I experimented earlier today, using a wok lid - about 40cm diameter. To hold a 
lavalier mic in position, I fixed an elastic band around the knob/handle, and 
stretched it around the lid; not only did it hold the mic in position, it also 
isolated it from handling noise.

The results were pleasing. I was able to hear what my son was saying through 
double glazing. With a little refinement - better mic and careful mic 
positioning - I'm sure the results would be better still.

There is a parabolic lampshade above above the rabbits' living quarters, so I 
could possibly use that rather than suspending an additional contraption above 
them.
