'Rabbax' Eco-Rabbit System (???)

[Susie570]

Um, this looks... interesting...

Very expensive (I think, it's all in euros), the site appears to be Russian.
Anyway, it appears to be a close system for breeding rabbits in even the harshest conditions (so they say)

Wow, very nice! And I'm sure they are expensive, though I haven't bothered trying to figure it out. The two girls in sunglasses with shopping bags look very out of place posing in front of a rabbit farm. :roll:

It does look like they've thought of pretty much everything for a cold climate. I wouldn't want to use most of their setups in a hot climate, but a lot of Europe doesn't get as hot as it does down here.

Right, I'm not sure how well it would work in a hot climate, but I would imagine a person could hook them up for efficient cooling?
They did mention that the enclosures are designed to be 'reflective' and that it prevents the rabbits from overheating, but up to what temp??

(and I agree about the sunglasses chicks) :lol:

Another interesting European system.

Sounds very clean but not much in the way of images to see... what I could see they look tiny!

 

[Dood]

Id say scary, VERY scary !!!!

Apparently they are marketing their 1200mm x 1000mm x 1600 mm unit as able to house 20 adult rabbits! :shock:

This mini-farm can keep 20 adult rabbits at the same time. The framework is fastened by iron poles. Time needed for construction – 1 hour.

Weight – 145 kg

Dimensions – 1200 mm х 1000 mm х 1600 mm

. Which in inches is 48 x 40 x 63 - I don't think 10 Brittania petites could comfortably share that cage !

For the RABBITAX 4 BVK
975,00 in euro=$109,973.52 in US dollars. /4=$27,493.31 Per cage.
3000mm x 13000mm x 1900mm= 9.84' x 42.65' x 6.23'
To house 4 rabbits, 2 Does and 2 Bucks.

I do believe we can do cheaper here at home. Plus the size we can control.
From what I can tell the whole thing is 42.65' long the other numbers :shrug:

But that's just what I have converted. My math may be off. Or at least I'm hoping so. :x Because I don't know any one willing to give that much per cage. :x :? :shock: :x :lol: :lol:

 

[Susie570]

Uh yeah .... that would be a weee bit spendy :x

Inflation of the ruble? (or whatever they're on)

 

[Miss M]

Another interesting European system.

Yes, I really wish they had lots of nicely sized pictures!

975,00 Euro = about $1,100 USD

Dimension calculations are correct.

Just chiming in to say that a lot of European countries use , where we would use . in currency, to denominate the split between pounds and pence or dollars and cents, which is where the initial confusion seems to have snuck in. Miss M's numbers are right, but it's because "975,00" is actually, as far as we need to read it, "975.00" - i.e. 975 euro and 0 cents, rather than ninety seven thousand five hundred, which it sorta looks like at first glance.

:lol: you are correct, I didn't even look closely enough to catch that

I was hoping my math was off. I used google to convert euro to dollars and the dimension. So when I put 975,00 it just accepted it. This sight is very informative. You never know what you will learn or read. :lol: :lol:

But that is still too pricey. ($1097.85/4= $274.46per cage) :x :lol:

Yes, I was quite confused the first time I ran into Euro amounts. That comma. I still do not understand why you would use the same mark to denote the division between whole and fraction that you use to denote the jumps from hundreds to thousands and from thousands to millions (which are all still whole). I have adjusted, but I still think it makes no sense.

Okay, wait. I just read that the "." is used where we would use a comma. Is that correct?
$1,582,673.52 would be written (assume a 1:1 conversion rate)
€1.582.673,52

:runaround:

I am a rebellious American. I like my way better. :lol:

Ain't that the truth!

Very pricey, but remember it comes with a number of features -- predator-resistant; heated nestboxes, food, and water; ventilation; etc.

Also, if I've got my math right, the cages would average 105 square feet each!

It looks like they encourage raising rabbits on food scraps, forage, vegetables, and hay. http://кролики.com.ua/english/rabbit-breeding-rabbax-technology

I like your way better too. We do numbers properly here in England, I just have a few friends over in continental Europe and several Polish colleagues and remember the comma confusion :lol:

 

[Susie570]

Right, too pricey for my blood, but it is supposed to be a completely enclosed system that regulates temperature and all.
