I am used to messy animals and lots of cleanup! I did make the pans out of material that can be brought outside and hosed down. I plan on using some sort of litter too until they understand the litterbox; probably wood pellets at the bottom and aspen shavings on top (not for the nest-box). I had three male rats at one point so I have learned how to manage stink, haha.You aren't going with wire floors?
You will be doing a LOT of cleaning with the doe cage and the growout cage. Growing bunnies poop a lot, especially as they get close to butchering size.
Rabbits do a lot of their pooping while eating, so maybe you could use a wire-topped litterbox that they sit on to eat. That would keep them from sitting in their own poop as much.
The litterbox in the feeding area is a good idea; I'll hang the hay bag over there too.
I'm kind of limited to this as my neighborhood doesn't allow animals to live outdoors permanently. I figured at least I could do something to get experience until I have land someday. My family is small and we don't eat a ton so a single rabbit's meat should last a few days if it's served with something, which is nice.
