For many people, this is an unpleasant task, but then again, a task that many rabbit lovers do enthusiastically, as a 'labor of love.' After all, if you are keeping rabbits as pets, then you probably love them. And if you love them, you won't begrudge them of the little labor in cleaning their cages, for 'to love is to serve' - or so someone said.
