I finally got my first litter of babies after switching to the colony system from hutches. The babies are now just over 2 weeks old, and I moved them and the...
Anna,  There is a very good chance she's been bred back. My does will have kits 28-30 days apart in my colony. I would put smaller wire in the colony so...

Yes, Anna, that's exactly what happened to a friend of mine that I had given one of my does to, when her kids found a loose rabbit on the road and put him in...
Hi Anna, ... I've had does get re-bred withing 48 hours of giving birth. They'll kindle and then 30 days later here comes another litter. They do that when...
We have two four foot high kennels - chain link. Now, we used our chicken coop previously for, what else, chickens. But, my poor bunnies were looking rather...
if you give them an outside run (which i am all for actually) the does will dig their own burrows and yes it is very likely they will eat the grass down to...
Hi, ... It is my experience that they will reduce the area to dirt. I have 2 does and a buck (plus kits, I don't use grow-out pens) in an area about 25' x...
Hi,  My indoor colony is in a concrete floored building, and in my experience, straw is the easiest to clean, especially in the areas that they really...

My buns seem to be smart enough to come in if the rain is really bad - but they will stay outside in the light rain if it is warm. I closed off the outdoor...

Cece,  I have a buck & 6 does in a 16x8 indoor colony with a 10x16 outdoor pen attached. They are Holland Lops, so my biggest adult is only 4lbs. If they...
Isnt a 9x16 pen good for 2 does in each and one buck that gets cycled between the two pens? It could hardly be worse then the poor buggers in the 36x36 inch...
If you only plan to keep 2 does in those size pens, I think that would be plenty of room. I wouldnt keep more than 3-4 grown meat rabbits in a 9x16 pen, but...

Our shed floor is dirt so I am thinking of either putting down wire or gravel. What is the cheapest wire that can be put down that a big NZ couldnt dig...
I used chicken wire in the floor, and I tried the perimeter and they dug long tunnels and got out. I'd wire the entire floor. On May 23, 2009, at 9:33 AM,...
Brandi (anyone else), Are you saying the chicken wire was strong enough to prevent digging? I was told that their teeth could cut it. Chicken wire sure is...
Mine have been contained in chicken wire for 2 years with no problems. They have never dug through it or chewed through it, so when I built a bigger pen, I...

Hi I'm Lindy and I just joined a few days ago. I wanted to say that I'm glad this group is here. It will be nice not to have to defend myself for my decision...
just my opinion from what I have gathered about rabbits and chicken wire is that if you are going to cage them then it is not advisable. Of course :) there is...
