Since separating myy rabbits my life has been hell. Any CHEAP way to give them separate space? Right now I have those little metal cubes made into small cages about 3 feet long x 12 inches wide x 2 feet high, I will either have to get another set and make it bigger or find a way to get an affordable set up.

consider getting a play pen ( those that are used for dogs), it offers a wide space for your rabbits + it is quite affordable.

hmm, how do you keep them from jumping over it? My girl lop can clear 4 feet easily, I have a hard time keeping her IN things lol.

Get a nice tall one. They make those up to 6 feet high.

I think the cubes are probably the cheapest way to go. If the enclosure has to be exceptionally tall (like 4 feet) it might be worth it to go with the puppy exercise pen panels instead. I have my younger rabbit in the puppy pen, and my 11 year old rabbit lives in a large cage made of cubes. Previously though, he could jump nearly anything and had to live in a puppy pen. Only in his old age can he not jump the 2 foot wall (well, the 28 inch wall, my cubes are 14 inches each). You could see if anyone has used cubes or something. Sometimes people get too many and then will sell them cheap. I used to have more cages, so I have enough cubes here to make like 20 guinea pig cages or probably 7 rabbit cages.
