- Growing my own healthy meat. Adapting to compensate for a sloped yard. Built my own 3'x8' rabbit hutches which have a flexible divider system to accomodate 0, 2, 3, or 4 divided sections. No longer have wet food after a rain. Also use upside down plastic totes for younger rabbits to stay warm. Using 6'x10' dog kennel with metal roofs for rabbit and 10'x10' chicken nursery/ egg laying and another 10'x10' chicken grow out pen. Built a deck with cutouts to hold my fixed rabbit tractors. Added trusses and a metal roof over rabbit deck. Preparing for grand solar minimum.

Thanks for taken care giving comfort
Nice pen
Great video, inspiorational
Very impressive! You are so good at building things. This is probably the best design I've seen
Awesome looking setup
Very nice set up!!
Hot tubs and wet bars LOL, amazing job you did on the rabbit hutches. Nice job! First time viewer.
I love your rabbit setup
Hello, new to your channel. I am adding rabbits this year and I’m excited to have them
Welcome! They are a lot of work but I love the meat and love raising a variety of animals.
Awesome setup. Thanks for the ideas
Thank you. You have quite a system!
I love your rabbit videos. I can't watch live videos. too much lagging on my end;
U have a real nice set up.so i subscribed and rang that bell.
New subscriber, here.

by far the best!
Rabbit goals right there...great job
AWESOME video!!!
well done my friend! Happy rabbits
Super amazing!
N i c e. job..! Thank you for sharing.
Great designs..
Great set up!!!
Glad you think so!
You did a great job:)!!!
Thank you so much 😀
loved it! I get excited by the designs and yours made me think about how nice it would be to raise habits and attach the huts to the trees. let the poop fall down around the base. it shouldn't burn he roots either
It wont hurt at all but it will pile up quick. A mature rabbit has about 100 pellets a day. My next improvement will be to let my Rhode island red chickens forage under the rabbit hutches in a couple weeks after I process my cornish cross meat chickens.
This is a great idea
good job!
Very good
thanks, need to build a new bunny hutch, I like the 2x2.
Great set up.. if you fence in the u derailed of the deck you could make another spot for the chickens...
Outstanding work!
Love the rabbit cage with the panels. I thought that was my idea obviously it wasn’t. My plan is to make panels for everything. If the wires 3 foot wide The panel will be 3 foot wide.
You have a awesome setup!!!
Love your setup. Well thought out and functional. Green house too? You are living the life!
I'm making full use of the greenhouse this year. Hopefully you've been watching my recent videos on pandemic gardening. I started all my vegetable plants from seed this year.
wow nice
This good rabbit. After raise deep fry. Yes
You had a fishing hook on the one lid you opened, hope it didn't fall off! I really like your set up! I also live on a slope, so your solutions are very interesting to me. I had my rabbits under the carport which wasn't very appealing. I want to get rabbits again, and this set up gives me hope!
Guess one could easily use a garage tent for shelter.... May have to reinforce with the hardware cloth as to keep out critters.
Then simply put in the hutches, it should keep them pretty warm in the winter in milder climates. They come as carports where you can remove or add sides some even have Windows that open for ventilation.
@@NPHypnosis rabbits don't care about cold. Just the kits need added heat for a couple weeks. Just keep your rabbits from getting wet.
Those are nice rabbit hutches. Would you be willing to share your design and materials needed. I am trying to start rabbits this year with my son and love your setup. Thank you for the great video.
sure remind me in about a week. I'm just now getting a new computer up and running and I am about a week behind now.
I need to build one for a friend soon so I will make a step by step video.
@@dobson777a did you ever get to make a step by step video? Would like to know if these are still working for you
it is nice when you add some insect net for collect the poo rabbit so you can collect the poo easily and the pee going down to the ground or you can add some tray to collect the pee rabbit , Nice design by the way..^_^
the poo travels down naturally to a catch basin at the bottom end of the deck. The chickens help scratch the poo down to the catch basin. I use the poo for my gardens.
👍
Great setup but am surprised you don't use 5 gallon water buckets with lines to each cage for drinking water, instead of using a water bottle for each cage. I am thinking to going to the 5 gallon design for watering, spend too much time filling bottles.
You missed that we use 1 gallon rubber water bowls as well. I'm not happy with the automatic waters. I have to check and provide Timothy grass and pellets twice a day and the rubber water bowls do well in the winter where automatic waters and water bottles do not. Also automatic waterers just like bottles are susceptible to mold. I can feed the chickens and fill water bowls very quickly with our garden hose. Bottles need to be filled every three to four days. The very young rabbits use the bottles mostly. We also have them for backup incase the adults knock the bowl over. The fastest way to kill your rabbit is not to have water for them in the summer.
Amazing!!
Can I ask where you got your Florida Whites?
My Texas breeder is no longer selling rabbits, and the ones on the Florida White breeder association website, either do not answer their phones or do not reply to emails.
Very frustrating.
Well, thanks for sharing. Great work!
Mine are New Zealand Whites. A lot of people raise rabbits. Go to the local feed stores and ask who is raising rabbits locally. That is how I got my starting stock of rabbits.
@@dobson777a
Its impossible to find New Zealand whites now. We called everybody who was listed and did not found yet . Some changed breed, some stoped. I wonder if you would sell?
What state are you in, we are in Washington state.

Nice set-up
What's the gauge of the wire flooring?
Thank you
Welded wire.
Do you find that your rabbits chew on your rubber bowls?
some do but most don't. It never seemed to hurt them
They would love to run around 🤔 my mates cages have runs on each cage
I got rid of all my road island reds bc they kept picking on chicks. black astrolops dont do this.
I keep chicks separate until 4 months old
Very good
