My colony has 2 does and 1 buck so far. I have a new momma new zealand in a cage above the colony. I also have 2 5 week old bunies in the house waiting to introduce them to the herd, there seems to be a lot of space for 3 rabbits, it is 15 x 8 and has lots of hiding plaes. I want to expand the colony to go outside the shed in a 16 x 16 space. I know that they dig and I have a source where I can buy wire panel shelving that is 8 feet by 4 feet. if I dig down 1 foot place the panels in there cover it up with the dirt will that give them enough room to kindle underground? should they even kindle there or should I build them tunnels? If I make cat doors to go inside/outsde the shed would they use them? this is my idea but not as elaborate: http://www.therabbithouse.com/gallery_i ... ?Entry=138
I am thinking of having 2 colonys once the kits are 3 weeks old I want to bring the momma, kits and the 2 from the house and introduce them all at once. the two will be 7 weeks old by then. Is that a good plan?
