New subscriber from Michigan, we raise New Zealand and California meat rabbits, heavy milking lines of Reg Alpine's dairy goats, wild mustangs not wild anymore. Chickens, ducks, turkeys. Above bed garden, small orchard with gapes vines. Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.
That sounds like a fun operation! I'm definitely jealous of the horses. They are on my wish lists.
I like this🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂!!!
Thank you!
Good job guys! It's always trial and error my sweet friend when figuring out stuff. I just love watching Declan as well! Tell him his friend Alisha will see him soon!! ❤️
He can't wait to see you, and I can't either! It's going to be so much fun to show you our homestead
@@LivingtheHightLife yes we can't either!! Fun is what I need!!
Thanks for sharing. It brought back memories of making some cages for my rabbits. I think your cages turned out quite well.
Thank you!
That’s awesome ❤
Thank you!
In this you say the door openings are large to fit a 5 gallon buxket nexting box? Id like tonsee a video of what that looks like and how you safely move it with kits in it to check on them.
I have kits due next week so I will make a video on it soon.
Thanks so much!!!
Have your cages rest on wood will cause problems later on. You should hang the cages It also helps with snakes getting into your cages. you can build a ramp so all the waste is collected in a smaller footprint.
We deal with wood and rabbits often since we use it for our rabbit tractors and rabbit colony also. We definitely took the cons into concern when constructing this set up. I feel much more secure using the wood and the cage only rests on 1/2" of the wood.
Good morning my friend and family. What state are you in? I raised rabbits about 7 years ago. I had about two hundred at one time
We are in South Carolina
You are one of his babies..lol.. 😊
One of who's babies? 🤔
Your husband.. was filing the doors for you not to scrape your arm.. he said it's for the babies (kits) you are also one of his babies.. he loves you to the moon .. you can see it in his face..
If you lay the side on the bottom it will work better
This way worked pretty well, but I may try that in the future
Great video! We are just about to build some new cages ourselves. How do you baby proof the floor?
You don't need to. By the time the rabbits are coming out of the nest box they are big enough to navigate the 1/2" x 1 inch floor openings and that space is not big enough for even the newest kits to fall through
@@LivingtheHightLife great, thank you. 😃
Sun,rain,draft,winter...do you have meskalito???= miksomatoza
It has a roof for rain. Our winters are fairly mild, rarely getting below freezing during the day. To keep warm, we give each of our rabbits nest boxes to burrow in.
The roof catches the rain and collects it in barrels to water the rabbits.
Drafts aren't a big deal for us. Most of our year is spent trying to harness drafts to cool our rabbits because we stay hot.
Myxomatosis does occur here. We have lots of mosquitos that can transmit it. We have never had an issue with it though.
How does your garden grow this season?
Any change from the problems of last year?
I may do a video of it this week to give an update. So far, I haven't had any of the same problems from last year.
Do you know when they will be doing the homesteading classes ?
When who will?
Please send me link for flooring wire
I don't have a link. Depending on where you are located you may find them cheaper at a farm store or on Amazon. I'm not sure where you shop
You got a 5 hole cage
Yes, I made a 15 ft cage setup that has 5 holes in it.
