A better look at my warren . They have tunnels under the structures.

I used square straw bales to make the walls leaving a small gap for the buns to access, then just put lids on like full sheets of plywood. I do have some totes with holes the does could nest in but they prefer their own holes to have their kits in.

It was -40 this January when I saw my first kits emerge from the hole and venture out onto the snow. Rabbits are tough animals especially if they have what they need to successful. My buck is always with the heard. The does control the breeding they just won’t lift for him. My older non breeding...

Just wanted to show my Warren, and my herd of rabbits that have no cages other than the perimeter fence in a 3000 square-foot pen. The rabbits are happy, productive, and extremely healthy.

Funny thing about that is my does that are my breeding stock I don’t eat I allow them to live out their life with the heard as I keep my rabbits in a 3000 square foot pen. I only eat my grow outs/culls. I feel they have given me lots and that’s payment back to them.

Awesome

Just pointing out it’s doable.

My dogs watch me kill the rabbits, the dogs are outside the pen as I have a large communal pen. I throw each dead rabbit out of the pen where my 3 German Shepards are. None, I repeat none of my dogs touch the still convulsing rabbit. They may look and may sniff from a distance but will not touch...

I feed rabbits whole and pieces to my dogs, no issues. Training is key.
