We finally had some nice weather this weekend so we got Rosie’s hutch built. Heather brought her male over to breed a week or so ago so there will be baby rabbits before long.
Lisa did all of the wire work. She has the skills and patience with those little staples.
Working on the framing.

Cutting the inside door.
First day of work finished.
Day two. The door is installed.
Andy came over to help carry the hutch outside. We used the same metal roofing as the tractor port. The rack underneath holds two plastic tubs to catch bunny poo.
As with everything else we have to wait for warmer weather before we can paint it. The tubs are in place here, the extension on the left is a little shelf to set stuff on.

She’s a New Zealand Rabbit. They are bred for their meat. We don’t plan to eat Rosie. We will, however, be eating her offspring. That makes Rosie a livestock breeder, not a pet.

Rosie will be happy bunny now! So if hte Chickens have a mansion and Rosie has a lodge, what gets a condo?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, we'll have to think about it!
ReplyDeleteWe have had the Sheep Shed down in the bottom pasture for a while. I think the barn where the steers eat and sleep is already the Cattle Condo.
