This is awesome! I've been trying to find inspiration for building a more natural habitat for my one rescued French Angora who digs some pretty deep burrows. I wanted meat rabbits but I guess this is a good test run for me. I love the grass areas, brilliant!
I’ve had bunns on and off for 40 years and this is THE BEST set up I have seen👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉 We are making a new coop for our chickens and decided to make half for the bunns because they always want to be with the chickens. I am definitely going to make the ‘underground’ warren, thanks!
This is so far the best setup I have seen! You really did a great job with this! Please consider doing a detailed video explaining how to build something like this with dimensions and a materials list. Maybe also a separate detailed video on how to manage the rabbits and their breeding schedules. Besides the culvert, what is the structure under the mound? Buckets? Just dirt and let them do their thing?? If they birth kits in the burrow, how do you move them to the grow-out area? If there are no bucks in the colony, why do the kits need to go to a grow-out area? I have so many questions, and would love to build one myself, but wouldn't know where to begin without more information! Please ignore me if you've already made said videos, I'm sure to find them.
this is fantastic! Do you ever have an issue with fleas and ticks? I have two pet buns I am looking to relocate from our bunroom (converted sunroom) to outdoors to reclaim the sunroom. I am concerned about parasitic pests though...
I love this idea!! I would like to set up some warrens for my rabbits that allow for rotational grazing. I don't really like rabbit tractors but for now that's what I am doing.
This is great. I´ve justed started with two does to breed for meat rabbits. Do they get tame? How do you do it when you want to catch them for butchering?
Awesome set up....love the buried pipe leading into a whole nother section way cool and real creative... it's got me thinking of ideas for my future pen, thanks and I really enjoyed your video....your from Tempe Arizona?? What do you do during the summers....so far I've heard nothing but bad stuff...also how do you keep predators away?
Awesome man everything looks pretty good. I can tell you been at it for awhile now.. ima amateur rn and my rabbits run free in my backyard but this is a very nice idea of how it should look! Any pointers on the buckets for the kits? Mine dug a burrow an had 2 litters so far! I dont wana mess them up if I put buckets?I tried the nest box but failed
When the doe is about to have her kits she will start pulling fur/hair you can try to move it to the buckets. We have also had success move the Doe and kits into the buckets
Hi, thanks for this video, I've subscribed and liked... and I have a question: I've been dreaming of raising my rabbits in a more natural setting, it looks like you figured out a way. How many males and females do you have in one setting?
Brilliant. I wanted to build an outside enclosure for my ferrets as I feel it is very healthy. I was wanting to start raising rabbits and a few chickens as well. I need my neighbors propertys as well on both sides of me. $40,000. I could buy them both out.
We tried this and our TWO rabbits tore up every single bit of grass until it was just mud. They’re still there and doing great but I wish we had a way to let them graze like this.
Nice, you must not have coyotes or neighbor dogs. Our dachshund got into our chicken run made from chicken wire, tore his mouth but killed everyone one of the chicks, after that I no longer use chicken wire, only ¼" or ½" hardware cloth.
I have a large animal trap next to my setup. Wild cats around the pen area prompted me to buy it but I haven't seen a stray predator since I bought it.
Great ideas. I just wish you'd improve on your videotography. Swishing here and there and back again; I'm rendered quite giddy and as a result, quite annoyed and it puts me off bothering with a "like" and subscribing. I hope you can practise patience, "focus" and "slow" in your further vlogs.

These rabbits that are breed for meat have a better life than most of the pet rabbits I came across. Well done!
This is a really cool set up. I love how its so natural for the rabbits and they get to run in a more natural area for them. Great job
Mackenzie Salm Thank you so much

Wow this is simply amazing!! I love how happy your rabbits look!!
Amaising rabbits for meat??? 🥶
Your setup has inspired me to move away from boring tractors.
i love how much work you put into making a rabbit enclosure!
Thank you! 😊

Thanks, be we no longer do the bunnies
now THAT is a nice setup, my man. I just bought my first breeding pair last week, and now I know towards what to aspire with my setup!
Thanks

Beautiful set up
Marilyn Montes thanks
Would be nice to see a video update if you still have the colony.
We don’t,
In fact we now live in Florida
@@JakeOfALL Ah ok! While you had it - did it work as intended?
Good video! Enjoy seeing the rabbit colony. 👍👍
Thanks
This is really a great natural set up for a colony. I Love this.
Glad you like it!
I love this idea!! I would like to set up some warrens for my rabbits that allow for rotational grazing. I don't really like rabbit tractors but for now that's what I am doing.
this is pretty much the set I want to pursue. Can't wait.
This is a gorgeous colony! Did you put wire or something on the bottom to keep them from burrowing out?
Yes we cut the grass real short then put wire down . And thanks!
Wow, so big and gorgeous!
Do you still have the colony? Would love an update and guide to your setup.
We move to Florida
This is great. I´ve justed started with two does to breed for meat rabbits.
Do they get tame? How do you do it when you want to catch them for butchering?
You can’t breed two girls
Happy bunnies! I love rabbit but I couldn't raise any to eat. We just have two as pets.
Awesome set up....love the buried pipe leading into a whole nother section way cool and real creative... it's got me thinking of ideas for my future pen, thanks and I really enjoyed your video....your from Tempe Arizona??
What do you do during the summers....so far I've heard nothing but bad stuff...also how do you keep predators away?
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

Love this set up! Its definitely given me a lot of ideas for my own colony set up!
Glad you could help in any way.
I want to learn more about this farm of urs sir.. Am from India and am a mechanical engineer graduate... Going to start a farm of my own...
Wow man this cool! Thank you for sharing
No problem
Hi, thanks for this video, I've subscribed and liked... and I have a question: I've been dreaming of raising my rabbits in a more natural setting, it looks like you figured out a way. How many males and females do you have in one setting?
Reinhold-VST 3 we have bucks, and 8 does. And thanks for following
@@JakeOfALL Thank you.
Very nice set up!

They will love it
Awesome! Planning on doing the same!
what a beautiful set up
thanks
How to you keep the weasels out? They can fit right through chicken wire
Never had any
@@JakeOfALL you are a very lucky man
Do they dig out underneath mate?
So there is wire down first
Great video man , how do you keep them from digging holes out under the fence?
hardware cloth
so cool, How large the rabbit area ( including indoor part, play pen tec) you use?
Indoor is 4x10 outdoor is 30x30 give or take
@@JakeOfALL in?
Meter? foot?
@@Monicafebriantini Sorry , Feet
@@JakeOfALL Thx ! ^_^ i also wonder how many the rabbits in it? more than a dozen ?
I've heard not to use chicken wire. The rabbits can chew threw it. As well as it dont last long. Anyone with experience?
We never had problems with that.
Are you still doing this? How is your kit survivability? Any issues with heat stroke?
Not doing it anymore
Love it. Lots of ideas.
So glad!
How do you keep them from digging under fence???
everything is great, will definitely take your advice, your bunnies very much, greetings from Russia
Thanks for stoping by!
I love your rabbit area!
Thank you so much
I like this setup!
thanks
WOW ! NICE SET UP!!!
Thanks!
How tall are your dividers between the pens? looks about 2 feet. Have you ever have a rabbit go over?
There are about 2 feet tall, but If you look right by the ramps to the covered part there is an extension that makes the dividers taller.
I noticed that in some of your other videos.
Oh wow look at them loving life
How do you manage rabbit manure in a colony setting?
We have a leaf Vacuum, and just suck it right up.
super you invented it all yourself?
How do you attach the ramps at the top?
They are screwed in from the side if the Diagonal pease
hello its ok to put all the excess buck in the colony? just buck no doe thank you
We tried this and our TWO rabbits tore up every single bit of grass until it was just mud. They’re still there and doing great but I wish we had a way to let them graze like this.
wow that is some set up!
How is after one year?
They were good ! But we decided to move on to cows ...
They were good ! But we decided to move on to cows ...
Is your feed bill dramatically reduced
It was at first but they can mow it down in less then a week
I love it sir im your new follower
Thanks
How you gatsh those rabbits?
Don’t have them anymore
Nice, you must not have coyotes or neighbor dogs. Our dachshund got into our chicken run made from chicken wire, tore his mouth but killed everyone one of the chicks, after that I no longer use chicken wire, only ¼" or ½" hardware cloth.
we did not
How much did it cost
Don't you have to worry about snakes getting the babies?
I do worry, but we have never seen one snake anywhere on our property
Wouldn't need to worry much. I bet the big friends would protect the little guys
Why did you stop ?
moved
so nice home for rabbits
Thanks
Love Yusuf setup
My pet rabbit would love this
that is super nice!
Missy Rabbit thanks
All you can eat grass buffet? I swear my mom tried to feed me something like this when I got sick. Not good
Hahaha
I love it
Thanks!
Black and white😍
Plant some mint,basil.,oregano,lettuce,barley
Do u have a video where u harvest the rabbits for meat?
Thats crazy
Yum!
That's genius
Thanks
Woowmi like this
Coyotes or wild dogs could easily destroy it.
Well it's been 2 years going strong.
I have a large animal trap next to my setup. Wild cats around the pen area prompted me to buy it but I haven't seen a stray predator since I bought it.
Too low cant tell what youre saying
Glenda Gonser weird, we can here it, is anyone else having a problem hearing it?
they will get heart attack with that dog barking constantly. we know dog is natural predator
Tương tác nha bạn
