🔧 Quick Facts
What it is: A modular C&C style metal wire enclosure for indoor/outdoor use.
Dimensions: 48" x 24" footprint with 16" tall panels.
Material: Coated iron mesh panels with ABS plastic connectors.
Brand: VISCOO.
Compatibility: Best for rabbits that do not jump over low barriers or for young kits.
📐 Dimensions and configuration
The standard assembly creates a space measuring 48 inches long by 24 inches wide. The panels stand only 16 inches high, which is a critical consideration for active rabbits.
The modular nature allows you to snap the 12 panels into different shapes, though the included floor mat is sized specifically for the 48x24 rectangle. The mesh spacing is approximately 0.5 inches, preventing small paws or heads from getting stuck.
🪵 Material and durability
The panels are constructed from coated steel wire designed to withstand chewing. The connectors are made of ABS plastic, which requires firm seating during assembly to ensure the structural integrity of the pen.
The included floor mat is made of heavy-duty 600D Oxford cloth with a PVC waterproof lining. This fabric is wear-resistant and features 4.7-inch high sides to contain hay and localized spills.
💡 Assembly and maintenance tips
Assembly requires slotting the circular corners of the metal panels into the ABS connectors. You must use the provided wooden hammer to tap connectors until they click fully into place, or the structure will be unstable.
Use the included nylon zip ties to reinforce every joint between panels for added safety. To clean the floor mat, wipe the PVC interior with a damp towel; the mat should be placed with the 12-inch sides facing down according to the brand's instructions.
🐇 Is this playpen necessary?
This is a helpful tool for owners who need a temporary, waterproof area for floor time or a protected space for small kits. It is a nice-to-have secondary enclosure but may not replace a permanent tall-walled x-pen for larger rabbits.
When to buy: If you need a portable travel pen or a floor protector for a specific exercise area.
When to skip: If your rabbit is a known jumper, as most adults can easily clear a 16-inch fence.
