Nice. I made mine angled so the back is a little bit higher. And i had to make a couple bigger ones for my older, fat does. Good job

I like that style more I think so I might go back to that. These does are young so probably going to need something bigger but for now hopefully they are ok!

Where did you buy their food dishes?

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden 10 күн бұрын

They are the basic farm store ones. As long as they don't stay wet long they don't rust - I've used these for 4 years and have loved them. Brand is Little Giant I believe.

Oh, look out, the kids are in the pool! 🪿🪿. Why are bunnies so darn cute? I should pay attn to the amount of pellets I’m providing. Is that a 1/2 or full cup you give them? Love your videos! 🐇

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden 21 күн бұрын

Thank you!!! I give the smaller breeds (dutch) about 1/2 to 2/3 cup. The larger breeds get about a cup. I increase if it's very cold or moms are nursing. I also keep hay and forage treats year as much as possible.

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden Just so I'm clear those rabbits are for meat right? If so how do you get past the cute-factor when harvesting them?

@harrygrimley4352 22 күн бұрын

Nice. What cut hay was that? I prefer the 2nd, a better cut. Are you breeding any more or done for the season?

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden 22 күн бұрын

Second cut usually for us. It has taken me a while but I finally found someone that cuts hay and also supplies for quite a few people with rabbits. Everybody is bred now and due in 2 weeks. No babies last round so hoping for a few more litters before winter.

@harrygrimley4352 22 күн бұрын

Simple and cool. In case you have not thought of it. Maybe push and pack some dirt around the base so they can't sneak out different places and predators can't easily sneak in.

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden 22 күн бұрын

I definitely need to do that. I'd also like to build it up enough that the snow and rain flows a good ten or so feet away. I can imagine it getting pretty gross in the winter as the snow melts.

@joannc147 26 күн бұрын

Oh, you have the cleanest cages I’ve ever seen, so YAY to you! I had a friend help put my wire cages together…not a good job. I had one boy escape. He’s now my free-range rabbit. I have NO idea how he manages to stay alive. He hangs out with my hens foraging during the day and beds down with them at night. It’s weird! What kind of hay do you feed? Is it comm’l Timothy hay? Good luck with the breeding, hope it went well. New subscriber.

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden 26 күн бұрын

Thank you! It took me a long time to get a setup that works and keeps things clean. Early on EVERYBODY escaped it was terrible! I kept the area with rabbit cages fenced with a low fence to keep the amount of chasing down. I'm going to be building new cages this winter. Hopefully take into account all the mistakes I've made the last few years!

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden 26 күн бұрын

Thank you for subscribing :) I feed a grass hay, usually a mix of timothy and clover. It changes based on what I can find. I try to supplement with forage and garden scraps and that's been working well!

I have a similar problem with tilling. The ground packs hard over winter. So .. manual labor 😊. I go out with a shovel and turn soil by hand first, the tillable oart of the garden can be turned in half a day. Then i till. And mix in compost and till again. ( Its a process) Then i get out if the way and my wife plants.

@ImnotChuck. Ай бұрын

Wow! If you are overwhelmed, I can certainly understand. I suggest you don't buy any more tools or lumber or anything else to put in the basement. Clear out all the canned goods from the pantry and turn it into a storage space for the stuff that is on every horizontal surface. Then, clean the space you get rid of a lot of the stuff that's left. Don't do it in a hurry; organize as you go. Only then can you realistically design a workspace that makes sense. Then, shoot another video of the area and the equipment and ask again for ideas.

@HomesteadWorkshopGarden Ай бұрын

@@ImnotChuck. that is an awesome idea! I'm slowly working towards that and hopefully will start working on it in November. Garden and outdoor is winding down so time to return to the workshop. Current plan is a pantry under the stairs so the rest of the space can be for workshop projects. Storage and pantry gone from the main space will hopefully make a big difference.

If you did not figure it out yet. Should be only 3 screws for the 1617EVS. You were pointing to the C Hole pattern not the B. The Over-Table Adjustment Hole on base will line up with the height adjustment screw on the router. Match that hole then move the mounting plate until the other 3 holes line up.

Thats awesome. Did you feed the weeds and stuff to the rabbits? We built a greenhouse a couple years ago and instead of a slab we did pavers. Turned out pretty good. Every once in awhile we find one wiggle and just tighten it up with sand.
