Sorry, sungura, there aren't any plans for it. It was done on the fly. If you're handy and understand framing then you can replicate it just by looking at the first couple of pictures. A couple things to note: --It's 8' wide (eave side), and 7' deep (gable side). If I were to do it all again...

Sorry to hear about your cancer, but glad you made it through. This is our first year with a vegetable garden. I'm active duty Air Force and we've been moving a lot, a lot, a lot. We've been here a year now, and that's almost the longest time we've been in one place in the past six years...

A couple questions about that trick: --Do I need one bag of pennies on each side? --Do I need to keep refilling the water? --Do I need to switch out the pennies after a while? (That is, will they dull and lose efficacy?)

Thanks. I'll email the seller with those questions.

With the narrowest door opening at 27" wide and 25" tall, I can get my shoulders in without any problem, and the bottom of the cages at 30" to 36" means I can just bend over at the waist and reach. If it ends up being a problem I can always block off the back of the cage, but I don't think that...

I saw these NZ does posted on Craigslist: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/ ... 76420.html Are they a good buy? How does one evaluate?

Miss M, glad that you like it. The legs go all the way up and there's diagonal bracing at the top. It's essentially balloon framed. I was trying to avoid bracing at the bottom because I didn't want to provide anything for raccoon's, etc., to stand on.

I put pictures of the old and new up here: post236004.html Btw, I'm wondering if the fatalities were caused by a botfly infestation. I never did find any marks left on the hutch from predators. I had thought that the mother and one of the remaining kits just had sores from whatever had been...

I wanted to share pictures of my new hutch. It's 8' x 7' with 7 holes (width by depth): (2) 30"x42", (2) 36"x42", (2) 30"x24", and (1) 36"x30". Front and side: Eave-side door opens downward (36"x30"): I chose these latches over a barrel-bolt or a hasp. I'm really liking them so far...

(Sorry, double post.)

Yes, they're currently in all together. The doe and the buck have been together for the past two weeks, as they were when I first got them. I did notice this evening that he was trying to mount and that she was refusing him. I was thinking about ripping the hutch apart the weekend and...

(Sorry, double post.)

So I'm very new to this. Two weeks ago I got a mating pair of New Zealands along with eight of their month-old litter (the two best were kept by the previous owner). I also got a 4 x 8 hutch that had a solid floor (vinyl covered). It's sitting just a few inches off the ground. I back to...
