I have at least double the amount of surface than before, and I designed everything with better awareness of which spots are the sunniest.
The deep boxes are very simple wicking beds. They have a central well to keep everything aerated and allow watering from the bottom. No overflow valve of any kind, since my space is under a roof.

I have never had a problem keeping my rabbits from dying, however i never have been able to keep them breeding through the summer months. I have a shaded place where the sun never hits and i also have been using the water bottle technique. This can work, however i have had some rabbits that have been scared of the water bottles, so then they do no good! I really like the marble slab idea and i think I'm gonna try that this year as well as rig up some fans. Thank you for all y'all's posts. Some of them are really helpful! Any other tips would be appreciated.
Also, last summer i had a problem for the first time with ear mites. I was able to get rid of them, but it was a long process. I saw a post about a medicine that takes care of the mites with one dose. Any one know what it is called? Thanks
