I have found that the girls tend to use the boxes as a bathroom. The boys seem to like them for a "fort" and keep them very clean. I watched a buck clean his out with his front feet when poop or scraps got into it. He would just push it all very carefully out the front LOL I don't keep the...

Great thing about the litter buckets is they are easy to clean!

Well, I can tell you about Texas hot. It's 113 sometimes (and I'm not even in South Texas) I set up a misting system that hits about 1/3-1/2 of the cage. Most of the rabbits love to lay in the mist, even the bitty ones. I have Tamuk rabbits that are bred especially for the heat, so I don't...

Interested in this info. Hope someone answers, I have no idea so can't help.

In Texas there are mosquitoes all the time except for the coldest part of the winter. I learned a new thing to help prevent mosquitoes in the nestbox. I usually use a lidless box when there are a lot of mosquitoes, hoping that the air movement will discourage mosquitoes. The new boxes I made...

Thank you! How wide is the hole? I made mine go to the ground almost, I was afraid my giant fat rabbit wouldn't be able to get through a smaller hole LOL

I've had a couple 6-8 day old kits manage to wander out the door. I thought I should add a barrier. I don't want to make the hole too small though. How large is the hole into your nest box? Thanks for your help! Liz

Noticed your comment about hide boxes. I'm assuming you mean boxes to hide in while there is no nest box in the cage? I designed the nestboxes so that the bottom is removable with the idea it could be a hide/house with no cleaning for the kits & for the moms when they don't have kits. Harvey...

I don't know how big your rabbits are - Mine are about 2 feet long when laying down (not stretched out) Those are 1" squares. I don't think you would lose a litter with a smaller nest box. Unless it was too small for her to feed them, but then it would have been too small for her to fit into...

Here is some info from the boxes I just built. The nursery cages are 28"x43". My rabbits weigh 13+ lbs and are 20" long when they are just sitting there. If they lay out they can be over 30" long. I built boxes that are 14"x 24" and they LOVE them. I wanted to make boxes that go across the...

I made litter boxes of wooden frames with hardware cloth bottoms the pee goes right through the poop piles up. They're wood framed so the rabbits don't seem to throw them around. They do lay in them though which is why I quit using them. I have a small operation so I would just dump them out...

Hi All! Wasn't sure where to post this. I have a website where I have my rabbits listed. In a previous discussion here on Rabbittalk, some expressed interest in me putting up a page with everyone's websites or contact info & hopefully drive some sales or interest your way.. I am not...

What a cutie! Looks like a cartoon rabbit! Love the harness. Do you have a recommendation for one? I keep thinking I can sew my own, but I never do. Right now, the only rabbit I would try it with is on the injured reserve, hopefully not the permanently disabled list. I would love to be able to...

I don't think domestic rabbits are as fragile as wild rabbits. Mine live full-time in cages outside, but they LOVE attention. I often take them out to the yard to get some freedom by turns (can't bring more than one unfortunately because they fight LOL) They have no sense of self-preservation...

I tried emailing the addy you gave me & it came back undeliverable. Must have a typo. The question was - do you want your email on the listing or just your website url? Let me know, your listing is live - I"m going to be listing rabbitries by state. Liz
