HUGE DIY Outdoor Rabbit Pen (with BURROWS!)
How much feed and hay do you go through per rabbit in the summer and how much in the winter?
ОТлично, но я так и не поняла, когда Вы добавили оливковое масло в топленный жир. На каком этапе?
I appreciate the "what I would do differently" portion at the end.
Don't eat them
Still nice
Wow, this looks great. I'm going to try this out. Yes! As a former Dairy Queen worker in my teen years, it brought back some fun memories.
How does this hold up in the winter? I live in area where it gets to -° . Not always but occasionally. Do i need to inslate it some how? I saw the fake burrow on sage smoke channel. TIA
0:56 - 10 x 20 ft. setup. 5:28 - (1) how long n wide in feet is the colony b4 the divider? (2) That's the only divider u hav I can c right?
How are the nuts walnuts, pecans, cashews??
New to your channel ❤
What essential oils did you use to scent it?
Awesome, made an order today, won't be picking up till Dec 15 but I'm excited 55lb wheat for 50 is a good deal compared to every store I researched on
yes much tougher than she looks. Pyrenees are incredibly tough breed.
How long n how wide is the pen?
Improper starting technique, you're supposed to have a cig in your mouth and a half empty beer can in your offhand
😆
Are essential oils necessary for scent or could you use skin safe fragrance oils?
You can… but they’re not really healthy for you, so it kind of defeats the purpose of using tallow in the first place.
I was going to try a lavender and unscented.
"ain't got no gas in it" Carl Childers
I just watched your video and like you said, paying the whipped tallow is pricey! Especially since I use it on most my body. I was wondering your thoughts on buying a higher quality olive oil? Would that make a difference? I also keep the amber jars I've purchased from the whipped tallow and it supposedly prevents UV rays from degrading the quality of the tallow.
me first
I would reccommend more than one livestock dog if you have cougars. Those cats are no joke.
Are you in a spot with cougars as well? What are you using as defense?
I’ve been thinking about this more and you’re right, those cats are no joke. The hardest part about having a livestock dog is grappling with the reality of the job they have. I would consider adding another livestock dog if we expand our goat herd and having enough work for two. It’s not a bad idea. I’m also contemplating if getting auto/solar flood lights would help as a deterrent. Let me know if you have any recommendations!
@@letschasethegoodlife Oops, didn't even notice I had a reply. Personally, I don't stead myself but I grew up around people who knew a thing or two, and met plenty of knowledgable people from all around despite growing up in a small community. General consensus is probably to start with two, but it really depends on the size of the property and the breed of the dog.
I'm here before those people that call everything skinwalkers
❤❤❤ me too ❤❤❤❤
Has your dog actually killed any cougars? I remember the movie Where the Red Fern Grows, in which a boy tries to go after a cougar with two dogs, and it kills one of them. Then he tries to go after it with the remaining dog, and it kills that one too.
Cougars like an easy meal, our guard dog makes it seem a bit more work than it is worth so she is a great deterrent. Luckily no showdowns and hopefully we keep it that way!
That was such a great and profound monologue. I am in Central Europe, living with my old mom in a family house with a garden and I understood every point you made. I try to do some gardening and it's so much work! Even without any animals around at all! :) After several years of battling slugs and redoing the garden layout, I arrived exactly at the point where I told myself I need to ease up with the work around the house and in the garden in order not to do it at the expense of more important things in my life. I wish you all the best, I subscribed and I am looking forward to watching more on your channel.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your own experience and for your kind words too 🙏 . Sometimes I wonder if it makes a difference making videos if no one sees them 😅 but then getting a comment like yours makes it all worth the while. It can be a bit lonely, this process of homesteading, without having a community to share in the journey with. Loved reading about your homesteading journey, living with your mom in Central Europe and gardening. I hope you continue to garden and enjoy it on your terms, even if that means accomplishing projects at a slower pace and having to battle slugs. We briefly had ducks and that was the most slug free our yard ever was. But then of course, we had to manage all the duck poo, haha.
Thanks for sharing the love for animals!! New sub from Gilroy California 🐾💞🦋
Thank You!
Im so glad you found him !!💞
Us too! It could have ended way worse
@@letschasethegoodlifeYes such a tight spot.
I was not expecting that kid’s screams 😂
At first I thought it was injured in there because of the scream but luckily he was ok. Just frightened of being cougar bait.
Its so funny how goats always sound like an adult man screaming. Glad you find the little guy
Ha! Yes that scream is a bit funny after the fact. It was a bit jarring while trying to pull that goat out. Glad we were able to find him too!
Needs a bigger door. The best would be inside during the cold and rain. Just saying.
Yeah it’s hard to leave her outside. During the 4th of July we kept her inside and she was miserable without her goats. She’s very bonded to them and knows it’s her job. The door is small in order to keep the goats out of her self feeder. I may insulate the dog house for winter and add a solar light. I need to research the solar light though and make sure it won’t be an attractor for predators. So much to research! Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your feedback. We really appreciate it.
😆awesome👏🏼
Thank you!😊 🙏
so cute
Make the door bigger wtf would you like to crawl on your belly and squeeze through a small hole to get in somewhere?
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
A door for ants ?
Ah yes, I should have explained this in the video. It’s to keep the goats out of her house where her self feeder is.
Why is the door so small that she has to crawl in on her belly ?
To keep the goats out. She has a self feeder in her house and goats reputation for trying to eat anything is true. Fortunately, goats will typically try to squeeze through narrow vertical spaces but not narrow horizontal spaces
Cant believe I just found your channel, its a real jam! Really calming and with loads of good information, this chanel will grow fast!
Always nice to hear feedback! Thank you!
How long did you whip it for?
Several minutes. Probably 3 minutes on high. Doesn’t sound like a lot but when you mixer is in high I think it really is and works in a lot of air!
@@letschasethegoodlife Gotcha, ty!

We answer a ton of your questions in a follow up video: 2 Years of Raising Rabbits Outdoors - Your Questions Answered th-cam.com/video/E2l0djL-VUY/w-d-xo.html
I get the impression you kill them.
Great video! When you rebuild with mobile in mind, here are a couple ideas: 1 on wood frame, build it on skids and pull with your riding mower or lawn tractor, or affix wheels that can lower to move and raise when at rest. The Rabbitry Center has a great video on how to build the wheel base. 2- build with conduit pipe instead of wood to make it lighter for transport. 3-build with PVC pipe instead of wood for lighter transport. Best of luck!
If you have more than one buck in the colony with the does will they fight to the death or eventually establish order between them?
If they are kits still they would be ok when they become adults they will start to get a bit more aggressive. If they are mixed with does they will start breeding. If it is all males that’s when the problems really start with aggression.
Do you separate does and bucks inside this enclosure?
Yes. Adult does and bucks are separated. But kits can be kept together for the first month and a half. Adult does can be kept together but it takes them a while to establish their social hierarchy. I’ve only had one occasion where the an adult female just couldn’t get acclimated and it was because she was much younger I think and the lead doe had it out for her.
grown people with rabbits, do you eat them then ?
They are meat rabbits.
@@letschasethegoodlife you eat a pet animal.. shame on you
@@DonLeRon-h5s nobody would have pet rabbits if people didn't eat them.
Anjinhos lindos ❤
Great set up 😊
Thank you!!
This stuff is soooo good!!!!
It seriously is! Add a pinch of cinnamon cloves and cardamom 👩🍳 and it’s heaven!
I'm wondering what it's going to look like in a year or two, and you can see the red through the green, because you only did one coat. Hell, it might just take a day or so for it to dry. Yes, you can do a great job for a fraction of the price, but $300 sounds way too good to be true. But maybe not. Although I was a carpenter, paint was not my specialty.
Being complete beginners at this I’m sure we missed something. Touch ups are on the calendar. And we are interested to see how it lasts over time too!
Painting is one of the most painful improvements for a DIYer to pay for. You say to yourself “it’s just painting, I’ve been doing that since preschool” but then you start and realize how much prep and time is actually required 😂 I have been avoiding the trim and finishing touch ups in my media room for about 9 months now 🫣
Isn’t that the truth! We need to get our trim touched up (touched up is putting it nicely 😂) and we are putting it off. Needs to happen! Good luck with your paint touch ups, you got this!!
Now you need white to do the trim.
It’s a great DIY look! Just kidding, we are slated to finish the trim soon!
@letschasethegoodlife it does look way better. 😊
Never use a ladder when cutting trees. The branch will always swing back towards the main trunk because of the weight pulling it down before you cut all the way through. That means your ladder and yourself will be taken out.
