So I finished building my new rabbit cage yesterday and got the rabbits moved in. This morning I noticed that there was a TON of poop and pee on the shelf. I do not think that Beauty was able to get down off of it on her own. I picked her up and put her on the ground level of the cage. After a couple of minutes she went right back onto the shelf. I have not seen her get down by herself yet. I gave her a litter box on the shelf which she is spending a lot of time in. A problem is that there is NO poop or pee in the box. I just gave her some cilantro (that I got less than 1 hr ago) and she ate it all really fast.
What should I do about this? The shelf is 1 grid up and covered in fleece. The floor of the main cage is wood covered in vinyl fabric that provides LOTS more traction than the coroplast in the previous cage.
The cage is a 4x2x4. Each rabbit has 1/2 of that so they each have a 4x2x2 (LxWxH). The shelf in each cage is 4 grids long (along the back of the cage) with 1 extra grid in the 2 front corners. That makes it so there is an area of 2x1 grids that is open to hop up to the next shelf and for streatching (both cages are just about identical minus a couple of minor placements of hay racks).
