It did take a few days before my 2 fully got the hang of things.... I was tempted to stick sand paper on the slope as I thought I'd made it too slippy with the wood preserve.... they cope fine though. I'm a paranoid mummy and I shut mine away at night (11-7am) the second day, they were both so eager to get out and downstairs they braved it, even Moose who hadnt got a clue what to do the day before. Come on bunnies!
