Rabbit platforms and ladders: viewing area, resting place and safe access to the enclosure

Why rabbit platforms are so popular

Rabbits love a clear view. A rabbit platform is a favorite spot for many animals to perch up high, survey their surroundings, and then relax. It not only makes their habitat more enjoyable but often more practical as well: a difference in height provides variety and maximizes the available space.

When is a ladder or bridge useful?

Rabbits can usually jump quite well, but not every rabbit jumps with equal ease. A rabbit ladder or bridge is especially useful for:

• Young rabbits that still need to grow and coordinate
• Older rabbits that have difficulty jumping
• Entry and exit from a shelter, night shelter or higher platform
• Smooth surface where you prefer a safe, gradual step

Willow bridge: flexible, natural and multifunctional

We deliberately included the willow bridge in this category because it can be used in multiple ways. By bending the bridge differently, you can create one, for example:

• bridge over a low opening or corner
• steps to a plateau
• small (lying) platform or "chill spot"
• playful tunnel shape

This way you can easily alternate with one product, without immediately having to renovate the entire enclosure.

Which platforms and ladders can you find in this category?

Our range includes wooden platforms , steps , ladders , bridges , and willow bridges in various sizes. These allow you to both smarten up a compact space and enhance a spacious one.

• Plateaus – viewing area, resting place and extra living space
• Ladders/steps – safe access to height differences
• Bridges – playful climbing and connecting zones
• Willow bridges – flexible shapes (bridge/stairs/platform)

Practical tips for a good setup

• Stable placement: always place platforms securely or secure them properly so they do not shift.
• Logical walking route: combine platform and step, so that your rabbit can easily get on and off.
• Comfort: If necessary, place a soft mat or fleece blanket on a resting platform (especially indoors).
• Variety: vary the height and shape to keep the stay interesting.
