Redesigned Cage Stand

We redesigned the cage support.  We wanted to be able to put tin above the bottom cages for run off.  When we redesigned the support, we were able to have the tin at an angle. 


We still need to add the correct tin.  This was a temporary mesure.  The tin will run from the front bottom rail to the rail in the back. 
The cages we use are ones we redesigned also.  The front isn't flat it has a 10 inch rise and a 14 in angle.  This let me put the lid in the angle piece.  The door opens out and can flip over the top of the cage to lay flat.  This allows for easier access to the bunnies.  And I can reach the back without having to crawl into the cage.
I found that the bunnies are not startled by opening the door out as they are when they open in.  The rabbits I have in cages that open it startle very easy and hate the way the door hits them.  Then they don't want to come towards the front.

The rabbits in the cages that open out will run to the opening when it's opened for attention.   They are very easy to take out.
