Why We Upgraded Our Rabbity And A Review Of The Homey Pet Stackable Cages
Yep we had to upgrade. Unfortunately our original hutch system did not last very long. But what we upgraded to has left us wishing we had just gotten them in the first place. Here it is on Amazon.

Only thing I would say or change about this design is the fan should be flipped and be sucking air out for negative pressure. The holes in the top of the dome are are enough for a draw of oxygen being pulled in from the exhaust. With positive pressure, air being forced in, will stir up the spores and dry the mushrooms and block out. The spores will cover the inside of the chamber. You always want negative pressure in your fruiting chamber and positive pressure in your lab.
So do you leave the fan running on low 24/7 during fruiting?
Cutee
Great tub but an even greater woman. I can only imagine🫠
Great video !! these cages are Awesome, easy for Lixit bottles to attach, love they are on wheels. You Need a "paint" scraper for the trays... LOL LOL SIDE NOTE... cause I just discovered this fact... you don't have to LIFT OUT the grid floor... just lift up a bit ,and it will slide out the front !! which is a lot easier than struggling to lift it up and out past the door... PLEASE DO NOT cut a hole in the divider it is safe and well made and you will probably want to use it again as is..... .Instead... you can get any SOLID material you wish, custom cut, same size as the divider and make a hole in that... OR.... just use a rabbit nesting box to achieve the goal providing mom space away from babies... some people cut HDPE to use instead of the divider to give privacy from their neighbor. FYI the NEW 43" homey-pet in 2024 now have removable "sides" to attach cages together to add cage length and have plastic grid floor instead of wire. Down side is they appear to have done ONE SOLID big tray, instead of the easy to manage "2" separate trays. THEY just keep trying to improving their products...:) Thanks again for sharing the videos !!!
Did you end up getting more wine caps? I'm wanting to duplicate the bucket spawn idea you did to extend the sawdust spawn.
I've only had a handful pop up here and there. Lost all but one to slugs before I could pick them. I'm hoping it will get better as time goes on and I keep feeding the beds.

Learn as you go. Wear a mask. Bacteria comes out of your mouth when you talk. Love your video. Always learning from watching TH-cam videos. ❤
I wana get their 3 tier system, but it's almost 200 bucks. For that price you'd expect it not to have highly breakable plastic parts.
This year I've switched back to the burpee bottom watering trays. The up potting was just taking way too much time and it was killing my hands to pack the soil blockers.
finally! a video that doesn't use massive tubs, super helpful thank you!
All day looking and reading about systems to do exactly what you've done. I was on Amazon looking for a unit with a hose like you have, but nothing could be found. I'm checking out the reptile humidifiers. I have 54-quart monotubs looking to do some humidity treatments rather than a continuous misting. Good Ideas, with the best-looking chamber. Thank You Jackalope people! I subscribed, hopefully, you let us see that chamber again with your final tune-up. ☺👍👍
That looks great! Thanks for this vid. I’m looking for a sturdy set up. Much appreciated!
Just dont push when you bore the hole and the plastic wont crack. Ive been doing this for a long long time and ill say thats a neat lil deal 😊 half of my house is grow/fruiting chamber, spider farmer grow tents are top tier!
Inkbird will control your humidity
I've been wanting to grow Lion's Mane mushrooms in a bucket because I don't want to create plastic waste. However, other cultivators said that for their SECOND FLUSH they cut a SECOND HOLE in their plastic unicorn bag. Obviously I cannot do this with a bucket. Has this ever been an issue for you? Or do the mushrooms proceed to grow out of the same hole? And how do you go about watering your mushrooms for the second flush? Do you DUNK them in water? Or do you prefer just to mist them? Thank you!
should the fan be blowing air in or out?
Fresh air in. Old air out through filter patches.
Could anyone tell me how this lady pasteurized her aspen wood chips please? Details please.
With boiling hot water, then drain the water off once cooled to room temp. No special trick. I measured the correct amount, put it in a bucket without holes, poured boiling water over the top and covered it. Done.
Why is there a pool in the bottom good place for bacteria to live
This looks really interesting, how did you pasteurize your wood chips?
With boiling hot water and then drained the water off once it cooled to room temp.
Lol definitely don’t try sell mushroom growing smh
I'd love to see a update on this little chamber
Awesome video, thanks
Did it work well? I feel like I tried this and failed. The inkbird humidity controller really helped but without it was too much pooled water and the humidifier would run dry quickly. Then, the fan would dry out the cake. Those little pond foggers stink because they "spit" water everywhere. I like the idea of the "reptile" humidifier because making my own tubes wasn't easy or effective.
Do you or anybody pasteurize the aspen wood chips or straw in HYDRATED LIME solution? And if so, for how many hours do you leave them soaking in the hydrated lime solution? Please anybody reply, since not all mushroom species can tolerate a high pH environment which soaking the wood chips in lime solution does. Thank you for your time.
I pasteurized with boiling hot water and drained it once room temp.
Total 90$ and how get profit?
Lmao yea but why? You could achieve the same results with just a plastic tote.. none of that extra shit helps the grow at all.
Use the reverse function on the hole saw. Wont crack plastic. Pro tip
The thumbnail always gets me lol. Like when i inoculated my first jar and it took 😢😳😍
I. Would use the hubby's hole saw and attach a pour spout on the bottom pan?
This is great! I might try building one soon and add a humidity controller to possibly mitigate the accumulation of water in the chamber.
Hi! I’m a huge fan of mushroom growing, but honestly, this is way overkill for a small grow, you can use a plastic tub with some holes and filters to achieve the same results!
Yep. You sure could. This just isn't as big of an eye sore. If I recall I explain that in the video.
Just became a fan. Use a service like S M Z E U S.
U got a link for fan
It's in the description of the video
What do you use fir your raised bed?
8x4 galvanized raised beds off of Amazon. I'll warn you though they price gouge them in the spring. Cheaper to buy them over winter.
I only just found this video. In the process of making a fruiting chamber. You could try Perlite. Psychedelic mushroom growers quickly wash it, rinse and pour it in the bottom. I believe it does retain moisture, so you could just try using enough for your cake to have something to sit on, so the Perlite doesn't compete with your humidifier. That should keep your shroomies nice and dry.
Nice job here. 👍 If you ever need fertilizer, looks like there’s plenty of 🐴 💩 to be found in some people’s comments. Crazy.
That is a good tip
exhaust for the spores ?
Super over complicated.
Where did you buy your mushroom spawn?
I'm a big fan of northspore!
So cute❤
Should I just put wine cap in my woodchip pathways? Or start in a bucket?Thanks great video 💗👍🏻🤠
Thank you! If you have a hardwood chip pathway that gets shade and stays moiste ide put it in the pathway. If it's dry and sun baked I don't think I would bother. I grow out my wine cap spawn in buckets but I don't fruit it there. I put it into my raised garden beds which stay mulched and watered.
@@thejackalopefarm6201 thanks, I have a perfect space in shade behind my compost bins. I only have a tiny bag of spawn, should I put it all in the same spot? Thanks again.👍🏻💪🤠💗
@@nickthegardener.1120 Yeah I would unless you want to grow it out and make more. But you do risk contamination when doing that.
@@thejackalopefarm6201 thanks, I will just plant it.👍🏻🤠💪💗
Excellent, intelligent video. Thank you.
Ok umm I’m no expert on bunnies but I have three of my own and I can see that the cage is wayyy to small and also bunnies don’t have padding on their paws like dog do so the wire bottom flooring could seriously hurt your bunny thank you and good bye 💕
Ummm if you could see the rest of the cage you would see it's actually a dog kennel, larger than most commercially available rabbit hutches, and they have resting boards. AND in the summer they are out in their pasture pens. Thanks for your concern though 😉
@@thejackalopefarm6201 hey thanks for being cool about it I just have a really big passion for bunnies 💕
That was sick!!
I like to shoot quail
We do eat them. Just no need to shoot when they are already in hand. We also hunt upland game birds if you want to stick around for those videos 😉
Sweet setup! How do you control contaminants from getting in with an open air fan? Wouldn’t there still be a chance of trich getting in there from the open fan? Wondering if you can filter it.
So I do have a small piece of filter material that is over the backside of the fan. I was more concerned about dog hair getting in there lol. BUT no I'm not worried so much about contamination at the fruiting stage. At least not on such a small controlled scale. Contamination during inoculation is definitely a concern though.
@@thejackalopefarm6201 thanks for info! Right after I replied I saw your follow up video and confirmed you added some filter media haha. I’m looking forward to making some custom builds like this one :)
@Josh Cruz I've really been thrilled with this set up. I am switching to liquid culture now and will make some more shroomin vids in the near future. This build will be featured in all of it.
@@thejackalopefarm6201 cool! I am using liquid culture and looking to build an all in one chamber. Something you can use from start to finish for each stage in process.
The wire may be hurting his feet, maybe consider some padding on the bottom! Have a lovely day
The wire is not hurting his feet. He also has a resting board and roams a pasture when the weather is better.
@@thejackalopefarm6201 that's good! They sure love their space!
he looks beefy, like strong
Love the name! #beefcow😍
Thank you!
@@thejackalopefarm6201 Of ccourse I love lil animals!
