One-page support sheet
Print, clip, and use in the room
Built for pressure. Use it in the room, then return to the handbook if you need more.
Field use
Spot first
Traction, hideouts, litter zones, escape temptations, and whether the rabbit still has a calm retreat path.
Avoid
Tidying the room into a prettier space that quietly removes the rabbit’s comfort and control.
Next move
Pair this with the safety chapter when the room reset involves hazards, pets, cords, or escape risk.
Use this for
Hold steady
Bring the basics back into view.
Walk the floor for slips, moved rugs, and escape spots.
Check that hideouts stay reachable and private.
Reset litter and hay zones for easy use.
Keep cords, chew targets, gaps, and doors visible.
Check now
Mark now
Short notes only. Catch the pattern.
Refresh the room without stripping all familiar scent.
Treat hay scatter, odor, or poop drift as setup clues.
Keep human traffic out of refuge paths.
Note room changes that might explain behavior or litter drift.
Course correction
Do not
These blur the signal.
Do not tidy away comfort.
Do not punish mess before checking setup.
Do not wait for a slip or escape.
If the pattern feels genuinely off, move from observation into safer action sooner, not later.
