How We Built Our Rabbit Cages

When we first got rabbits, my husband built the Fort Knox of rabbit cages for them. We were able to acquire wooden forms from a local factory and added wood to finish the frame and hardware cloth to the front and bottom. We did not take into account how hard it would be for us to get them out to breed. It was also difficult to clean because half of the floor was wood. Guess which half they liked to poop and pee on? These new ones have an all wire floor. I'm VERY excited about that! (I was the one who had to clean the other cages.) I'm not going to give measurements or a materials list, but I thought I would show you the process of how we built the cages. If you want measurements and a materials list, comment below and I will do my best to give them to you.

My oldest daughter, Kat, came running into the house the other day. She was outside giving water to the rabbits when she noticed something strange in one of the rabbit pens. You guessed it! 

Baby Rabbits!!!!

 

We were given two new rabbits a couple of months ago. I know I should have checked their sex. I even told myself to take the time. But I didn't. And one of them was a male. So now we have three extra bundles of fur.

We have three adult males and three adult females, as well. They are all separated now, of course. 

Here are some really interesting facts about raising rabbits!
