Meals on Wheels!

Today we finally changed out the wire on the bottom of the grow out pen so it can be used as a bunny tractor!
Here it is... They love it. (Feel free to share your bunny tractor pics as well!)

That is so cool!

 

[Cali]

Thanks GBov, they seem to be enjoying it! The chickens now think it's meant for them to sit on top of, haha.

Oh, you just solved my space problem!! I'm going to use our future tractor as a grow out pen.

How do you move it without the rabbits legs getting caught under the wire?

 

[Andrei]

If you have the big yard is a great solution.
I would throw some alfalfa seeds before the rain.

I have 4 acres

I move it slowly and they will move along with it, I just pay attention to where their feet are. I don't have to lift it off the ground in order for it to roll so their feet aren't in a lot of danger. I am thinking of just tossing a board in there while I move it so I don't have to inch along so slowly.

Nice.
4 acres is enough for 1000 rabbits.
Why so tall?
With that wood you could make 2.
And a lot lighter.
Great idea for young ones or female/male only.

well don't mind if I do

mine right now is just a 3x5ft cage with most of the bottom cut out


you can kinda see the wire that i left along the bottom. they can sit on it safely while i move it over, or walk along with it. they tend to walk along with it to munch on all the new goodies once they figure out "OOOHH MORE NOMNOMS!" :roll:

Thanks for the fast reply. I might have to build one like it. I am sure the rabbits like it.

Haha, I just have a small rabbitry. . 2 breeding pairs (soon to be trios) and a grow out pen.

I didn't build the original frame. When we bought the property it was here, so we added wire and it was originally 3 cages for our very first rabbits. When I built wire hanging cages, I removed the dividers and it became the grow out pen. Now it's a tractor.

very nice

Love it! Do you stake it to the ground or anything so nothing can tip it over and steal your bunnies?
