Hi guys my name is Ian and I would like to get started in the art of rabbitry! I'm just getting going and I'd like to know what kind of environment/cage/hutch/whatnot I should have for me rabbits. I currently have four Lionhead Rabbits of various shapes and sizes.
Willy is a very shy butterscotch colored buck with a nice mane and decent size. Wanda is an itty bitty tortoise colored doe that I bought at an auction. The most adorable creature on the planet! She's very young, just getting her mane. Not sure of the exact age. And then I have two more that I bought from a woman who raises chickens primarily and needed to get rid of some rabbits that got sold to her. I got a big ole silvery colored rabbit that I believe to be a eunich (poor guy) with a very cool light brown mane. I say he's a Eunich because I couldn't quite know what gender it is. I didn't see a slit, but I think I did see what used to be his erm "masculinity". He was in a cage with a female rabbit who is now making a nest so she may have told him to "bugger off" and I also did see the silvery one humping the female recently. The female that was in with him is a butterscoth colored with brown patches. Cute little thing.
I currently have them all in smallish rabbit cages made simply for holding rabbits (they can easy hop around in them and I do cover them at night) but I know there's a way that I can make them a "home". Any suggestions? They will absolutely have to be outside. Looking forward to gettin started!
Thanks,
Ian
