This is a specific conversation about Rabbit housing — space and setup that works — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

A 10-year-old Angora is a genuinely remarkable age for a rabbit — and at that point their housing needs shift quite significantly. Joints stiffen, balance becomes less reliable, and any ramp, raised platform, or multi-level layout becomes a real fall risk. Before I point you toward anything specific, can you tell me: is this rabbit currently indoors or outdoors, and roughly how much floor space do you have available for their enclosure?
She's indoors, in our living room. She has free roam for a few hours a day but needs a proper base. We've got maybe a 2m x 1m footprint to work with.

That's a good amount of space and indoor free roam is ideal for a senior rabbit — they stay warmer, you can monitor them easily, and there's no risk of temperature drops overnight. With a 10-year-old Angora, the absolute priority is that her base enclosure is completely flat — no ramps, no raised sleeping loft, nothing she could misjudge and fall from. Does she have any known mobility issues — arthritis, hind leg weakness, anything like that? And is her Angora coat being professionally groomed, or are you managing that yourself?
She does have some stiffness in her back legs — the vet mentioned early arthritis. I groom her myself every couple of days. She's otherwise pretty alert and eating well.

That stiffness is really important context — it means low entry points matter too, not just internal layout. She shouldn't have to step over a high threshold to get in and out of her sleeping area. What I'd point you toward is the Omlet Eglu Go Rabbit Hutch. It's a single-level design with no internal elevation at all, the entry ramp from the run to the hutch section is very shallow and can effectively be removed if she's using it as a static base rather than accessing a run, and the door openings are wide enough that she isn't squeezing or stepping awkwardly. It's also exceptionally easy to clean — which matters a lot with an Angora whose coat picks up everything. Paired with a large flat pen to extend her floor space, you'd be well within your 2m x 1m footprint and she'd have proper separation between her sleeping and toileting areas.
That sounds sensible. Is the Eglu Go actually big enough for an Angora though? They're not small rabbits.
inparticular.ai
It's a fair question. The Eglu Go hutch section itself is compact — it's designed as a sleeping den rather than a living space, which is actually fine because her living space is the pen and free roam time. The sleeping chamber suits a large rabbit comfortably for rest, but you're right that Angoras have significant coat volume on top of their body size. I'd recommend measuring your rabbit when fully stretched out and comparing to Omlet's listed interior dimensions before buying — Omlet's customer service is genuinely helpful if you call them directly. If her body length is on the larger end, the Eglu Go Plus (the slightly larger version) would give her more comfort in the sleeping area without changing anything about the ground-level, hazard-free design.
Okay, that's really helpful. I'll check her measurements. Is there anything else I should be thinking about for the setup given her age?
inparticular.ai
A few things worth doing. Put soft fleece or vet bed on the floor of her sleeping area rather than hay alone — it's much kinder on arthritic joints than hard surfaces. Make sure her litter tray has at least one very low-cut entry side so she doesn't have to lift her legs high to get in. And keep her water source at a height that doesn't require her to reach up or crouch down awkwardly — a bowl at floor level rather than a bottle is usually easier for older rabbits with neck or back stiffness. At 10 she's doing brilliantly, and getting the environment right can make a real difference to how comfortable she stays.
