Alright. It's been a while since I've been on... a month or so. Thought I'd let everyone know what I was up to.
Since classes are over for the spring I've been working pretty much solely on rabbit stuff all week, I have sooooo much spare time now. I built up a frame for the hanging cages, I've had them hung on chains from the rafters but it wasn't working out the way I wanted it to, plus I didn't have a good way of setting up a poop chute under them. I also cleared out a lot of stuff, mostly furniture that has been sitting out there for years, moved it farther back into the garage to make room for bunnies.
Totals for setup: 4- 2x4x6, 2- 1x4x2, 2- 2x3x8, 2- 1x2x10s cut to fit (cross braces), corrugated plastic sheet 8x4 $15, 2- 1/2"x10' galvanized conduit $3.50 each, 10' plastic gutter $4. I was lucky that I had the lumber all on hand, so my total cost for the project was really only about $25, 4 hours, and my sanity.
Now, pictures!

Here's the other side of the 'bunny barn'.
And in earlier pictures, there were buckets... Here's what's in the buckets!
Fodder! ... Everyone loves it, even the snails...
<br /><br /> -- Fri May 13, 2016 7:24 pm -- <br /><br /> Oh yeah, and the white tote with the faucet poking out of it will be my auto waterer reservoir... as soon as I can get it to stop leaking ... :|
