Ok, I am making run or pen style cages, no floors, no tops unless I make them stackable. 6x3 is Feet not NIC cubes, I won't be using those as its cheaper to use 1x2 inch cage wire. If I make them stackable I will use a wood frame and coroplast for the floors with carpet scraps to give traction...

I am really feeling the pinch for money right now. I want so badly to make the cages for these guys but I just do not have the money to get all the supplies at once AND get them altered so I can try to bond them. I feel pulled in a million directions. I stay focused on getting them altered so I...

At first we had him in a way too small cage while I figured out what to do. Fully stretched with feet out behind him? Right now just under 3 feet. He could not stretch in the cage we had him in so we swapped him into the biggest cage we have, moved Burnie to the 2nd biggest (he's the 2nd...

Yeah, time. He sure likes our foster kitten, Boo, though. I am glad he has made a friend.

Thank you, I can see he is curious, he just has this notion in his head that leaving a cage is bad. They had so ingrained I got some good scratches getting him from the hutch to the travel cage. He was frantic to get back into an enclosure. Kinda makes you wonder a bit huh?

He's actually got pretty good muscle, they were kept in a very large hutch. It was about 8 foot wide and 3 feet deep. About 3 feet high on the inside too. Though at this point he was one of the oldest in the hutch and the littler ones had it a little over crowded. I wish I had had more room to...

Ok here is Carlito currently stuck in a tiny cage til hubby gets home to help me play musical temp cages to get everyone in a cage that is ok for them until I can do better. See those ears? Only ever saw ears like that on young flemish giants. Saw his mom when I pulled him from a...

I plan to use 1 ft panels of 1x1 cage wire to make hay racks, my self. I think that coating might cause issues if swallowed. You should be able to remove it with an exacto knife.

I've been told the minimum out time should be 4 hrs. Those buns lucky enough to have runs attached to their cage so they can come and go as they please might do ok with less time out but they would not get as much of your time. I plan to give my rabbits 4x4 pens, a bit bigger if/when any...

Carlito (seen below) is a former meat pen rabbit. Any ideas on how to get him to come out of his cage? It is my understanding that in order to avoid broken backs from leaping out of high up hutches they got thunked on the nose if they came to the door. What would you do to get a rabbit...

We currently have 4 rabbits with plans to take in more, and to find homes for some after they are altered. I feed the following daily to any over 3 months old: 1 cup pellets (I blend the brands I can find so there are little problems when transfered to a new home-except those brands that...

Thanks Laura, I had done some reading and found that almost all REW animals do it. Something about their depth perception being altered is one theory behind it.

We got home a little later than we thought we would so no real work with the new rabbits today. Just feed and water. Did grab a few pics though: Carmella (formerly Fluffy) Carlito

I had to post here again to introduce our newest additions. First there is Carmella, formerly "Fluffy". She is a 2 year old Lionhead doe, formerly a classroom rabbit. Her former owner, a teacher, decided to rehome her when the school she works for changed their policy on pets in school. Here...

Deffinitely sounds right to Diamond too. I always find a bit left when I got to do the next feeding. So I may go ahead and drop her to 2/3rds since she is not eating it all anyway. Burnie however is a little vacuum anad would eat an entire bag of pellets if left to it. So I know I will have...

They are on one cup of pellets a day and I plant to cut back to 2/3s if I notice them getting too plump. I am also phasing out oats completely now. For both. Thank you for your thoughts!

Thanks! I had no clue what it was called and felt so silly writing up that description. But I am glad you knew what I meant. I will be sure to post photos when I have it done. I think I am going to start on it soon.

Quick note before I go work on some stuff. Just finalized getting the other classroom rescue. She is roughly the same age as Diamond. Mum was accidentally bred over this years spring break. It was an oops because kids from two classrooms who happened to be siblings brought home their...

Any tips on putting in a door on a pen style cage? If I use zip ties on one side can I use one of those c shaped closure things with a twisty close on it to hold the door shut? The things I am talking about were big a few years ago for kids to use as key chains and on their backpacks. I think...

Any chance you might have a large fishing net? The kind with a long handle? I watched animal cops and they were at a park where someone had dumped about 20 rabbits and they used these really big nets like you see fishermen using for 20lb+ fish. They caught most that way. Just a thought!
