Your rabbit setups??

[greymane]

Here is my latest hutch. It is five cubbies wide. It has a sloped roof that opens front and back for easy access on either side.

Please don't laugh at mine, due to predators and then this horrid heat and water well problems I moved my 11 buns into the house, they now have their own pink room No real problem considering we already had the room empty and it is tiled....... o.k., d.h. says they play all night....but I don't hear anthing....

It's kind of quickly put together, had to rush find the black cages, someone had a house fire and they sold the cages that were just sitting out front for $5 each and since my long hutches weren't going threw a door and down a hall......... it works tho, they got a window unit a fan, are more active and stress free. and that's what matters. I'm working on getting poop chutes made, some of the buns will use their boxes, but then some......they got tubs.

I have a small 8 x 12 bunny barn, made it myself with the help of my uncle. I keep my bunnies in wire stackable cages with pull-out trays. I have some of my bunnies outside in rabbit hutches. You can make rabbit hutches and also you could make wire cages, but it takes time and practice. haven't done it myself but I know people who make their own wire stackable rabbit cages and hutches.

LOVE the Room! Looks and sounds like your buns love it too. Hey if it works.... I don't think anyone here would laugh at you doing something to make your buns comfortable and stress free. Now that you have the buns in the house with that smart move with the cages, once the heat dies down and the crisp fall days come (thankfully) here, you can fill up the outdoor hutches again with NEW bunnies.

I love the indoor cage room, I was thinking with this heat wave, there must be a lot of rabbits having a hard time. How nice you were able to provide a cool area for them.

Wow! Your bunnies don't fight?

Thats what I was just wondering. I put 2 male rabbits in 1 cage, they didnt fight but they mounted each other allot. All my doe rabbit will kill each other. That is a good setup though. I love dutches!!!!

I have two males too. They are three months old. No fighting, very affectionate to each other. Sleep together and groom each other. No fighting over treats. No mounting yet but am getting them nuetered at 4-1/2 months. I hear it doesn't stop the sexual urge but does make them mellow. If they aren't doing it now, maybe I can curb the urge to mount one another. Who knows, I'm knew with rabbits too. Sometimes if one is more dominant that the other, the only way he can do to stop the "throws of passion" is to fight back. The stories my vet told me.

I like your set up. Here's mine. They are very handsome dutches you have.

Turned a chicken coop into a Rabbit Hutch.

Here is what I have setup for the time being. It is a 8x12 shed and is doing really well. I still have a hard time with the heat. Planning on installing a AC unit soon.

They each get a time out for fun during the day.

My favorite girl out to play!

 

[Ms. Research]

I really like your set up. In door and outside for play. Thanks for sharing. I definitely have to share this with my Better Half. Lots of ideas for our set up.

And your favorite girl looks sweet. Love the shading.

Our three breeding rabbits (two does, one buck) came with a massive wooden/wire hutch. I am really not pleased with it because, despite all my scrubbing, it isn't very sanitary. It reeks of urine and is full of cobwebs that I can't get in and swipe out. The girls pee and poop on the wood and it's built in such a way that I can't quite reach to clean. sigh.

I want to switch to something like this:

But it is a bit spendy. Does anyone here know where I can get something like this but cheaper...? I'm not very handy with making my own cages (though I'm sure I will eventually get there...).

If there is another thread about this, please direct to the appropriate place and forgive me. I'm new to this site.

Do you know if there are any Rabbit shows in your area? Here where I am I have noticed that the sellers at the shows seem to be cheaper. If there is something that I need now I just wait till there is a show.
