We’ve decided to try our hand at raising rabbits from the “livestock”\u00a0perspective (even though they are technically not considered livestock).\u00a0I\u00a0realize many may find this disturbing; however,\u00a0we must be practical – there are several benefits that could be argued, but that’s for another time…\u00a0 For tonight, we look at the hutch.<\/p>\n

I found a supply of 9 free 9′ pallets that fit the bill for this build. We tore them down and built a\u00a09 space hutch:<\/p>\n

Details:<\/p>\n

Just over 8′ 6″ wide and\u00a0about 7′ tall and cages are 30″ deep made from pallet wood\u00a0and mesh, cement boards, cement blocks, tin roofing (to be installed shortly)\u00a0– very heavy.<\/p>\n

Top Row can house 1 buck and 4 does<\/p>\n

Bottom Row has 4 larger sections for weaned offspring litters.<\/p>\n

Between rows has Durock (tile backer board) on an angle\u00a0covered with plastic\u00a0for drainage<\/p>\n

Bottom row has “pit” style collection (to be shoveled into upcoming flow through vermicomposter – stay tuned)<\/p>\n

We are working on automatic watering valves etc. (more to come)<\/p>\n
