Does anyone have issues with tipping over? I'm considering this for a 9-lb bunny and I'm afraid she will tip it over.

I have put this into a "dog-proof" storage bench, so there is no way it can tip over. Eli weighs 8.5 pounds and I can not see him being able to tip it over.

I do not have any issues with tipping over, however, if you encounter the problem, I would suggest drilling 2 small holes in the high side and attach the box to an exercise pen or whatever caging you use, with 2 shower curtain hooks. Make sure the box is not treated or impregnated with Microban, which is very toxic to rabbits. Some manufacturers use it to contain odor, but rabbits may chew the rim of the box and ingest it. I found the large boxes at Tractor Supply and they are chemical free and Amazon may offer some sellers too.

I have gotten in and tried to tip it over and found it very difficult. This thing is built like a tank. I have recently purchased a second so I have one for each of my littles.

It totally won't break, but your cat might not feel super secure. My guy is probably only 9.5 lbs, and there's no shaking at all when he sits on it or jumps around, but I can tell the top level makes him a bit nervous...even when he does go up there, it seems like it feels wobbly to him.

Would be nearly impossible for a cat to tip the machine over. It has a large, stable footprint and is bottom-heavy with the mechanics, even when using the expanded food container. To get the top off, a cat would need opposable thumbs about six years of intense training with an animal behaviorist.

The latches aren't very sturdy, so I would suggest you put your own additional latch to make sure your rabbits can't get out. Or better yet, I'd suggest buying a different hutch! I ended up returning mine because it was just plain cheap

I have not had any problems with that. My cats are notorious for tipping the litter box over when I had a smaller one with shorter walls. This one has been fine.

I've found it to be very stable and our bunny loves it. The panels have long stakes on the ends which you simply push into the ground. It hasn't fallen down or even leaned. We're very happy with it.

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

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.

My cat is only 9 months old, and she is svelte but it seems sturdy enough. I use the top platform for feeding so my dogs don't get to her snacks. If your cat is rough and flies across the room to land on it, I might brace it against a wall. The dangling mouse became her favorite toy, even after she tore it off its bungee. I have just tied new ones on.

My 18 month old godson is very active and is constantly trying to move around in it and so far it hasnt tipped over. Seems pretty sturdy. Hope this helps.

I have not had any issue with this tipping over and I have a very wild 4 year old. I use this indoors only and don't secure it down. It might slide around a little bit but nothing big. We really enjoy this but if you have older kids 6,7,8 get a bigger one. This is perfect for my 4 year old and two other similar aged kids :) I hope that helps answer your questions.

We are quite elderly, but we have used this item now for a couple of months and have not had a tip over problem. However, it is not anchored to the floor, so I suppose one might be able to tip it under unusual circumstances, such as falling and grasping a handle for a sidewise support. We also added a seat riser to the commode, which helps us rise to a standing position easily. Hope this helps.

Hi there,Thanks for your input. We ended up buying this rocker for our baby before he was born (he's now 9 months, so it's all packed away now). We loved it! We had no problems with it tipping. It's funny to see that I was so worried about it in my third tri-mester state :-)

We haven't had a problem with it tipping but my son is only 35 lbs. I think the weight limit is 80 lbs for this trampoline so maybe an older/heavier child might make it unstable.

My Pom is older (15) and also likes to "nest". Since she only weighs 8 pounds, she hasn't been able to do any damage. The surface is pretty smooth, so it is hard for her to get a hold with her nails.

Yes a cat can tip it over. I have not found an way to easily add weight to the base. We just keep ours near a corner so if it gets pushed hard it is most likely to hit a wall. Our cat only pushes it over once every other month. She tips it all the time to shake food out of it. But that seems to entertain her enough to keep her comming back and only tipping out two or three pieces at a time.
