Will it sit flat on the ground without a post or hanging? How stable is it? I am thinking of using one for my rabbits, they prefer bowls to bottles.

Probably a great idea. I just went outside to experiment, the water reservoir was only about 1/4 full, and it would be stable with the weight of an average rabbit with its feet on one bowl! When full it would be even more so. When almost empty, probably less so. Using it that way, the actual bowls would be an inch or so off the ground.

It will sit flat and is quite stable when filled with a lot of water. Watering sections will then be about 3 inches off the ground/floor. Sounds like a good idea as long as they don't chew. Good luck!

The bottom of the item is designed to fit over a post to secure the globe. The bottom of the globe is not flat. However, it appears strong enough to push it down into a reasonably soft ground to help stablize it. We have squirrels that take a great delight in knocking it over from our deck railing. Maybe rabbits are not as mischievious and the ground might stabilize it enough. Good luck.

The stand is metal, so unless the animals are bored or hungry, probably not. The bin is up off the ground by about 2 feet or more. We haven't had any problems like that, but we're not in a rural location. Good luck.

We had it on our patio hanging from a hook. You could hang it from a tree which the birds might prefer. We used grape jelly in the little divits you can see on top, so we needed it flat. Hope that helps.

Yes. It is clipped on to the cage and doesn't tip over. You put the pellets and earthy greens in the bottom feeder and timothy hay in the back. It is a very clean way to feed your bunnies.

It might be, but a better one would be perhaps a rabbit hutch (new if you can afford it, used if you can't, or homemade, and with a solid rather than mesh floor) so that they would be above ground. There's plenty of room inside this, but not a good way to allow access and too much wasted space unless you put tiers inside it. Better for cats than rabbits, anyway -- rabbits should *not* be kept outside!!!

It is not real sturdy on the cage. If your pet steps on it, will likely tilt or come off the crate. It attaches to the crate by two inverted "V" hooks and basically sits on a rung on the crate. I love this bowl for water for my Pomeranian on trips. It works perfectly for us. If your pet climbs on things and digs around in bowl, may not be ideal from a sturdiness standpoint.

Mine is just sitting on the porch. My dogs have never turned it over. The only thing I have done for mine is my oldest dog was having problems bending down to eat. I went to a metal fabrication shop and had them build me a stand to put the feeder in to raise the height up. I would worry about putting holes in it that rain might get the food damp. If you cover it though it should be fine.

I don't think it's sturdy enough to carry the rabbit in. It's fine for the car while it's in a stationary position but I wouldn't carry my pet in it.

The legs spread nice and wide so it would take a lot of effort to tip it sideways and the feet on the legs prevent it from tipping backward or forward. I have three cats, one of which would occasionally attempt to get into it, and never had any worries that they would knock it over.

NO! It is not sturdy enough I bought for my rabbit and when I tried that it fell over.

It will sit up on it's own. FYI: if you are using it as a mailbox it has to be mounted. Our postman told us he would stop delivering our mail with the box on the ground.

Sorry, there's a couple of conflicting answers here, how much gap is there between the bottom and the ground? I want to find a way to secure it to the ground so it doesn't walk off like my last one. I was thinking of getting one of those cork screw things they use for dog chain and attaching it with a chain. Not 100% foolproof but hopefully enough of a deterrent. Just need to know if there's enough room under this to do that.

Yes, it should be heavy enough for a rat to not tip over. It's also quite low to the ground and the legs spread widely so it's quite steady. Hope this helps!

it is probably flat enough....i do not put the food near the house so as not to attract other animals towards it though.

The hooks position is not really not a big issue to me. I'm happy using this cage for my bunnies. I like the mobile wheels part to move the cage in the house easily.

It isn't secured by anything to the ground but the shape and heaviness of it makes it hard to move. I put my dog and cat in there and it never moves. Maybe put a couple of heavy toys or items in it if worried. Great playhouse! They use it all the time and even indoors.

They include 2 stakes so you can pin it to the ground if needed and I doubt it is tall enough to tip over since it is quite wide. It may be annoying since the bottom is mesh their nails can get stuck so we put a blanket in the bottom. Also since our cats have not gotten used to it yet they have no issues in wanting to leave but it is not difficult to climb halfway in and grab them if needed.
