We try to answer the age old question: What size cage should I use for my rabbits.
Scattered throughout the video we also specifically address 4H and FFA questions regarding cages.

I want to raise some New Zealand Whites, and I see 30 x 36 would be good for the two does, while a 30x30 would be good for the buck. But how tall should these be at an absolute minimum?

@dewycan69 Жыл бұрын

14" tall would be the minimum. 18" is the norm.

I am building my rabbitry in the fall. the first half will be 16x24ft under cover. I want to raise Florida Whites in a single hanging set of cages. I am starting with 2 bucks and 2 does. What size cages would you recommend? I love that you make your cages out of 14 gauge. not many do.

For decades we raised NZ in 30"x36" for does and 30"x30" for bucks. We went to 30"x30" for does and 30"x24" for our bucks in the last 10 years and haven't had any issues. If you have the space, go with the 30x36, but space is always an issue. Ha! Larger litters may be the determining factor. 10+ in the litter, go with 30"x36".

@dewycan69 3 жыл бұрын

8"x8"x12" or 9"x9"x14" or plastic shoebox. Time of year can make a difference open too or not.

30"x36" has been the industry standard. Buck hole should be no larger than 30"x30".
