bad habits. This weekend, we purchased her FIFTH cage in just over 3 years! Why, you ask? Because she doesn't cooperate. She is, as I eloquently conveyed above, a butt-head. Here are her cages and her problems with each (I know you care).
Number one is on the right (Rocky took over when Chloe decided to scoop her poop and pee out of the litter box and spread it all over her cage and the surrounding floor, as if treating her waste like a scented potpourri to bring charm to the house.)Number two is the one on the left, where Chloe is in this picture. This cage. though rugged and sturdy, turned out to be too small for such a fat rabbit, and didn't contain her excrement very well.
Her third cage we constructed ourselves, thinking we could make the perfect cage (after all, we knew what her mental problems were). We built a swanky singles duplex where they each had lots of private space to hang out, entertain company, smother poop in big nasty gobs across the entire floor, etc. It turned out to be too messy and rather unsightly in the living room.
Number four was this indoor/outdoor wooden hutch. Definitely the best one we had had at that point. The problem? She peed all over the small wooden area of floor behind the fold down ramp instead of in her litter box. The result? A persistent stench that would make even the grumpiest swamp toad beg for his mommy.
This is number five. Ain't she a beaut!! We'll see how long it lasts...

You crazy rabbit people. I didn't realize that you got rid of all your other rabbits. I think that green cage looks pretty cool though.
