What type of rabbits are you raising? I’m in South FL. I’m thinking to get ALTEX rabbits.

I used to breed rabbits for about 10 years. My cages were constructed very similarly to yours, except my breeding does had 2'x 3' compartments. Whenever I ran out of the edging for the doorways, I would go to the drugstore and buy the plastic page protectors for papers that had the hard plastic spine that would slide over the folded edge of the page protector. The hard plastic spine was the perfect size for my doorways, and worked out fine for my cages.

Nice to see you both working together. 👩🏼‍🌾🧑🏼‍🌾 I like the hay feeder option. Nice safety details too. Good job!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hey thanks allot for doing this video really appreciate it.

I gained a wealth of information from this cage build. Too bad the links for materials no longer work. Congratulations on living the lifestyle you want!

I WAS SURPRISED HOW STURDY IT IS WITHOUT A FRAME, A GOOD BUILD, GREAT LEARNING VIDEO ❗❗❗❗❗

A great design. Love the cages.

Amazing video, this is exactly what I was hoping to come across! In addition, Thank you for your service.

Great video love your bloopers you put a smile on my face every time blessings from California👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful cage. Look awesome.

I like the reuse of the door cut out. I'm currently placing the hay on the floor or in another feeder box. I'll be ordering this wire for new cages this summer. Comment on door, I was concerned about flexable wire and predators getting in. Placing the hay box on edge of the door would make it harder to get in. Very nice video, thanks. Would like to see video on how you gathered the rabbit waste. I'm thinking plastic roofing and gutters.

Thank you for your wonderful content. I appreciate the level of detail that you put in your videos. I appreciate all that you do!

Love how simple this is. I believe I can make one myself and I’m not very handy. Lol The hay feeder is a great idea. Appreciate the trim you used so no one gets hurt. Looks great! Awesome instructional videos.

The rabbit cage looks great I think I will be doing it real soon thanks for the great idea

Your cages reminds me of the ones my dad and grandpa built years ago. They were hung from the rafters of an old chicken house. Brought back so many good memories. I knew exactly what you were going to do with the wire left over after cutting out the door. However, not the shape and placement as I thought. Your idea was better. Can't wait for the part 3.

Those cages REALLY AWESOME!!! I raise quail and I make the same cages. I have got a couple of helpful tips that would be great! #1: On your cuts with the grinder. I used a diamond blade because it has grinding surfaces on both sides of the blade to grind down the sharp edges off at the same time as you are cutting. #2: On your hay feeder.... I actually don’t cut all my nipples off because I use some of them to hang them on by curling them around the cage! On the other hand I also use (6) of the J-Clips actually to secure it on. 2 at the top on each side, 2 at the bottom on each side and 2 more on the bottom where it is folded up. I hope this would help you out on the next future builds on your cages? Keep up the great work!

HOOAH! not OORAH. Awesome cage build. I intend to use it. Thanks for sharing!

Great cage set up. We are getting ready to build one just like this. Can you show how you hang them and what you found that works best please.

Hello again Vic here... yup, Penny's sleeping. 5:40 Maybe use your grinder to "adjust" the J clip tool ? You know, remove a bit of surface area from where the tool grips the clip . . . allowing the tool to get a tighter grip on the clip :)

Your hay feeders are great. Little to no waste and a sturdy way to feed. Now all you need is a protective cover for winter, unless you keep them in the barn/workshop.

Joe Trudeau not with these. Since the wire cage is 1” X 1” they do fine with just eating through the cage. If we cut holes too big, they tend to just pull all the hay out and waste it.

Hey thank you for the video, really like it. Some questions: 1. Just curious how many rabbits are you intending to hold in there? It is really long, so I really doubt whether it can supports that much weight? 2. Are you holding the cage up or laying it over some ground/stone material? 3. Is that hay feeder really big enough? My rabbits eat like 6 times hay with your hay box size. So how often do you need to fill it again? Thanks again.

Amazing professional design! With the items listed in the description... how much of the wire on the roll was left over? After the doors were cut? Both 1x1 and the 1x1/2 rolls...
