Creating a cozy and engaging playpen area for your bunny is not only a fun project but also an essential part of ensuring your pet's happiness and well-being. When setting up your bunny playpen, it's important to choose items that cater to their natural instincts, providing both safety and stimulation. From soft bedding and chew toys to tunnels and hideaways, the right accessories can transform a simple space into a bunny paradise, where they can hop, explore, and relax in comfort. Here are some of our favorite things in starting a bunny playpen area...
Wired Bunny Play Pen - Amazon
This modern, white wire playpen is an inexpensive and great way to start your bunny area in safety and style. The upgraded structure features encrypted metal wire panels with narrow spacing to prevent small pets from getting stuck or escaping, while still providing ample ventilation. Designed for rabbits and other small animals, this playpen is versatile and can be used in various spaces like the living room, bedroom, or by a window.
The DIY design allows you to customize the shape and size according to your needs. Made with thick metal wire panels, high-quality ABS connectors, and equipped with cable ties and anti-slip pads, it’s both durable and easy to assemble. The playpen is also expandable and portable, allowing you to easily increase its size or move it around as needed.
Acrylic Bunny Play Pen - Clearly Loved Pets
Bunny rabbits are very popular house pets, and they love to chew! A free roaming bunny is usually a happy bunny, but if not supervised they can chew electrical wires, toxic plants, phone and computer cords, all of which are dangerous to their health. They also can make a very expensive chew toy out of your carpets, moldings, furniture, and drywall. An unsupervised bun can be a danger to themselves and your home!
We love the sleek, modern design of this acrylic playpen, featuring a swinging door and high sides that allow you to add height or tall bunny furniture inside your bunny’s play area. Its clear panels offer an unobstructed view, blending seamlessly into your home while providing a secure, stylish space for your bunny to explore and enjoy.
Bunny Pen & Cage Liner - Amazon
This bunny pen and cage liner features 4.3-inch leakproof vertical sides, preventing urine, feces, hay, and food from spilling out of the cage. It’s easy to clean and reusable—simply remove the pad using the magic tape, empty the debris, and wipe or rinse it clean. The liner is easy to install with magic tape, securely fixing it to the cage to prevent shifting. Designed for 12-inch grid cages, its 23.6 x 47-inch size is perfect for a 2x4 panel C&C cage. Convenient and stable, it keeps your pet’s habitat clean and tidy.
ROOLY - XL Rabbit Litter Box 26.5''W x 19"D x 7.5"H
ROOLY is the largest litter box for rabbits/bunnies in the market.
ROOLY litter box has ample room for two rabbits and larger rabbit breeds. We recommend small hole grate unless you have giant breed bun(s). Poops would fall through and less hay waste.
Heightened Grate sits 3.5" above floor.
XL Bunny Litter Box - Amazon 22.4"L x 17.9"W x 3"H
This rabbit litter pan, made from durable PE material, is perfect for Holland Lop bunnies. It’s easy to clean and includes a mini dustpan broom set for quick waste removal.

Kaytee Critter Litter - Potty Training
Critter Litter is an all-natural, non-toxic litter made from 100% bentonite and enriched with natural minerals, making it completely safe for your pet. This highly absorbent product soaks up moisture on contact and controls waste odors, absorbing up to 10 times its weight in liquid. At Talia's Tails we recommend starting with Critter Litter in your litter box as part of a potty training program. Critter Litter can reduce cage cleaning by 30% or more. Ideal for holland lop bunnies, it’s the perfect choice for keeping your buns habitat clean and fresh.
Training a bunny to use a litter box typically takes a few weeks. Start by placing a litter box in the corner of your bunny’s cage or play area, as rabbits naturally prefer to eliminate in a corner. Use a safe, absorbent litter like Critter Litter. Observe where your bunny tends to go and adjust the box’s position if needed. Encourage use by placing hay, food, and water in or near or over the box. Reward your bunny with treats or praise when they use it. With patience and consistency, your bunny should regularly use the litter box within a few weeks.

Bunny Hay Feeder
This hay feeder is designed to keep your rabbit's cage tidy and organized. This hay feeder holds enough hay to prevent it from falling onto the ground, reducing waste and keeping the hay clean and fresh. The hay feeder is easily installed on a wire or acrylic cage with either the rotating buttons and/or suction cups, making it adjustable, stable, and easy to clean, ensuring a mess-free and efficient feeding system.
Timothy Hay
At Talia's Tails, we start our newborn and younger bunnies on alfalfa hay, which is rich in protein and calcium, providing essential nutrients for their growth and development. As they mature, we transition them to timothy hay, which is higher in fiber and lower in calcium. This shift supports healthy digestion, helps maintain proper weight, and promotes natural tooth wear. By carefully balancing their diet with these hays, we ensure our Holland Lops grow into healthy, active, and happy bunnies.
For the best value, you can purchase quality timothy hay from Mary's Tack & Feed and/or Hawtorne Country Store ensuring it's green and fresh. Store it in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or breathable bag to maintain its quality. Proper feeding and storage ensure your Holland Lop enjoys a balanced, healthy diet.
Automatic 3L Pet Waterer, Gravity Water Dispenser
At Talia's Tails we love this 3L water dispenser. This water dispenser provides a steady supply of water through gravity, making it perfect for bunny owners who have busy schedules. The transparent exterior allows easy monitoring of water levels, and refilling is simple—just remove the bucket, fill it, and place it back on the base. The upgraded, raised base prevents leaks and spills, while the non-slip design keeps it stable. Made from high-quality, food-grade PP material, it’s safe, durable, and easy to clean, ensuring a healthy and hassle-free drinking experience for your bun.
Dremel Lite 7760 N/10 4V Li-Ion Cordless Rotary Tool
Using a Dremel to trim your bunny’s nails is essential for their comfort and health, preventing overgrowth that can cause discomfort, injury, or damage to your home. The Dremel offers precise control, reducing the risk of cutting the quick and ensuring smooth, snag-free nails that are less likely to scratch people, wood floors, or furniture. To trim, use a fine-grit sanding drum and gently hold your bunny, extending the nails for visibility. Trim in short bursts, stopping just before the quick, and reward your bunny for staying calm. Trimming every 4-6 weeks keeps nails at a healthy length, prevents scratching, and promotes overall paw health.
