4. Setup Instructions

The EUGAD Rabbit Enclosure is designed for tool-free assembly. Follow these steps to set up your enclosure:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all panels, ground stakes, and the mesh cover from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, flat surface to identify each part. One of the panels includes a hinged door with a latch.
2. Connect Panels: Stand two wire mesh panels upright. Align the edges of the panels. Insert a ground stake through the interlocking loops on the vertical edges of the two panels. Push the stake firmly into the ground to secure the connection. Repeat this process for all six panels, forming your desired shape (e.g., hexagonal or rectangular). Ensure all panels are securely interlocked with the ground stakes.

3. Secure to Ground: Once all panels are connected and the desired shape is formed, ensure the ground stakes are fully inserted into the ground for maximum stability.
4. Attach Mesh Cover: Unfold the mesh cover and place it over the top of the assembled enclosure. Secure the cover to the enclosure panels using the integrated fasteners or clips, ensuring it is taut and fully covers the opening to prevent animals from escaping or predators from entering.

5. Check Door Latch: Verify that the door on one of the panels opens and closes smoothly and that the latch mechanism functions correctly to secure the door.

To disassemble the enclosure, simply remove the ground stakes between the panels. The panels can then be folded flat for easy storage or transport.

5. Operating Instructions

• Placement: Position the enclosure in a safe, shaded area of your garden or lawn, away from direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions. Ensure the ground is level.
• Access Door: Use the hinged door with its latch for easy access to your pet for feeding, cleaning, or interaction. Always ensure the door is securely latched when your pet is inside.

• Supervision: While the enclosure provides a secure space, constant supervision is recommended, especially for new pets or in areas with potential predators.
• Water and Food: Always provide fresh water and appropriate food for your pet within the enclosure.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the enclosure using a mild pet-safe detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before returning your pet. The metal wire is coated with anti-rust paint, but proper drying helps maintain its condition.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections, panels, and the mesh cover for any signs of wear, damage, or rust. Replace any damaged parts immediately to ensure the safety and integrity of the enclosure.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the enclosure and store it in a dry place to prolong its lifespan.

7. Troubleshooting

• Enclosure is unstable: Ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted into the ground and that the enclosure is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that all panel connections are tight.
• Pet escaping: Verify that the wire spacing (4 cm) is appropriate for your pet's size. For very small or young animals, the spacing may be too wide, requiring additional mesh or supervision. Ensure the mesh cover is securely attached and the door latch is fully engaged.
• Difficulty connecting panels: Ensure the loops on the panel edges are aligned correctly before inserting the ground stakes. Apply gentle pressure to push the stakes through.
