Our rabbit set up (pics)

VERY nice set-up!

It doesn't take me any time to clean it...

(They're DH's buns.... )

He said it takes him about 20 minutes to dump the trays and sweep the floor, which he does 2x a week. He may have to do it more often once it gets good and hot and stinky. This will be our 1st summer with this barn sooooo.....we shall see.

LOL...I see... I wish it didn't take me anytime to clean too!

Really, that doesn't sound nearly as bad as I was envisioning...even if in the middle of summer you have to clean 3 or 4 times a week...it's not that bad

THANK YOU! Now I feel more confident ordering the right cages to get them moved inside and out of the oppressive heat! at least I won't be regretting it when cleaning days are scheduled

OKay...I have been wonderin' and I hope it isn't too late to ask and you see this...but do tell me please...

How much time does it take to clean things with your set up?

How often do you clean things (i.e. dump out/rinse trays, etc)

What is the odor like? Do you have any special "anti-stink" secrets you would share?

I'm curious what your time allotment is with this set up towards cleaning, as clearly the feed/water part doesn't change so much as the clean up would though...

I ask only because we are fast approaching summer here, and it is already HOT! We have a shed, complete with air conditioning already....and I have been wanting to get the rabbits into the ac before I am out side running frozen stuff back and forth...but my ONLY HOLD UP is A) needing new cages with catch pans underneath to do so and B) the smell, rabbit "waste" removal factor....

Right now they are all out of doors in hanging cages, I need only rake once a week or so to remove all stinkiness...and I KNOW that would change indoors...so what is your "clean up time" looking like? I'm dying to know! Thanks in advance!

Have you thought of raising worms under the rabbits you can have a foot of poop and no smell.
