Example of an organic housing system. This system is a niche system. No standards are available but, as a rule, these systems should satisfy basic requirements according to EU Reg 2018/848. The example in the drawing is based on movable cages used for reproducing does kept individually with their litters, or growing rabbits kept in groups. The movable cage is made of wire‐mesh; it permits foraging on pasture. It includes a sheltered area with solid walls, which serves as a nest box in the case of reproducing does or functional resting/refuge area for growing rabbits. In this sheltered area, a feeder providing compound diets and/or hay is included as well as materials for nest construction in the case of the reproducing does. The movable cages are also equipped with drinkers for manual provision of water
