- Welcome to Rabbitat Homestead. Thanks for stopping by!
In this video we built a rabbit hutch for our baby rabbits. This video is just about building a hutch. I did show adding food and water containers in the hutch but what I did not get on video is giving them plenty of hay. Enjoy!

I love this idea. I want to keep rabbits as a food source and was wondering if a ramp could be built to allow the rabbits to "free range" during the day in my backyard? This would be similar to the way many chicken coops are designed.
I am loving your channel. We are new to raising rabbits. We have silver fox as well. Our two does had their first kits at the end of November and beginning of December. We are super excited. I'm learning a bunch from your channel and getting some great tips. I want to build a couple of these hutches. Very nice!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’m so glad to help. Good luck with your first litter!
Fellow Silver Fox breeder here from Wisconsin! So glad you use 16 gauge wire and those fence staples! I see way too many people using cheap wire mesh and regular staples on their cages 😕
Only suggestion - attach the wire to the underside of the floor frame, that way when they pee and poop it does not get stopped by the frame and stay in the cage.
Great suggestion :)
OK
I love this video! Is there anyway you can share your materials list and plans? I would love to build one just like this
Love your framing cuts ! Some of them duh ! Why didnt i do that way!
Roof panel was not in the flow direction but still works I guess. Nice hutch!!
Thanks. I’m planning to raise them someday if I have my own place.
Is the a materials list an plans for it
What is the size of your rabbit hutch
Hi,nice job. As for the old one you can get some metal drywall edging to cover the edges of the pressure treated wood.
Thanks for the tip!
I’m brand new to rabbits. What are your measurements? I have SF does too. They are throwing large litters 10-13. Do I need 2 grow out cages per doe or can I put all does and all bucks together prior to processing? The kits are 2 weeks apart in age
Hello! I don't know the measurements off the top of my head but I'll mention them in a future video. You can put different litters together in the same grow out hutch. Just separate does and bucks like you said.
Potentially silly question, does the wire flooring not hurt their feet?
If all they have is wire then they can get soar hocks. So it's important to have a resting mat. I use spare plywood as resting mats.
Curious, why plywood on the ends and not wire?
Just to keep wind off of them. We have more cold months than we do warm here.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos I really appreciate this because I'm going to have my own Rabbitry bussiness I learned a lot watching fr phillipines shout out to my another channel in Rabbitry Leyi AGRI FARM
I use maybe 10 gauge wire and no sore hocks. One came with sore hocks so he has it but its not our fault. Love them ❤
what music is this love the video!?
What gauge wire is it? 16, 19, 23 ?
Just wondering. I wanna make one but it is spendy right now 😞 wire & staples from local store or amazon?
16 gauge wire and the role is 30 inches wide from Tractor Supply. 3/4 inch poultry wire staples are certainly at Home Depot but should also be at Tractor Supply.

Ok thank you very much! Thank you for the videos! From Minnesota 🐄 🌽🌾
Make sure your floor wire is no thinner than 16 gauge it can cause sore hocks of it is too thin. 14 and even 12 gauge are recommended for the larger breeds (breeds over 10lb) make sure to have resting mats if you use 16 gauge.
Hobby kita sama 😁😁

Did you have a cut list you can share please?
I will try to get one to you during my upcoming meat rabbit series this fall
Hi @rabbitathomestead
Hi,
Why does my doe makes a bleating sound when l put her to the buck
It's normal for does to make noises. Mine grunt sometimes when I put them in with the buck. :)
I like rabbit... Can give any idea
Volume??
We do one litter per stall. But we usually separate does and bucks. So one hutch is good for two litters.
According to you which Rabbit breed is the best for meat and farming?
California, New Zealand, Silverfox etc.
Those are all great meat breeds. It really just depends on what you are looking for. I like heritage breeds so I chose Silver Fox and I love them!
