摘要：

To increase the cage floor surface without widening the horizontal measures. a two-floor cage was projected and tested. The trials showed the rabbits to use both floors with noticeable individual differences. As a mean the rabbits occupied the upper part 53% of the time and stayed in the lower part 45% of the time. The difference was not significant. A covered part was utilised by the animals only seldom (2% of the time). The results show that two floor-cages can match a future possible request for animal welfare without reducing the number of cages.
