Incredible work I was very impressed to see how beautiful the cage came out despite the use of used wood Respect and love From Jerusalem Palestine 🇵🇸 The baby is so cute my God bless him 💚
Another thing to add to the cage are resting mats so they don't get sore hocks from the wire ;) I've been breeding for 3 years and started out with New Zealands and the same wire mesh floor you have, unfortunately within the first year the welding started to come apart and saged in places. Ended up upgrading to 1" x 1/2" 16 gauge wire and its holding up amazing! Best of luck in your new journey!
Thank you! Yes unfortunately we are already having those issues with the flooring wire. I'll be upgrading it soon. Where do you find the mats? I've used peices of cardboard or scrap wood but they always destroy them.
@@katrinacryer I get plastic ones off of Amazon that have holes for the poo to fall through. They are super easy to clean and have two little tabs on each end that hook under the wire so the rabbits can't move them around!
@@katrinacryer Also I don't know if you've come across this yet but I've been putting my wire on the underside of the hutch (with fence staples that you hammer in) so that the rabbits don't pee on the wood in the corners.
Just watched your video about transforming a chicken coop into a rabbit area. Unfortunately your comments are turned off since your videos are made for kids. Looks awesome though! Did you use anything to water proof the floor?
@@katrinacryer thanks! Yeah I need to figure out the whole editing and uploading thing lol I used a waterproof paint on the floor when the coop was first built.
“Sore hocks are caused by several things, none of which are from a GOOD CLEAN wire floor. They can be genetic but more often is caused by flimsy or rusted, wet or dirty floors where feces has been allowed to accumulate or something as simple as a rabbit that thumps at every sound. Rescue organizations have found rabbits living in filth in wire cages and those rabbits have often had sore hocks and the assumption was that it was caused by the wire floor. What caused the sore hocks was the build up of manure left wet by urine. When fur gets wet and soiled the fur develops a fungus that peels the fur away from the foot leaving it open to become infected. Rusty floors, even if kept clean can result in sore hocks from the constant abrasion and consequently infection.” Barbi Brown
@Vanessa Ullrich Caines Hi, I don’t think you are rude, you have your opinion. Here is mine, I have found rabbits to be pretty easy as to time and space required to care for them. We had other small livestock; lambs, pigs and chickens and family pets. We had good healthy pedigreed show rabbits. We purchased this type of rabbit because breeders of show rabbits usually have spent time to minimize unwanted traits in their stock. This could range from body type, things that would be considered disqualifications, ie malocclusion of the teeth, deformations due to genetics etc. I hope you find enjoyment in the time and care you give your rabbits.
That is so funny that you have a white and a black bunny! We just bought a white and a black bunny yesterday that looked identical to yours 😄👍🏻 Nice hutch 👌🏻
This upsets me, no bedding, nowhere for them to hide, no enrichment, nothing to chew on. And so little space, they need a run. Rabbits need to run, hop and binky. And just a wire floor for their little feet 😢
Hay rack to high and holes far to small. Drip bottles not good just use a bowl for there water. Cage is a good size but no sleeping shelter filled with straw bedding.
I built this about 2 years ago now and it has held up well. Just make sure to use heavy duty staples, I didn't as a beginner builder and had to go back and reinforce it with better ones. Also make sure to use a raccoon proof latch and you may need to zip tie on your feeders so they can't pop them off and get through the opening.
I used 1 full pallet plus 4 2x3x8s and a couple of scrap 1x1s for the door and framing the front. But if you build it completely out of pallets you would need 3 (mainly for the studs).
I am sure you fond out at tis you used can be chew by rabbits and they'll vet out or something pull them thur the wire and hurt or kill the rabbits witch suck it hard to learn what won't work for rabbits cages but for showing what to cent when you make repairs of do it different ly next time ?? and won't have your rabbits and bunnies on ground where safe being crash in to by dogs and. Coyote s not at all

The baby is so cute my God bless him 💚
Thank you! God bless you as well
God bless Jerusalem 🙏
@@sherryjohnson3804 and god bless you two and everyone else
I liked seeing your little man running around with one shoe, so cute.
Thanks 😊 They are both always losing one or both shoes 🤷♀️ lol they just don't like them I guess
I agree with you no where to hide
Will definitely take this to account when I start with rabbits again next year
Good job! You have nice big doors for easy access, very smart!
You did a good job with that junk of wood available to you. I too have rabbits and I love caring for them.

Soooo wholesome ❤️👍
Love the video. Thanks for sharing
Rabbits are pretty easy to care for. You’ve made very versatile cages. The mom with babies will have plenty room for them to grow and be comfortable.

good job,,thank u
Hi I’m new to your channel, I want to add rabbits also in the spring. What’s a good place to look for them
I found mine on Craig's list but since then I've discovered that a couple breeders in my area have Facebook pages!
Great job
I breed rex, that's a beautiful otter! Congrats on the rabbits. How are they doing?
Hay rack to high and holes far to small.
Drip bottles not good just use a bowl for there water.
Cage is a good size but no sleeping shelter filled with straw bedding.
Love the pallet use!
Hai it was a good work and loved it so much
The place where you are
Thank you!
Good job ma’am
Do you think raccoons can get into this hutch? Or is it pretty stable?

@@katrinacryer Okay! Thank you! :)
How many pallets did this take?
I used 1 full pallet plus 4 2x3x8s and a couple of scrap 1x1s for the door and framing the front. But if you build it completely out of pallets you would need 3 (mainly for the studs).
