The perfect wind down evening for me....a hot cuppa, a packet of biscuits and Mossy Bottom video...and breath!!
Nice to see you monitising the channel.
good to hear you got a sponsor!
How you get anything done with all those animals to pet is beyond me. Great video thanks for sharing.
lol
One rabbit alone is a phenomenal grass cutter! That's fabulous that they are helping so much. xx
The best tutorial I have seen!
I'm going to ask my son to make a couple. He hates my rabbits because they escape all the time and eat EVERYTHING we dont want them too! This way they are on safely on pasture land and not in the food or flower garden. It was a disaster when they got into the greenhouse đł
Thank you so much! :)
i love this project, its beautiful to see that animals can enjoy daylight ,the sun ,the grass ...and stil be so useful in the garden :)
I recommend lath screws for attaching wire mesh. You can always remove them easily if you need to replace the wire.
Love Love Love the hair
Super relaxing always. You remembered to fill the bird feeder too.
Your first sponsored video, well done. I love your rabbits.
Youâre the 1st baggins of Bag End. Hereâs to you creating your own shire!
I enjoyed every minute of it.

He is a lucky man. Sensitive but not overly sensitive. I couldn't keep animals in such small places.
I love your little cottage. It just looks cozy. You seem to get by building what you need with very little. I think your doing fantastic!
Yes would to know more about the cottage and see inside .
Daniel you are so peaceful and contented I can feel the relaxing energy coming my way....
I love how every animal has its use on your property đ
Edit: Maybe you could do a Video where you show all the animals that currently live with you, would be fun to watch. :)
Wow that came out so well! Nothing is more soothing that watching someone build something from scratch. Super thanks! I am amazed you got so much tools. Wish to see more of you building things. Hello to the animal gang, to Mossy. đ
You are so good at building stuff. You really need to build yourself a nice shop for all your woodworking projects
Been staying in grandpa's old cabin a lot lately. This is so inspiring! Love your videos :)
Loved the video. All your animals are so fortunate to live at Mossy Bottom. Love the rabbits and the sweet kittens. You are quite talented, Daniel. You are peaceful and calming. Take care.
Such a resourceful man should be the president of Ireland.
I suspect they might take issue with a British ruler... :-)
That bunny is spoiled! LOL Massage even! The best part was watching the dog watching the rabbits! Justin Rhodes makes something similar for his chickens and his kids move it around. I bet kids could move this around too. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
I really happy about your sponsorship for this video. Long life to your project, you are an inspiration for a lot of people. Cheers from Portugal!
speed carpentry - something I never thought I'd find funny (like Benny Hill) but also fascinating to watch
Always a treat to see the notification you've uploaded a new video, and then to see its 40 minutes long! Brilliant stuff mate
It really shows with all the thought and effort you have put into this project, that you truly care about your animals. Thank you for sharing with us all just how much you care. I loved the kittens, too cute.
Im going to make this, just slightly longer of a run so they can run a bit. Starting my meat rabbit journey, although theyâre food I still want them to have a great life.
Most enjoyable, had a slight moment of panic when I thought you were going to say that you eat them, you seem to be very good at carpentry. love the long hair btw
It would make much more sense if he did.........!
@@andymccabe6712 not to the rabbits it wouldnât
â@@andymccabe6712 defending your own actions and dogging down anyone who disagrees. live and let live mate
Does anyone else feel disappointed if we don't get a glimpse of the adorable dog.
This helped me understand how to build a hinged opening on the frame for my chicken wire garden surround...to keep the squirrels out of my veggies. And let ME in. I enjoyed watching in more or less real time the whole process..
That was brilliant!
I learnt so much - everything like this should be taught in schools.
Best wishes

It is also getting colder and rainy too here on the atlantic coast of Portugal. Never saw a rabbit house, and now i even have a tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge with us! :)
This is perfect! I have been looking into raising rabbits for meat so might need to make the build a bit bigger, but want to make them as nice as possible for the rabbits as I can and this is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for the build!
Wonderful instructional video! Well paced, filmed, and narrated. You're a very good teacher, Daniel. Thank you for mentioning the tools too, as well as materials - I have no tools yet other than a drill, and zero skills, but it's nice to see what tools you used. I'm glad in a way that you don't have, say, 50 different expensive tools involved! That totally intimidates newbies. I also like that your sponsor is a service you use regularly and which can help many others of us, especially during job loss / change in the pandemic. And the free trials for 1000 people - what a nice way of giving back! Thanks so much!
Rabbit manure is EXCELLENT for your vegetable garden as well! You put a handful of manure in the whole where you'll place your plant, and a handful over after filling the hole. It does wonders in your harvest!
Your farm is looking great! It is SO lovely to see young adults out there also living their dream simple life :) Thanks so much for sharing great content with us. I do learn a lot from you and I hope my farm will look as nice as yours haha.
Love your videos and this design. I'd really encourage you to consider putting some thick insulating material between the wood of the roof and the corrugated metal. Rabbits have super sensitive hearing, and the sound of heavy rain on a metal roof is actually quite stressful for them.
Hair: Still long, more beautiful than ever.
Paid promotion: A good fit, interesting, and unobtrusive.
Bunnies: Always wonderful.
Great video!
I love everything about your channel!!
Even the commentary about yourself..
You are very thorough and explain everything to the detail. Love learning from this channel. I am going to have rabbits instead of chickens for the time being.
This video couldnt come in a better moment! Thank you! đ„°
I was rewatching some of your videos, to give myself some motivation and vision of a goal, and wondered if you'd ever make this video after you mentioned it like a year or two ago. Keep up the good work man.
Just what I need for my daughters bunny
Thanks for the DIY. Itâs so helpful! Do the rabbits get to run? You have made such excellent progress. You are a wonderful example of what we can do when we listen to who we really are. Thank you!
Yes, they do, in another video he showed the piece of pasture he has sectioned out for them, he switches them between the tractor and the den.
The guys at Way Out West vlog made a really lovely hen house tractor
Highly recommend investment in impact driver for your construction project (readily available in b&d 18v platform) they are very efficient for driving screws ,great job on project
Great video your design will help me alot since my 5 year old has asked for a rabbit since June so I must get cracking. Same design should do for hen's ( a bit bigger)
That is absolutely the Best Rabbit Tractor I've seen. Nice job.
Having you work outside is very good for me since I don't have a workshop either! It's also nice when you give both metric and avoirdupois. The hints really help, too.
My birthday is nov. 18 I am alone and the winter is my next conquest. Keep making videos. Peace be to you
Loved that video. I like you have rabbits, hens, guineapigs- canât help wondering why you donât make a few on slower days and then sell them, I wish I was closer to commission one. Better made than bought ones and you have thought of everything !
Hi Daniel.
I've recently discovered your channel and thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I'm fairly self supportive, to some extent, at least and enjoy the solitary lifestyle away from the madness of modern day society.
I'd just like to comment on two things regarding your build of the rabbit tractor;
Firstly, I would have gone for a slightly thicker piece of timber holding the wheels, to prevent splitting and long term wear.
Secondly, your handling of your angle grinder scared me a bit.
As I often work with steel and the tools necessary, and might I ad, that I was taught by my late father who was a millwright and a boiler maker, I learnt to handle an angle grinder to the dide(blade running past one's body) for safety.
I've, twice, seen people having horrendous accidents with these machines, handling them in a similar way to what you did here.
Other than that, awesome work sir.
Ps. My family originally came from Ireland and I've always had a special affinity for the country of my Ancestors.
If possible, I'd like to visit some day.
Sincerely
RĂ©no Potgieter

This is a nice rabbit tractor for sure!!! very sturdy! Well thought!
Wow! Brilliant job. Luxury accommodations for your rabbits!
So glad you got a sponsor! Very interesting video, love all you do, your animals and their names! Thanks đ
Your rabbits are just beautiful. Youâre so good to them. Love your creation. What a genius idea!
do you find the rabbits have enough room?
Thoses rabbits need a bigger run where they can excise.
thank you for sharing. my husband just made this hutch for our new bunnies. We did do a couple things different but followed your plan.
AAAAAAGHHHH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
Love and peace from the UK âââ
You are AMAZING!!! You are the only thing/person keeping me grounded!
Well made and a very good idea. Thank you and stay healthy and enjoy life.
I too have rabbits and grass that needs cutting. Love the design. I will add that to my homestead to do list.
Great craftsmanship at the Bunny Hotel! Thanks as always for sharing.
Great to see you're getting sponsorship. Really enjoy your videos.
What a wonderful video and very tutorial and inspirational to others living off grid. You have a wonderful place and I really enjoy your videos!
You have some awesome designs

Love đ this idea, just what I was looking for!!

Your mitre saw is a brilliant tool.

Thank you Daniel I'm always waiting for a new video..
Very cool. Love the accent. Love the build.
Looks amazing!

I love your rabbit house đđđ
That's a neat little rabbit coop. Now I only need a large garden. And rabbits đ
Love the little fluffies...I had 2 pet rabbits for 10+ years as a kid and always enjoyed taking care of them.
Wish, moving to a place where land is cheap, was an option for me...
Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it
Great work!
Nature and animals what more could you need?
Internet, apparently!
lovely rabbits â€ïž and great idea with cutting grass, goats are good as well for keeping grass low đ
You made that quick like a bunny .. loved it.
Thanks for a great video. Very good clear instructions
Nice job!
excellent idea and carpentry skills!
I like this design.
I am going to try making one too for my rabbits.
Fantastic video love your show
The ramp is perfect đ
Great video! I hope to one day see Ireland!
