My husband and I take our daughter to the Oakland Zoo every Christmas Eve when we travel off the mountain and into the Bay Area and this time I thought of taking pictures of the zoo rabbit colony! I can't see using a colony in my space or with my angoras, but maybe this will give some of you some inspiration!
They have about a 30' x 15' yard space on a hill next to a small building with a "cat door" installed on the side; no doubt to let the rabbits out in the morning and in at night. It looks like they built a concrete hill with a few terraced landings and a few tunnels in between. The short wooden fence is attached to the concrete walls that look to be buried under all the grass and dirt terracing. So basically a concrete slab with concrete walls to prevent escapes and then topped off with short wood and wire fences so you can see through. I couldn't tell what breeds they had... Probably mutts. But they were cute all the same!
