I could make two smaller cages if I had absolutely no other choice, but would prefer not to for time management reasons (I have multiple separate pens for all my chicken breeds and the time it takes to feed, water, clean etc everyday is quite substantial...given that I will have a tractor for...

Thanks glad I asked:) We don't have weasels, mink or racoons in Australia, but we do have rats, feral cats and foxes - only the rats would get through or be able to reach inside a cage this size though. We don't have snow in winter but our summers are quite hot - way too hot to have them...

I realize babies would escape, so would have baby saver wire all around the edges. How high up the edges would I need to make it to keep young ones from escaping? Once weaned I would remove the babies to another grow out tractor.<br /><br />__________ Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:24 am __________<br...

It looks like the galvanised weld mesh panels in the lengths I want only come in 1"x1" or 2" x 2" sizes. Will the 2"x2" holes be too big for NZ whites? (I'm unlikley to go to smaller breeds in the future as I plan to breed them for meat). I plan to make a large moveable tractor approx 15ft x...

LOL akane, experience with de-stuffed toys is a good lesson that my dogs have taught me as well! I know they can eat fur/feathers without health problems, its the mess and scavengers it will bring that I want to avoid! In theory I need to feed my dogs about 600gms per day, they are very active...

Thanks for all the great information! We've followed a prey model raw diet before so I am familiar with that, the only supplement I added was fish oil, unless I fed them tuna or other sardines. Whole eggs are part of their staple diet and the other things (raw vegies/fruit/yogurt/table scraps...

I know that rabbit meat is not a complete diet for dogs but I would like to know how much of their diet can be rabbit meat without causing health problems? Two of my four border collie dogs have allergies to wheat/pasta/rice and the junk in most dog kibble, so I plan to move them to a raw food...

I've been looking at other types of weldmesh today to get prices for making a very strong portable tractor, looks like I may be able to stretch the budget to get that sooner rather than later. I would use the chicken tractor inside the chicken "compound", but moving the rabbit yard inside the...

Thanks for the info Terry! I did think the chicken wire would not be strong enough. The plastic coated wire on the tractor is what I think you call hardware wire in the US - is that suitable for containing them?

Hi everyone:) I've been reading this forum to learn as much as I can about raising and breeding rabbits in a colony. We don't have the rabbits at the moment, but have had rabbits for a few years as pets, so not a complete newbie to looking after them, just to breeding and definitely to...
