RE: New Rabbit Hutch

in #homestead5 years ago

The little rabbits are really very cute, it is a pity to put them in such cages, I would probably to keep them inside just till they are a big grown up. That is a great idea to build up cages yourself especially you can make whatever size you like so that they are not so restricted, but seeing your garden you have plenty room for such cuties to run about. Thank you for your tutorial very practical and can save some money too :)

Well, gardens and rabbits are kind of mutually exclusive ;)

The rabbits will spend most of their time out of their cages, on the pasture. They will be confined for their own protection, but will have plenty of space to hop around and eat grasses, clover, and various herbs.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to check back later to see how its going :)

I feel the same way about cages! Yet, having grown up with pet bunnies, I know their habits and needs. For example rabbits pee and poop a LOT, and all that waste must be kept away from their living space. So, when they are not actively grazing on the pasture, they will spend the hours wild rabbits chill in burrows, inside these hanging cages that allow their waste to fall to the ground for sanitary conditions and healthy living. They will have comfortable sitting areas as well for respite from the wires. Also, domestic rabbits fight each other and require separate yet adjacent quarters. Especially breeders ! Each dawn and dusk we will place our bunnies in pasture grazing enclosures large enough to run and hop with all the natural glee that bunnies display. I am so happy that you care qnd speak up!
