I've been doing a lot of thinking... I really would like to pursue a hobby rabbitry. Breed for colors, sell the ones I don't need as show/pets. I've got 3 does now. On the hunt for a buck or two, we'll see if I want to keep back one of the kits I have now...
Anyway. I've got an area to use as a rabbitry, it's "indoors" in an old dirt floor garage, with a floored workshop area. I found an online workshop planner that I have bent to my will into a rabbitry planner.
Here's what I've got so far.
The cat is not a cat, it's a very heavy radial arm saw that I can't move by myself... The area I'm taking over into a rabbitry was once a woodworking/hobby shop. The dog, however, is a dog, my golden Kuiper can't help but make sure he knows what I'm up to if I'm in the garage.
Growout pen next to the door, maybe double stacked eventually. Cages along the north "wall".
Still thinking on what I can do with the space. Definitely want to hang cages, I've got bare rafters above so it shouldn't be too difficult. <br /><br /> -- Mon Mar 28, 2016 12:27 pm -- <br /><br /> My questions are:
How will ventilation work in such an area, how should I place fans in the summer? Winter?
The north 'wall' isn't a wall, it's just the edge of the platform, about a foot drop onto the dirt floor. I could hang the cages over that, and have more floor space for other things...
The south wall has a worktop/bench attached to it, between the door and window, should I keep that as a work space and move the grow out cage?
I know not to put anyone in the window (direct sunlight) unless I cover it, but it lets in so much light I'd hate to do that.
