Is this a suitable cage for a dwarf bunny?

dog crate 24 x 18 image

I have a "Super Pet, My First Home Cage" for a pet rat. It's about 24" by 11" by 14". Is this okay for a dwarf bunny with plans for expansion and a once a day muliple hour run around? I was planning on getting a run around pen and leaving the cage open to have access to it, also spending a few hours with my bunny each day holding him. Would this be okay? Or is it too small? I just want to know if it will work because I just upgraded my two rats to a larger cage and I have that nice cage thats only 3 months old. If it won't work, that's okay. I want the bunny to be happy and healthy. I can wait until I can get a larger cage if that's what is needed. Thanks!

Answer
No, it's really small. The first cage I had for my first bunny (also a dwarf) was a Super Pet and was 30 x 18" and it was far too small for her. She couldn't do anything in it. Check out large dog crates, dog exercise pens, or build an NIC (also called C&C) cage. Here's a link to a cage I built for two dwarf hotots:

They're easy to build, less expensive than pet store cages, and can be built to fit in the space you have. The cage in my picture cost $40 to build. Here's some good sites to check out:

You've already posted this question. I guess a lot of people didn't know what a Jackawawa was. :P

Well, I'll just repeat what I said in my other answer:
I think a 24"L x 18"W x 21"H should do. If it is a puppy, still get that size and just use a crate divider to make the space smaller, and move it as they grow.
