I like them cages better then them other cages you buy at farm stores way to think out side the box Mary And John tell the next 1 God bless YOU and all that is under your roof

Great design Mary, plenty of room for the rabbit habit and the partition will keep privacy so one doesn't get jealous of the other getting a little more.

John -- you and Mary never cease to amaze me with your ingenuity! Gawd -- those are WAAAY better than any commercial rabbit cages I've seen. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Those look like they would be pretty heavy-duty predator proof too. Just put some sticks in the cages for the rabbits to chew on and they *should* leave the mesh alone. Maybe.

I watched your other video first then this one. I was wondering how you were going to hang the grow out cage in the barn, until I saw this video. I have been looking into replacing 8 of my home made cages, this design will give the rabbits a little more room, and after pricing the wire shelving materials I will spend less than I would on all wire cages at the feed store. and these will last a lot longer. thank you for shearing these videos

***** Did some quick calculating. If I had to buy new you are into about $60 per hole. Sounds bad. But wait. TSC is asking for $50 a hole and their materials are flimsier gauge. If I go DIY with regular rabbit wire, I am into $40 for the wire alone. I still have to come up with a support system. So lets see. self supporting just screwer to the wall. heavier gauge materials so the life will be longer. Easy construction it appears. All in all if I was going to build a rabbitery from scratch this is the way I would do it. Again impressive.

I like your cages much nicer than any I have ever built or owned in the past. I used to raise a new zealand/california mix. I put chunks of wood in the cages to give them something to chew on also mounted the salt blocks on wood. I noticed you dont have salt blocks in your cages, do they get salt in their feed?

How is the cage holding up? Did they chew on the white coating?

@Brainchild69 5 жыл бұрын

I have tried the board-for-their-feet approach a few times. I do feel sorry for them regarding their feet on that wire all the time, but it's been my experience, 100% of times, that they will sit on that board when they pee and poop and sit in the pee and poo all the time and get urine burns and infections. Rabbits don't seem really bright. It looks like you have a good set-up though.
