Which Maileg dolls' houses can Maileg Rabbits & Bunnies live in?
Maileg rabbits and bunnies come in a wide range of sizes, and not all of them are designed to live in a dolls’ house. Understanding the scale makes it much easier to choose the right character for your collection. Here's an explanation of Maileg Rabbit & Bunny sizes from the largest to the smallest, with information on their suitability for Maileg dolls' houses.

Rabbit & Bunny Sizes 1 and 2
Maileg Rabbits & Bunnies in Sizes 1 and 2 are large enough to cuddle but are small enough to live in a Maileg dolls house. They have their own miniature scale, complete with dolls’ house furniture, accessories and a range of dedicated clothing.These sizes are designed to live in Maileg’s bigger dolls’ house called the 'House of Miniature', where rooms, furniture, and accessories are scaled to suit them properly.In this setting, Size 1 and Size 2 rabbits and bunnies become the main characters - filling the parental role - with micro rabbits and bunnies fulfilling the role of children and babies.
Rabbit & Bunny Size 'Micro'
Maileg Micro Rabbits & Bunnies work on two levels in the Maileg world. They can either be mouse-scale companions or fulfil the role of miniature babies in the House of Miniature.
Firstly, at Maileg mouse scale, they sit comfortably alongside Big Brother and Big Sister mice, sharing the same furniture, accessories and clothing.
Secondly, when used with Size 1 and 2 rabbits and bunnies in the House of Miniature, Micro rabbits and bunnies take on a different role altogether. In this larger dolls’ house setting, they represent babies or young children of the Size 1 and Size 2 rabbits and bunnies, allowing you to build a multi-generation family within the same world.
