Bunny castles

The castles are modular on purpose. Most people start with one and rearrange it two or three times before the layout settles. That's the intended use, not indecision.

Cleaning and care

Start low. A rabbit that has never used a raised level will use a single storey immediately and a tall stack slowly. Build it low for the first week, then add height once they are going in and out without hesitating.

Two exits beat one. Rabbits are prey animals and a space with a single opening is a dead end to them. Where the layout allows, leave two ways in. It makes the difference between a castle they hide in and one they live in.

Where the levels go. Put the resting level at the top and the open space underneath. Rabbits prefer to rest somewhere with a roof over it and a view out, and the ground level then stays useful for hay and movement.

Cleaning. Dry brush first, then warm water and diluted white vinegar on the surfaces that need it. Take the modules apart every few months and clean the joins, which is where hay dust and urine build up out of sight.
