This is fantastic!! Such an amazing idea. They love it! I like the little white and black lionhead. Likes like a baby piggy. Its so cute!! Glad u did this for them. How amazing
This absolutely melts my heart. Bravo to you. Finally a person out there who cares about the rabbits well being, giving them something as close to their natural habitat as possible and keeping them safe. My Bun Bentley of 8 yrs past away on Sept 4th. Tho I recently adopted another rabbit I'm still heartbroken over my Bentley. He was a free roam rabbit in doors. I've always struggled with attempting to give him the best of both worlds. We had a secluded grassy park I'd take him for walks at on a leash. Basically I just hold the leash and follow him wherever he goes. It was always nerve racking having to look around for predators the whole time, but it was something he enjoyed. Anyhow, thanks for putting this on UA-cam. I hope many people come across it and realize rabbits don't belong in hutches or cages. Take care.
Wait til I move. Ive been house hunting for a while now. I want to expand. I plan to have a shed that the tunnels run through, that is air conditioned. I love that someone else gets me. If your going to keep an animal captive, give it the best life you can. Plus I dont have a wife to tell me no,lol.
Maybe incorporate closet shelving in a v....reasonable at Habitat fir Humanity Restore $1/foot sometimes. I have 5 rescues...hope to house over garden beds.
They are airborne, which keeps bugs like flees from bothering them. I feed them timothy hay and pellets only. For a treat, I give them bananas. They love bananas, food for thought.
They seem to. No deaths since i built the tunnels. Also i have expanded my tunneling system. So between more air circulation and more room to run. They seem quite happy.
I would like to do something like this for my rabbits. It’s a great idea. Do you keep your does and bucks separate or are you colony breeding? Do you have any fighting over hutches, do the does keep to their own cages, or do they all share?
Four brothers & sisters live together without issue. Where one goes the rest follow. They get along great, no fighting. They are not all together. I have dwarf and full size. I don't get much breeding for some reason though. Probably can't catch her in the tunnels,lol. If you use 1/2" wire cloth, their feet will be fine. Do NOT use chicken wire. The wire cloth is strong enough to support their weight in case your wondering.
@@therabbitswhisper I'd like to run a tunnel around the outside of my boat or appeal to the roof about 6 ft High. Are they afraid of heights while they're in the tunnels? I got a cargo net hanging over the bow my boat so that they can go out there at night and hang out without an owl swooping in oh, and your daytime I got to worry about osprey. We live offshore hankerd out on a little houseboat. I haven't slept on land in 10 years and my bunny rabbits haven't been on land but once or twice in 2 years.
Each hutch has wood floors. The tunnels are just roadways. In the beginning i used 2x4s for support, but found its not necessary. The mesh is 1/2" squares. Small enough to not bother their feet. The large holes, like chicken wire, is bad for their feet.
That's wild! Does the wire hurt their feet? (I got a reply from the rabbit whispered, he said the wire doesn't hurt their feet cuz it's a fine mesh, and they don't spend all their time on it) If you wrap the wire around a 2 by 6 or put a 2 X6 inside your wire tunnel. I'll bet they would freaking go a lot faster. Would make the tunnel stiffer to. I live on a boat and I've got little tunnels running through the boat from the front to the back and my rabbit friends can go from the front of the boat to the back and pop out in the bedroom or kitchen if they want. Take care God bless our rabbit friends.
Your about the 50th person that thinks i would deliberately allow their feet to be hurt. Tunnels are plenty stable and predator proof. Half inch wire cloth. Big holes, like chicken wire is where you have to worry. They run full speed, there hocks are just fine.
@@therabbitswhisper I got bunny rabbits on my boat. They have outdoor areas and indoor areas and they travel around at will. I'd like to put some wire under their feet in the litter boxes. But I always worried about it. Rabbit poop is called bunny honey. They shell it on Amazon and eBay for $5 a pound and up. I hope you're taking for advantage of this it makes hay and oats and stuff cheaper. Take care, direct you to bunny rabbit off of an abandoned boat out here and it changed my life and a lot of how I think. Her name was on it and she was a real sweethearts used to sleep in the bed with me wrapped around my hand. Wake up at night with my facial freshly licked and she even tried to trim my beard. The most wonderful bunny. There's a sad story there but it's about 2 years long. Take care good luck and God bless buddy.
@@edwardroche2480 I sell their poop mixed with hay at $1 a bucket. I use some on my garden and sell the rest. I don't really worry about the cost, money is not an issue for me. I do it for fun, a hobby.
@@therabbitswhisper mine are a hobby too. But a very expensive one with the current situation. Dollar a buckets kind of cheap. Good luck take care of man I used mine for the plants on my boat.
If you use small enough wire mesh squares, you won't have that problem. I've been doing this for 5 years without any sore feet. Believe me, if I thought I was hurting them, I wouldn't do it.

That has put a smile on my face it is so funny and it works! It looks like if they're having fun running around in their tunnel palace. Good job
they are crazy to watch sometimes, they run at full speed when its feeding time
I love the wind chime. So peaceful.
DUDE!!! This is the best thing I've seen in AGES!! SO doing this!!! : )
This is so funny... And so smart!! 🤔I'll consider building this for my rabbits. Thanks for showing.
Interessanter Kanal, schön haben es die Kaninchen, ich lasse Dir gerne Like und Abo da 👍🏻👌🏻
Wow, I will say that's pretty cool. Although it can't be fun to keep clean, bet it smells great on them hot days.
no smell, i use a hose during the summer. I keep it clean and compost the manure. Thanks for stopping by :)
Haha
So cute
This is so awesome I have been looking into rabbit tractors and rabbit colonies this is great
thank you, see what quarantine does, lol
@@therabbitswhisper Haha have you tried those tunnels along the grass so they can eat grass and be mobile?
They are airborne, which keeps bugs like flees from bothering them. I feed them timothy hay and pellets only. For a treat, I give them bananas. They love bananas, food for thought.
Do they handle the summer heat better this way?
They seem to. No deaths since i built the tunnels. Also i have expanded my tunneling system. So between more air circulation and
more room to run. They seem quite happy.
Great run. I don't suppose you clean the poo, hahaha...
always cleaning, never ends, to many poopers lol

@@therabbitswhisper Thanks. This will be a fun project.
I also used shelf brackets and zip ties. Send me a link when you get something together. Enjoy...

Wow
yeah, i need to get out more,lol
How wide is the board on bottom and what width is the mesh. Basically how do i make this
I use 1/2" wire cloth. Do not use chicken wire, it will hurt their feet. I used a 2x4, but its not necessary. Use zip ties to hold them together.
Cool! But u should maybe consider putting something on the bottom of the tunnel because gridded floors can give rabbits sore feet

@@therabbitswhisper oh cool😊
the wire cloth costs more, but you get what you pay for
@@therabbitswhisper ok
Ava collins Wire isn’t bad
wow i wana play lol
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Cool but how u clean it
With a hose.
Any traffic jams in the tunnels
lol, occasionally that happens, but up and over is usually what happens. Occasionally one of them has to put it in reverse lol.
The metal is bad for their feet
