The story starts out with my little sister having 2 Males Rabbits and they both went missing but only found 1 so mum being mum got her another one which was to young to tell the sex of and of course turns out to be a girl.. Mum went to get one snipped and it's around 200 - 300 dollars to do so I said I'd build her a split cage if she buys me a welder and RHS for it. :):):) Best deal I ever made I reckon; and with my Staff discount at work it was a lot cheaper than desexing the rabbits and I gained a nice little Arc!

(Not finished yet last picture is of the cage upside down)

The chook wire is just for the floor to stop them digging out and will be covered with hay, that picture is the cage upside down. For the walls we had some random panels laying around so that's why the cage is built with sections that the panels fits into and is then wired and cable tied into place.

Yeh I have a Purebred Jack Russel that will take on dogs 4x it's size yet plays with the rabbits and would never harm them, go figure..

As for the honeymoon haha I allowed for some cuddle time in the closed off area using mesh instead of a solid wall, just hope they don't get freakily too creative ;)

My Jack Russell Alfie is trained for rabbits and he once grabbed a small fluffy puppy for a brief moment because he thought it was a rabbit.

To think the thousand or so rabbits I have shot as they are a plague on this country and then you go to the pet shop and buy them.....????

My dog will live with all animals including our chickens and ducks but as soon as he sees a rabbit it game on!!!

Rabbit yum yum!!!!

I love it..... we end up being the ones that look after the bloody things and even get too attached to them..

I actually love animals so much that I know I just dont let them into my life then I wont get suckered in !!!

My poor kids I had everything, rabbits, guinea pigs , blue tongues, dogs, cats ,horses ,pigeon ,turtle,fish, Now its the 2 dogs and nothing else.....

Your cage should be built on the design of Taj Mahal,as you mentioned in title " the Taj-Mahal "...
Any how it really sounds good that some one can love to this extent with his / her pets..Its amazing.

Fantastic looking cage, mate, but I reckon the buck will be driven a little bit nuts with the scent of a doe only inches away.
