RE: New Rabbit Hutch

in #homestead6 years ago

Aaawww... the bunnies are so cute @mattlovell. And I am amazed how you built the cage from scratch with the welded wire pieces. It looks like a pretty fun project to do, wasn't it? And the cage is quite big. How many rabbits are you planning to keep in there? And usually how long do you grow them before they are fit to be consumed? Awww... they are so adorable! They are looking at me while I am typing this!

Thanks for the comment. the cage is rather large, but each compartment will either hold an adult rabbit (and her kits), or 6-7 rabbits as they grow out. 10 weeks old is optimal for 'harvest', and they will weigh around 5 lb each at that point.

Ah thank you. 10 weeks old is pretty fast and rabbits breed quite easily and fast too right? I wish you a prosperous and continuous good "harvest" with the new cage :) Happy Sunday there @mattlovell :)
