Thought I'd show what type of habitats I've had and now have!

When I had Kokanee and Kahlua only we had this:

Then we brought home Rupert making one pair plus one-so we made (rather-Dave made) a condo!

Top level

Mid level

ANd the bottom level for Rupert

When Kokanee passed away, Rupert and Kahlua bonded and we opened all three levels into one and they shared the whole condo

They were really good about toilet habits and not being destructive so on top of the condo we allowed them free range, with several 'bunny stations' (food/water/toys/litterbox) around the house for them-and added Chuck to the mix

(Terrible focus but cute pic)

Then we added Noot and had two seperate pairs for a few weeks while we moved. We achieved this by giving Noot and CHuck the top level of the condo and Rupert and Kahlua continued free range-except when Noot and Chuck got out time.

When we moved we set up our final 'set up'-they now have their own bedroom -seperated so each pair has privacy, and get their special out time (Rupert and Kahlua outdoors or family room, Chuck and Noot couch time)

Interesting evolution. I think the best feature of your latest habitat is the big window, and that it's walk-in for humans!

Funny, my rabbits went the opposite way, from room to condo. I was very worried they might slip out of the room unnoticed and get into trouble, and I built a condo in my room. It took up too much space. During bonding I moved them into the basement for neutral territory which I got to liking because I don't have to vacuum, sweeping does the job. Plus, I get better sleeps without the noises from them.

K&K - can you cover the bottom grids of the double divider section with something (choroplast?) to prevent the hay + fur getting in there or would it block or their view too much? Rooms are so much easier to clean up. More space to clean but easy to whip thru. I was hoping to see the rabbit skywalk. Have you posted pics of that?

I gotta say, though the condos look trickier to clean I bet the rabbits like them. They seem more warren-like with nooks and crannies to hang out in. Good use of space and the bunnies can get exercise to going up and down levels.

Awww thanks for reminding me!!

Here's the only mod I've done-rabbit skywalk (mini) window seat

And yes, that's a table cloth we put up for a curtain LOL

It's Ruperts favorite spot

Jersey, that was exactly why I never wanted one but now since I got into them, I find cleaning can be just as easy if you build it right. I didn't have a lot of floor space so my condo is tight for a person. I made the wide wall of shelves movable to open for cleaning.  I needed a lot of extra connectors to do it which I got from ebay. There were enough connectors left for me to make a large split top so no more head-bonking!!

Next phase of evolution for K&K:

K&K and Dave move into NIC condo in closet, Noot and Chuck get the kitchen (because they can be trusted not to open the fridge) and the room with the couch (because that's their favorite spot) and Kahlua and Rupert get the rest of the house
