So my dad wants to raise rabbits now. He bought a 10x14 shed which will be used dual purpose for storing equipment like lawnmowers etc and also rabbits. I have been tasked with figuring out how to make it happen.
Now I haven't a clue about cages. When I made mine I just looked up the min requirements for rabbits, saw what I had room for and went out and built it with wood. I'm thinking that's not exactly going to work in his case. 1.) I can't see him going out and cleaning the cages out. I was thinking that wire cages would work best for him but haven't a clue what dimensions he needs or if he should bother making them himself in order to fit his needs or buy them.
On buying them I haven't a clue what to look for there either. I read some of your posts that say something about holes and size of wire etc but I might as well be reading Greek.
So what are you opinions on what he would be able to do? I'm going to start him out slow, maybe 2 does and a buck and if he likes it he can go from there.
