Meat Rabbit setup and more

11 kits!

Here's our new setup.  We got hamster cages for free on Craigslist and joined them together to make bigger cages.  Bought the floor pieces from Klubertanz, et voila!  Awesome bunny cages!

We used the plans at this site to build our nesting boxes.  We made them bigger since NZWs are bigger rabbits.  We chose wire floors for the nesting boxes, definitely worked great!

We also got a great little 10 x 10 metal shed for free on Craigslist.  Put it back together, included a window and that made a neat rabbit shed.


Craigslist came in handy again for the shipping pallets we used as stands for the two grow out cages in the front of this picture.

Just about butcher size!


Notice the fan - rabbits don't tolerate heat very well!

Our Meat Rabbits

I'm going back in time and adding photos of the rabbits we got in 2007.  We started with a trio of breeders and in the first 8 months we put 52 rabbits in our freezer.  Pretty good return!

Aww, so sweet.
