Part 6/9:
One of the standout benefits of the colony method is efficiency. Managing a colony can be as simple as filling a feeder and watering system, allowing Seth to focus his time on other homesteading tasks, like brewing coffee rather than laboriously tending to individual hutches.
Seth notes a remarkable change in the rabbits' behavior after transitioning from hutches to a colony setting. Once skittish and defensive, the rabbits have developed calmer and more open demeanor, indicating that they thrive better within their natural instincts in a communal environment. This newfound freedom fosters an improved relationship between the rabbits and their caretaker, making the experience more enjoyable for both parties.
