We too build our own nesting boxes amd the best designs we could find had 1/4" mesh bottoms and a lip on the front as a kit squeegee lip on the top of the front to help keep them inside the nesting box. Awesome job!

Your set up is lovely you explain everything clearly and your rabbits all look so healthy one of the best rabbit vlogs I have seen all the best! 👌🏻

Wow I appreciate that, thank you so much!

If u cut a hole in the wire your feed container can sit on the outside so you can feed without opening the cage

Yeah, I have seen people do that. I don't like it tho. I explain why in my everything you need to raise rabbits video. Thanks!

At tractor supply they only had chicken boxes so we covered up the hole with cardboard. Works for us really well

You should put the box for the mamas at 27 -28 day because they would probably eat it or use it as a litter

They don't use it as litter. And I make sure they have plenty of hay everyday. Day 25 works for me.

I think your rabbits and family is beautiful!

Where did you get the rabbit house from?

can you ask what size the box? thanks

How did you get your rabbits to be so gentle and calm. If I stuck my hand in the cage when they are mating I would probably get bit. I struggle with them scratching me when I try and move them or handle them. I interacted with them a lot when they were small but still they are difficult. Maybe it is the breed. Mine are mixed breeds except for 1 and she is very shy. I'm impressed with the way you take care of your rabbits.

Thank you! The silver Fox breed is very docile and some shy. I think it’s just the breed. I have had Rex rabbits in the past that have not been very nice.

Sure, when it gets nicer out I will mention it. It's not much, just barrels that collect water from the roof when it rains. :)

@rabbitathomestead I was wondering if the barrels just have a filter and collect directly into barrel or connected to down spouts from the roof. Thank you!

@rabbitathomestead

@@julieb2605 no filter. We have the barrels positioned to collect water from two creases in our roof. A lot of water drains off the roof in those spots. I use the water for gardening and I give it to my rabbits. When I give it to the rabbits, I put apple cider vinegar in their water with it.

How much apple cider vinegar do you ad to their water?

That wires is made specifically for rabbits. It's the best and safest thing for them. It certainly does not hurt their feet.

What did people feed rabbits before pellets and corporations existed? Surely it’s simple.

Do they ever get to run around? I don't think I could keep rabbits in small cages like that.

If you're thinking about raising rabbits and that's how you feel, I recommend researching colony style for raising them. You will probably like that better.

I don't get it? I just saw you breed her twice? How do you know that wasn't successful?

When you breed rabbits you are looking for what they call a "fall off". It's when the buck successfully breeds with the doe and falls off dramatically. I have videos that show what I'm talking about. 🐇

Parents and children share more common DNA than siblings. Breeding siblings is totally ok to enhance certain desirable traits.

Yes but it highlights the negative just as much. This is where culling and selective breeding are key. Most fail because they emotionally can cull and are overrun.
