Several years ago we tried to raise our NZR rabbits in large tractors on the ground, moving them twice a day. The main problem we ran into is actually disease and parasites picked up most likely from wild rabbits who are plentiful around these parts. We have since switched to Silver Fox rabbits, keeping breeding stock in large wire cages, bringing forage to them and raising growers in tractors.

That was my thought as well. Fleas, ticks, and who knows what else.
