RE: New Rabbit Hutch

in #homestead6 years ago

Yeah! Love the last photo.

These cages will be on the ground when in use? My first impression was how strange it looked o see this cage lattice up on top of the saw horses. That is just for the building process, right?

A bunny tractor is a great idea. Never seen that concept put into practice before.

Sort:  

Yes, the saw horses are just there for the building process. The cages will hang off the ground from a shade structure. We are also planning a gravity feed watering system (as opposed to the small bottles that usually hang from the cages). The rabbits will also have a pad of some sort to sit on if they want to get off the wire.

Wood enclosures and rabbits are a match made for entropy! So after much research, we decided wire is cleaner and safer in the long haul. Waste, especially corrosive urine, falls free to the ground away from the animals leaving them clean. Also, we can provide enriching chewing options rather than allowing rabbits the opportunity to develop bad home-gnawing habits. Thanks so much for commenting on my hubby's post! Cheers and thanks
