This is a very good video. I think you touched on all of the important items very clearly. I do like home made hutches and I prefer all wire cages for the climate here in Kansas.

Low cost flooring tiles make excellent testing pads also.

Are you still using cedar for the chickens? I read cedar will cause respiratory problems. Lots of great info in this video, ty. Take care.

No, I only use Aspen shavings for that reason. Thank you!

Yes, use pine shavings for chickens.

Also for use 55gal plastic drum to catch water of roof. Then use black food hose tees, rabbit nipples, in water wrap with concrete blanket. It's very bad winters upstate main and don't freeze as long as nipples don't clog. Imo

Great video , coming from maine. I wish there was dimensions for nesting boxes. And size of buc cages and doe/grow out cages. Thx

Hi, just came across the channel and definitely subscribing. I have been wondering, can rabbits be free ranged like chickens? I find the cages too sad for such an active animal. Thank you.

Hello! I don't think you can free range rabbits. But you should check out raising them in a colony setting. I think you will like that better. You can also build rabbit tractors for them

can you suggest pellets that do not contain gluten or soy (and probably corn)?

Do you have links to your suggested products?

Are they better on the ground or off the ground? We are keeping ours on the ground in a large 50ft by 50ft enclosure.

Honestly I have never raised them permanently on the ground before. My grow outs spend time on the ground but just for a few weeks. I like the hutches because they stay clean and I don't have to worry about really any health issues. I am curious about raising them in a colony style setting tho. Sounds like you have a nice set up. It's really just a matter of preference. :)

Absolutely, that's another reason I like the hutches! Easier to manage them

😀

can you give the rough dimensions for the "individual" vs growout resting mats?

@rabbitathomestead

5 ай бұрын

It's just rough cut or scrap wood. I don't measure the wood at all. I just use larger pieces of scrap for grow outs and smaller pieces for the breeders.

Where did you find those feeders? The purple one

In warm water the molecules are further apart, the closer to boiling point gets. Until its gas, which instant freeze. (Perhaps you have seen tossing boiling water from the kettle in to air videos)

Great video. Do you sell breeders?
