Thank you for the helpful videos. I'm a single mom with minimal experience with power tools & my kids want rabbits. I'm determined to be able to do projects such as this on my own. I have to back your videos up quite a bit to fully understand what your doing but I've found them more helpful than many others I've watched.
Teresa Young thank you very much. It is a challenge to keep the video short and still address issues that arise. If you have questions feel free to email me. goodson.charlie@gmail.com
I have received my blueprints quickly and got right to building it. I modified them to utilize the full length of boards and made a twin cage and so far has been very easy to do. live in the country and having critters that could possibly pull the cage down I used 4x4's for the legs. also changed the size of door for easier access and the enclosed area a little wider because I have very large rabbit's. will post pictures as soon as we are done. thanks for the great blueprints.
I have never set up a place to have people down load blue prints. I need to do this but for now when people email me and ask I reply with the blue prints attached.
+Masis Markosyan preference i guess, when nailing two 2X4's together I would likely use a nail. The nail is much faster and less likely to break than a screw. when putting ply wood down I would use a Screw. The screw will keep the plywood tighter than a nail can. Also If I ever have to replace a peace of plywood it is much easier to take a screw out than it is to take a nail out. but either would work.
May I please get your a copy of your blue prints for this rabbit hutch. Your going to laugh but I bought 2 baby rabbits for my grand daughters not realizing that one was a boy and the other was a girl !!! Well soon we were having babies (5) And just as soon as we saw them ran down and bought a cage... Mr Buck Well found out just now she had more babies so now I'm needing to take out this first litter and separate the babies I need a cages for one for girls and one for boys... O Do Not Know what to do.. Have to separate them all real soon. Well I know Daddy is in another cage he can't get to her again but the babies from 1st liter got to get them out LOL They are multiplying Need any bunnies? If so you can email me these plans to me and I will Thank you ahead of time...🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰
+Freedom Now Yes when i make these hutches and sale them I usually put shingles on them. On this one My goal was to keep it as cheep as possible. shingles add about 6 dollars to the cost.
+Tony “The Red Eyed Fox” Cornejo I have used 2X2's, 2x3's and 2x4s before it works well with any of them. in this video i was using 2x3's. but when i designed it, i originally designed it to be build with 2x4's.
The size of plywood doesn't really matter. Sometimes I use thinner to save money. It makes it lighter but in a few cases I have had a mother rabbits try to build a nest and chew or dig their way threw the wood, (this is rare) .... When weight and money are not a issue I have also used thicker wood. Either have worked.
can you send me the cut list. I am trying to build a four cage stackable unit times 2. they are not meat rabbits. their my 6 year old daughters who loves each one, which I promised to keep for her due to her love for them. I would appreciate any recommendations you may have.
I would say this is to small but if it is attached to a large run it will be fine and also no wire floor it can hurt there feet and I would recommend painting or varnishing it to keep it looking nicer and cleaner for longer but after than its fine 😊
Miranda Schmidt the goal here is not to make them a palace but to make an affordable house the fulfills the needs. According the American rabbit breeders association the cage is larger than the needed.
@@bboutdooradventures491 Rabbits need to live inside and that cage is way to small for a rabbit that is like having a human live in a closet and call it more than enough room. I would recommend watching 101 rabbits or lennon the bunny on youtube so you can under stand where i am comming from.
so sorry. my kids are learning the metric system and it is frustrating to me. I can only imagine trying to learn the English system were nothing adds up.
Sorry, but having a wire floor is just lazy, rabbits can get a dangerous infection on their feet called sore hocks which are extremely painful for them. Should be about about 3 sqft bigger as well. Apart from that it looks very well built, just please make your viewers aware of the mesh floor.
+George Eaton No, it's not lazy, it's actually more sanitary for the rabbits. As long as you provide some type of resting platform for them and maintain a proper cleaning schedule the rabbits will be fine.
No.. it is lazy. As long as you litter tray train your rabbits and use dust free cat litter, changing this every few days, they will be more than happy! Plus its not unknown for healthy rabbits to eat there own poos as part of there diet. How would you like having the whole of your house but one room covered wire mesh?
Rabbits don't pick their poop up off the ground to eat it. they eat their own caecotrops as they are produced, straight from the butt. Sore hocks are most typically a genetic issue and suffered by many dwarf breeds, particularly mini rex because the bones in their feet are typically bowed. They get sore hocks on almost any surface. Better breeding is making it less of an issue. Wire floor bottoms are sanitary and as long as the spacing is appropriate and the wire isn't rusty, it won't cause sore hocks in well furred/boned feet.
Sorry, your missing the point here, just take the time to litter train your rabbit and clean it out every few days and it will be just as hygienic. I'm not sure where you found this information from, but you can't deny a rabbit would be far more comfortable on a solid floor, especially a larger, heavier breed such as lops. Even with fur, the total surface area of a wire underneath the rabbits foot is far from adequate to support the rabbits weight comfortably. You mentioned they eat there own caecotrops which is of course correct, sorry for not using the technical term first. But how would a rabbit eat these caecotrops if they were to simply fall through the bottom of the wire floor?
+George Eaton they don't even touch the ground if they are eating them. Rabbits tuck their head under and eat it as it comes out. My info comes from 10 years of raising mini rex rabbits. I have a mix of wire bottom, plastic bottom, and wood bottom cages. The plastic is just as bad if not, worse than the wire with sore hocks. Wood is the best for about 6 months then it's too dirty even if it has been coated. Unless you're changing that litter box daily, the risk of sore hocks is about the same.

The angled pieces should be cut at a 15 degree angle.
Thats one big cowboy !!! 🤠
So nice thanks
Can I get the blue print emailed to me plz
does any one have a copy of the blueprints they can send me pretty please!!!
MaryAnne Martin if you email me I will send you a copy. Goodson.charlie@gmail.com
MaryAnne Martin sorry it took me so long. I have been out building cages and didn’t see your email.
I could also use them! I already emailed you!

how come sometimes you use nails and other times screws?

I’ll take 10 of them.

Did you end up putting some shingles on the roof too, or was this cage for inside? Looks really good man.

Did you use 2x2 or 2x4

I have done a follow up video on this hutch. th-cam.com/video/1UTyMBVgX_M/w-d-xo.html
When your from England and everything is in inches 😯
so sorry. my kids are learning the metric system and it is frustrating to me. I can only imagine trying to learn the English system were nothing adds up.
