Finally a rabbit farm who takes care of their rabbits properly.

Beautiful hutches! Thanks for the tip on wire mesh flooring - I was always afraid it would hurt my bunnies’ feet, but they get so hot in the summertime, and seeing that your buns prefer the mesh to the ample wood flooring you offered them, I’m now going to add a section of mesh for mine to chill on during hot days. Cheers!

Nice hutches. I had my female in a big hutch like that for 2 years. Then one day i read somewhere that rabbits never go further than about a 1/4 mile from their home, so I let her loose in my fenced in yard to see what she would do. It's about a 1/4 acre yard. Well she not only stayed in the yard for the next 6 years but i got her a male and he never left and i wound up with about 10 bunnies! It was great, my lawn was always the perfect height and real green and they love to eat weeds. Great pets

Abida Babida That's great that you were able to do that. I wish I could do that. Here we get Coyote, wolf-dogs, wolves, foxes, bobcats, etc. and they would be someone's lunch. We actually lost our West Highland White Terrier (20 lbs) to a Wolf-Dog back in December. It came into our yard that was 6' wooden fenced :(

RoxyGirl Wright Hey sorry to hear that Roxy. I lost a great dog to a speeding car right after 9/11. She was a brindle Pit...4 yrs old and nursing puppies that were only 2 weeks old. She died only a month after my mother died, which was on 9/11...which also took one of my childhood friends. He was a fireman. That was the worst couple of months of my life. The bunnies actually helped me get thru it all. I didnt wanna do anything but take Xanax and sleep. Those funny fur balls made me smile every day. Sucks that u can't let your bunnies run free...but it's totally understandable with predators in your area. We dont have anything here...just racoons, opossums n squirrels. My Pit didn't bother the bunnies. She listened and understood me like as if she actually knew the English language. What an amazing dog. Found her at the pound when she was about 9 months old.

These are the best outdoor breeding hutches I've come across online. They look the most spacious and comfortable for them and deal with all seasons and are high above the ground. Not the cheapest and lots of labour and thought went into building them.

Great design and thanks for sharing your video. I'm planning to have a rabbitry as well for meat, and your designs gave me an idea how to make a great cage. I like the idea of the portion that catches all the droppings, it makes the farming clean and tidy.

i like that you include a "stool" for them to jump onto and the setup is very clean.

@deepbeeps 8 жыл бұрын

I love your hutches! We have been thinking of getting into rabbits for meat for ourselves as well as a little extra money. We hate the idea of caging them and have been looking at free ranging. Most of what I have found is free ranging creates lots of new problems that cages or hutches prevent. Your hutches are HUGE compared to most rabbit cages. That makes us feel a little better about the whole idea. They could be built rather cheaply with rough sawn lumber from the sawmill too! Thanks for the tour....I will be checking out your other videos.

I realize this video is old but I am hoping a new comment pings for a response. These hutches seem simple enough while still being spacious and comfortable. I think they will be a base for the one I plan on building this weekend. 1. Where did you get the trays? 2. What kind of rabbit are these? 3. Are they good for meat? Thanks for any response. Especially about the breed. They are beautiful

@juliemcgugan1244 5 жыл бұрын

After keeping hamsters and other rodents for years, i’ll give you a tip for keeping the build-up of rabbit urine off the pans; apple cider vinegar. You’ll have to soak them for a while, as the solids take some time to dissolve, but it is so worthwhile to do every month or so, as it keeps the smell under control and therefore any flies away (not that I saw any in your video; but my pets were always indoors, as we lived in the tropics and smells could be a problem since we lived in rented accommodation.) Anyway, lovely hutches! Those are some of the nicest i’ve ever seen!

@TamBayo 6 жыл бұрын

If your rabbits are too fat too roll up and eat those when they come out (normal) then yes. Otherwise there is no need to catch their droppings in the cage so they can reach them. The ones shown in this vid are the end droppings, not the ones for "reuse" that you refer to

Hi, it's healthy for rabbits if they can eat some of their own droppings as they get so little of the goodness out of their food the first time round, they'll often eat their droppings 3 or 4 times as they get more and more out of the digestion process each time, might sound yucky but that's nature for you lol
