We are going on vacation for 1 week in October. We have 9 rabbit cages (singles 24"x24"x16") that need some type of feeder that will last the week. We have small breeds (Holland Lops and Lion Heads) so we don't need huge feeders, but something that will last 5 days.
J-Feeders would be great, but they run about $7 each..... I've searched on Craigslist and even put a "wanted" on there in pets and also farm/garden in our city and the three cities around us with no replies (it's been on there for over a month and I keep renewing it to the top of the list).
So I'm wondering what do you guys & ladies do? We don't have the ability to have someone come check on them, so I was hoping that there would be some type of "Build-it-yourself" rabbit feeder plans..... something that would be less expensive. I've seen the "Coffee can" feeder but don't have the cans and don't like the idea of any sharp edges. I've also checked Bass and some of the other sellers, but with shipping I'm still just under $7 each so there is no savings there.
If anyone knows of such plans we would really be happy if you could direct us where to find them.
Not to worry about water....... We have that figured out. We will have a couple 2 liter water bottles attached to each cage........... We are just looking for "feeder" plans/ideas.
Thanks!
