- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- This is the second hutch built for the back-yard rabbitry. Its has 3 large bays (31in x 4ft) for female/doe rabbits and 1 (4ft x 4ft) for the weaned babies. A few tweaks were made since the last hutch build. The cross members no longer hold poop and has a better locking mechanism. You’ll even get to see some beautiful snow-white colored baby bunnies.

Amazing rabbit hutch
Beautiful job I just built one much the same as yours getting back into rabbits all the best
Nice! Thinking slide out trays under. The manure is fantastic. Doesn't need to break down
great job brother! well done, greetings from Algeria
Thank you!
I built a waste management system into my rabbit hutch using a waterproof tarp so I can keep it under a cemented patio cover that way the concrete won't get pooped on. I'm thinking of doing a video on the build. I designed it to be self-cleaning and looks kinda cool.
Awesome idea
I had the luck of finding this thick plastic liner that was used for transport to secure a load in a box trailer. I used it as a shoot (in an angle) that dumps into a 55 gallon drum I cut in half. I mix half sand half mulch in the drum and that helps with the stink.
Thats a great idea!
Cool sound 👍
I’m so glad I found your rabbit hutch build video and thanks so much for this grow out update. I’m new to building large projects (just finished my chicken coop-it’s amazing in case you were wondering) and am excited to take on this hutch. The way you show/teach is ideal for me. Thanks a ton and stay awesome, dude! Your persona reminds me of a slightly dysfunctional Bob Ross 😆
Lol thanks. Glad you like it.
Nice... I also raised rabbits... Already parked here... Keep it up
Awesome! Glad to hear it and thank you.
Planning on doing this build with a poop chute under that funnels into a bucket. Also on the edges where the poo collects thinking that a ripped edge in a triangle shape on top of that edge would help with that.
Yes it would. Good thinking. Good luck on your project.
Love this! Wish this man was near by so i could hire you to build mine.
Love your story. Let’s hear more like that 😊😅
Awesome edit
Thanks man!
You are so funny, I learned and got entertained All at once👏
Thank you
Hey buddy great stuff but make sure to watch those hands when using that framing nailer! New subscriber.
Thank you and welcome!
Good stuff bud. Im about to build a few cages for my "Racken House" and have been shopping for ideas. Id love to see tips and tricks for rabbit stuff and things. keep up the good content :) Team America!
Thank you! I'll try to work on something like that.
I love your design and sense of humor XD. I wish there was like a set of blueprints with all the materials and cuts listed you could link too though.
This might help. th-cam.com/video/f3YICCa9fn8/w-d-xo.html
@@HalfAHandyman Thank you!!
Awesome
Excelent.👍
Thank you
I am a new subscriber, just a FYI your mesh on the bottom should have the 1/2" wires on the top not the 1" wires, easier on the rabbits feet.
Welcome to the channel!
Please how to do the feeders
Can u give me over all dimensions?? Or show ur blue print better? I want to build it with my dad and I’m trying to add up how much lumber I would need
This has a little more detail on the measurements. th-cam.com/video/f3YICCa9fn8/w-d-xo.html
I love the way you deliver your content Hahha. Are you growing rabbits for eating or selling?
Selling. I plan to be a bunny dealer and make millions lol.
@@HalfAHandyman damn! I though I was the only one to think of this.....
The more people that do this stuff, the better.
I need to know, do you eat them
I sell them
Can rabbits be trained to use a litter box?
I've heard that you can. I haven't tried it though.
Subbed! Do you grow out for meat or sale? I was going to grow for meat, but I've had to change that into a manure operation, but I'm curious if you do any thing to offset your feed cost?
Thank you for the sub. I sell them to cover the cost. In winter it's a little harder to move them though. Are you selling the manure?
@@HalfAHandyman Yeah. The wife loves rabbits and couldn't let me go through with the meat side of it, but they have to help pay their way somehow. I have two super chill and nice Silver Fox and as soon as my new wire gets here I'll be building a new hutch that will help me harvest their manure more efficiently. I already have a ton of their manure in the garden beds for this year.
@@jaket8947 That's awesome. Im planning on building a raised bed and will be using it for that also. I though with all the bunnies I have, that there would be more manure, but I haven't gotten enough to do all the bald spots in my yard yet.
@@HalfAHandyman What kind do you have? Smaller breed or just a lot of bald spots lol? I feel like my girls give me a lot but right now it's also mixed with hay when I'm moving it to the beds so it seems like more probably. My plan is to sell it both in solid and compost tea form and as soon as my comfrey gets large enough I'll start making that into a liquid fertilizer concentrate.
@@jaket8947 Not sure what age it's going to happen, but soon as i start balding ill be wearing hats in all the videos lol. That sounds like a good idea. Ive been wanting to try out those comfrey plants.
You know we hate the music right …
Where do you find your floor mesh?
1/2" x 1" Mesh 16-Gauge Wire: farnorthcorp.com/product/welded-wire-16-gauge-m-1-x-1-2/ (For the floors)
Thanks!
Out of curiosity, do you know why this is better for rabbit feet than 1/2×1/2?
@@johnfolk1448 i guess you could probably use it. The mesh i have allows the poop to fall through with no problems. Idk if the smaller mesh would clog or not. If you try it, id like to know.
I'll probably go with the 1/2"×1" non vinyl. Seems lots of people use it, but my problem is I tend to over think things. So I see someone has the 1/2" hardware cloth and its hurting their rabbits feet, and I wonder if I should get vinyl. My big problem is I live in Hawaii so options are limited due to shipping. If I go with 1/2" vinyl, I'll be sure to share what happens.
@@johnfolk1448 hardware cloth is thin. Not good for durability or the rabbits. 16 gauge is the minimum thickness i would go. That's what i have and no problems from the rabbits
