- Moving plans are in action! That means that we need to create a brand new setup for the rabbitry. In this video I set up 6 new cages and show you how I'm using an old barn to house the rabbits.

At the time of rewatching this has already been a year, I'm glad you are back at posting on a more regular schedule, helps us a lot on our own Rabbitry/homestead.
Great stuff!
Your doing a great job!! I’m excited to see all your rabbits in those cages!! And yes the trench is for electric and water😉
Love the new property! Good to see you are reusing the teal stone hutch!! Good luck with everything!
Tiffany, Can't wait to see all your future content, it"s going to be so exciting !
Hopefully you can finally get your goats ❤️🤗
Great vid Tiffany! Excited to see your journey.
My Crash ❤
Congratulations on the new farmstead!
Looking wonderful
Can’t wait to see your new journey with this farm! I came for the hutch plans, followed for all the animals :)
I like the music you add to your videos 💗
I LOVE the teal color ❤
Set up is looking great
Wow!! I love your setup! I can't wait for the finished product! We are currently building a shed with handing cages for my rabbits. I don't have a large rabbitry, but I have about 10 rabbits! So excited for the rabbits to come!
Love your videos, I’m excited for you and its
coming along so quickly.
While watching, I was thinking about what you might do regarding predators or if there are coyotes etc.
I’m sure your dogs will be amazing at keeping everything safe, it was just a thought as we have foxes and coyotes as well.
I’m just starting my rabbitry and have been learning so much from you!
I love the teal paint!!! 💕😊
❤
I love your setup!!! I’m starting a rabbitry and your videos have been soooo helpful!!! I just have a question. Did you buy the cages or make them yourself? If you made them, can you make a video on how you did it?
Great job with the new setup design!!
Looks so good!
Looks Great 🤩🤩
Love the design i did something similar with the hanging all my cages free swing one row i had 175 rabbits at one time.
looking good
KW cages makes some nice stuff. I have some of their transport cages I have corrogated roofing for a poop chute. I call mine the poop chute 9000 lol.
You had a video on rabbit cages wth baby wire what size was the cage i wanted to order 4 of them. Thanks.
Fantastic job, well done. Self reliance is such a valuable trait. But I have a question… how will you keep snakes from eating the little kits? I need to change my set up for that very reason. Snakes can EASILY get through that 1x2 hardware cloth on your cages. Ask me how I know❕… a 5 ft+ black rat snake easily got into one of the ‘grow-out’ cages, ate a youngster, then got stuck on the way out due to the bunny bolus in its belly.
As soon as I discovered the snake, I grabbed a pair of lopping shears and took its damned head off. I’m thinking maybe nailing up plywood on the underside of our barn loft, thus creating a solid ceiling to attach the cages to overhead but within easy reach for feeding & cleaning.
I’d love some suggestions on a good way to hang the cages from the ceiling far AWAY from the walls (bc snakes can and do climb) but still be able to take down the cages w/o too much difficulty for deep cleaning. Any brilliant, creative, solution oriented minds out there have any suggestions ?? Thanks in advance.
I just posted a video on making stacker cages today! Luckily we haven’t had a problem with snakes bothering the rabbits.
You've probably heard this a bunch. I love the color teal you painted the hutch. Could you tell me what brand and may be the paint code. I've been to two paint stores , they don't even come close. Thanks, Stephen from Oklahoma

The video I have been waiting for. When we rented our house last year we asked to have our cat inside, they said yes. We had the rabbit but we thought we dint need to tell them she was outside. Since our house had a fence Henry (Henry is our cat) became an outside cat and he loves it. We sent a picture of henrys outside hutch and they saw the rabbit and said no more animals and they were mad lol. The things that happens,,, Hopefully when we own our own house we can another cat and maybe rabbit. Sorry for making this essay that you have to read.
I’m so sorry that happened!
@@TealStoneHomestead at least we still have our cat and rabbit. :)
My does are trying to bite each other through the walls of their wire cages. For now they are far enough apart that they can't hurt each other but I noticed you used modular cages and wasn't sure if that is something that they overcome or if it depends on the bunny. Let me know if there is anything I should be doing if you can! Please and thank you for the awesome content (super excited for all of you!)
Hi, I'm from Nigeria please what is the size of each room of the cages
Really like this idea in the barn for off the grown. Where did you get your cages? Thanks again so glad I found your channel. ❤
My cages are from KW Cages 😊
Wow!! What do you use as your camera? I am so inspired by your channel and have learned so much! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much! I use a canon M50 with a 22mm f/2 lens most of the time 😊
Süper 👍👏🇹🇷
Why has no one ever taught me that trick with the drill? I feel so stupid now. 🤦♀️
Great idea. Seems like I've seen a video of yours with this completed and full of rabbits in the background. So this must work. Looks great in theory. Can't wait for a review in the future.
Im concerned about swaying on either row when the bunnies hop around. As well as the weight of mommy and babies in your 36 x 30 cages. But definitely looking forward to the review.
Also, you're definitely gonna need a steeper slope on the roll away poop shoots to allow for proper drainage and ease of cleanup so, I don't think you'll be able to do one for your upper cages but definitely for your lower ones. Maybe if you added a stool, you could raise the upper row higher to allow a steep 45 degree slope for those. The stool to reach the inside of the upper cages. I've seen it work well on other channels. One channel even has a hay troth at the bottom of the shoot to catch everything and then can be wheeled away with a dolly once full. And can have excrement easily stirred or turned in the troth for pre-composting and to keep smell down. Just some ideas for you to ponder on. Cheers!
Thank you! No swaying will happen. I’m very adamant that my cages stay as still as possible 😊
Hi i am new to having pet bunnies/rabbits and I’m having trouble making them like a diy hutch/house. Do you have any ideas on how I could build them a good house ?
They're going to chew those little wooden blocks.
👏
i really like it! also what kinda other animals are you getting when you are all moved in?
We will just have to wait and see 😊
@@TealStoneHomestead i cant wait😀😀😀
Show us some processed rabbits from butchering to table and recipes
Recipes: rabbit smoked jerky and noodel soup 👆look video👌
I'm moving and will have a rabbit shed instead of my current hutches. Do you have any tips about ventilation for the shed?
I would just say constant airflow (like box fans). If you have windows, you can try to make some sort of cross breeze. Installing vents and leaving the door open in hot weather can help the warm air escape.
i would have been upset if you did not paint more stuff teal lol.😋
I have to!! 😆❤️
If you have a gutter at the front of a 30" cage, you're going to be getting urine on your clothes every time you try to get to the kits at the back. That's why my slants always face the back.
How do you dispose of all that rabbit poop? And are the breed of rabbits you have a Rex?
Ps love your videos and bunnys
What brand are those cages? Thank you
KW Cages 😊
@@TealStoneHomestead thank you
Question is it ok to breed brother n sister ??
No, that’s is the only breeding that is unadvised. Although technically possible with really REALLY perfectly genetic rabbits, it will make all the bad genetics front tenfold in the kits.
i don’t understand why people put bunnies in such tiny cages. we wouldn’t put chickens or ducks or cows or sheep in something so small. rabbits were made to forage and move and binky. why not something like a tractor, where they can at least move around and be happy before you eat them?
I also tractor them. I see that you’re new here 😊 many of my rabbits are show rabbits. Their health, happiness, and safety means a lot to me. I have a lot of videos showing my rabbits free ranging. I also forage for them.
@@veritablyvermilion4726 this is so wrong. Rabbit need very large spaces with a place to hide. They can then hop around when they are happy and hide when they want to feel safer. If the rabbits your saw were scared of big spaces, it is because they were not provided with an adequate environment. They are not livestock or things to show, they are living being and deserve to be treated as such. This girl said that she takes good care of the rabbits but this is very, very far from the truth. Those cages are so small, it’s literally animal cruelty in most countries in Europe and you could be persecuted for actions like this. It’s like locking a person in a toilet of their whole life. The bottom wire hurts their paws constantly. You are torturing these animals, please stop.

While the sizes are small, that is really the only problem. She does take great care of her rabbits as far as feeding and everything else. God made animals for us to hunt. Though rabbits make great pets, they have good meat and can be a great homestead rabbits. The wire in her cages are completely suitable and don’t give sore hocks. The wire is 14 gauge so it doesn’t give sore hocks like this gauge wire but obviously you didn’t know that. This is nothing like a mass production. If you know the life that your chicken nuggets from McDonald’s had, then you would know that this is nothing at all like mass production. She isn’t doing it for money. Don’t hate until you know the facts please, thank you.
