Bunny Enclosure Updates / It's Finally Finished!

[@lorrainecourtney4589]

"The bunnies went over budget with their flooring " 😂😂😂

[@googleaccount8774]

Your page is always convincing me to build a home on a few acres and ditch the suburban life!

[@greenshereen]

THANK YOU for being that rare gardener that has taken the time and effort to consider the welfare and happiness of your bunnies!!!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Wow, thank you!

[@erbacherp]

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! If you want the wire to visually "disappear" you could use a roller and paint it black. Fabulous job!!!

[@deesa3500]

Well it looks like they "loved" it, it turned out fantastic, they're living the good life👍🏼😀. Looking forward to the yard tour😊

[@hollynelson543]

Finally your on.

[@dawndawn6946]

So cute! Bunny condo! Jason, you are so sweet to build that for the family! It came out really nice!

[@Tambisme]

Good job, Jason is hilarious 😂

[@cheriehigbee7349]

The bunny mansion looks awesome in the garden area! Good job!!!!!

[@shadnacameron8856]

Those bunnies are so lucky 😀you guys did a great job 👏🏻

[@jillkeim3587]

You are a good man, Jason. On behalf of the bunnies, we have decided to call this palace our forever home. No listing here!!! We couldn't be happier! Thank you!!!

[@coralle2]

We have a house roam bunny but love this idea for others that keeps their bunnies outside. Sown cages are so small and it’s just sad. You guys are such good bunny owners and they are so lucky to have you.

[@KarlongasXit]

This is so sweet you two! I love how caring you are with the bunnies. I had a cage-free lion head bunny I just let roam the house. I would have loved making a space like this for them too if I had a yard. So adorable.

[@fertiliza]

Just simple and wonderful. Very well designed. 😊

[@DixyDo43]

This looks like the Bunny Mahal. I hope they appreciate it.

[@JasonLawrence]

😂

[@ara.4497]

Looks awesome! Great job! Thanks for sharing w us and I’m sure your kids will love having such a nice place to hang out w them too...

[@donnasummers9284]

OMG! This is amazing! I love it! Question: I spent a fortune on hardware cloth bc sources stated that predators could easily chew thru chicken wire. Was that hype? Oh, if you have apple or willow trees, cut branches and fold them down at each end anchor to the ground to provide resistance. They will love chewing those branches. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

The chicken wire lasted just fine, no predators got through. We also added chicken wire in the grass after the first week when we found Sage digging a big hole😂🤣. The grass grew around it after a few weeks and you wouldn’t know it was there. In our most recent video we show the bunny enclosure and how well it held up. The bunnies will be going back out in another month or so

[@donnasummers9284]

​@The Lawrence Garden Farm TY for the data: cha ching in savings!

[@YalisCommunity]

I loved the bunny enclosure and I think the Bunny love it too! It was a lot of work but Oh my well done, BRAVO! It looks fantastic and it goes beautifully with the garden.

[@jacquelinecreativelifestyl3393]

Very impressive. I really like it.

[@creatingmygarden]

Jacqueline here from CreatingMyGarden great job on the bunny enclosure looks really good with the rest of your landscape. Don't worry the storage box although is not black it still looks really good and organized!

[@beavoicenotanecho8590]

OHH Jason !!! Your are an amazing Daddy Happy father's weekend 😊 1

[@ourcozygarden]

Great work. Those bunnies are pampered 😀

[@gardensbyjudylevy8031]

Really nice!! Great work Jason and great design to you both😀🌻

[@MoonBeamsSunRays]

Awesome 👍 looks great! Beautiful garden 🌹

[@lisawilliams9980]

Oh wow! I’m planning to get bunnies soon, but never thought about a fancy condo like this!🤣. Thx for the inspiration.😃

[@tracyc9413]

Wow....so awesome! Very well done! Can't wait for the raised bed tour! I absolutely love your gardens!

[@hollynelson543]

Man I would live in that bunny village.

[@findmysoulgarden914]

Love the Bunny 🐇🐰 resort!!!!

[@CBeccamakestuff]

Bet the sod was 8 square feet…. 2’x4’ bummer. Hate when I make those silly mistakes. This looks beautiful!! Well done guys!

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Yep, 3'x3'x12" yard Sod must be by 3-4"D x 9sq.ft. If I remember correctly a chord of wood is usually 4'x4'x4'

[@planttasticcookinggardenin1561]

Aww it’s wonderful!! My bunny is super jealous. Enjoy it, you guys deserve it after all the hard work!

[@suemackie4345]

They will Love It 🌹💜

[@mellissabgarden1549]

That a bunnies heaven

[@Gardening-FarmtoTable-andMore]

Glad it’s a large area for them. Hey what if you put a kitty litter and where they do their business still use that kitty litter so they’re not doing their business everywhere else. Sabrina

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

That’s what the Amazon box is for, hosts all of their hay and food, we do the litter boxes in between because they are litter box trained. Prancer lived in our home for an entire year free roam and the other two are finally trained took them a lot longer🤣😂

[@laurenwellman2516]

Excellent job! Will you bring the bunnies back into the green house for the winter?

[@athomewithelisa]

😍 I'm so happy to see you guys posting again, can't wait to see your garden blossom

[@amandaseversonphotography6055]

This is so fantastic! We will be taking huge inspiration from you when we move to our new home in a few months for our new hutch and enclosure!

[@dcjetfive357]

Would love if you guys did a bunny enclosure update video. I'm thinking of building a bunny enclosure. Thank you guys for the great inspiration. ❤️

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

We will for sure bc after the second week of them being out there, Sage our bunny was digging so we added chicken wire on the ground and it worked!! We also have video clips of that so we will update very soon once all the snow melts👍🌿

[@dcjetfive357]

@@TheLawrenceGardenFarm Thank you so much!

[@prairiemountainhomestead]

This is so cool! I am amazed and definitely want to build something like this for our rabbits

[@jillspady6450]

Some wildlife can get through the chicken wire. Hardware cloth idea recommended for their safety. I live in a suburban neighborhood with alot of predators, and assist with rabbit adoptions. Have to keep the bunnies safe.

[@karenlaw9235]

It looks like all 3 bunnies appreciate their new home, I guess they decided to "Love It!" 😂Very nice job, it really adds and blends into your gardens!

[@Candylandavenue1]

I have to say, I’m really jealous. Not of the bunny enclosure. But jealous that Jason is wearing a beanie & a jacket right now & we’ve been having temps in the 100s for the past week & will be over 100 for the next 2 weeks! It was 105-106 last week, heat index 115!!! 😩 Yay Texas 😂. Love the bunny enclosure you guys! Those buns are so spoiled! 🥰

[@dollyperry3020]

I'm concerned. Chickenwire isn't safe against many predators. It is a lovely structure. Did you say whether you buried the wire under the ground? Rabbits are diggers and so are many predators. Also, I worry about that grass has a lot of herbicides on it. Have you done an update video? P.S. It sounds like this is just a run and not a permanent home. I think it is good for that situation :)

[@keithpugh7538]

Nice set up!

[@williamtaylor2412]

love this

[@angelakyrtata3132]

Great work Jason!!! 👍 You always create beautiful stuff. Casey what's Jason next project??? Any chickens in your future plans ??? Casey you inspire us with gardening and Jason with building stuff.. you guys make an excellent team. Thanks for sharing... hope there are more videos coming up.❤

[@ldays413]

Love it

[@krislebar4100]

❤️ it

[@courtneyrenegar4329]

First, it is a beautiful enclosure! You did a nice job. But, I worry that you used chicken wire. Bunnies will chew through that, and so will lots of predators. Hardware cloth would have been a better choice.

[@ara.4497]

Or rabbit wire. Worry about top too. Apparently chicken wire for hawks isn’t sufficient (probably owls too) so I doubt that plastic will be, especially after continued exposure to hot summer days. It will probably start to degrade and thin given it’s black... Still think it looks great - it’s just if that’ll be secure enough. Can always be modified/fortified and great framework to start!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Yeah, we’ve never created an enclosure for bunnies before so we will have to see how it lasts and if something needs replacing, we will definitely be sharing that too👍

[@justme7595]

It looks great❤.. would like to have one like that. Would it protect from predators? There are coyotes and bobcats where I'm at. Thanks

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

we have coyotes but do not have bob cats. we haven’t had any issues, we do have garden lights in this area maybe that helps. The enclosure has held up very well! We can share an update as soon as it isn’t freezing here, we’ve had a very cold start to spring so far.

[@lisagarian4083]

That is amazing and I wish everyone realized that rabbits should not be kept in a small cage

[@erinmeyer1242]

Looks awesome guys!! Jason can you come build one for us lol!! 😄

[@cannyy.6675]

How often do you clean out their litter box? Do you have to get a brand new box for each change? Do you just put hay in it?

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

I collect cardboard boxes and no longer use the litter boxes, they were too much upkeep over time. The box lasts about a week, and i used to add a puppy pad at the bottom for additional absorption, but i cut that out and added just a thin layer of paper pellet litter, unscented, and then just hay on the bottom and hay feeders on the side. I refresh hay everyday and food pellets and new water. When the week is done the box is done. We added a lot of our old bunny boxes to an outdoor space that we knew would eventually be a perennial garden. We just let them sit over winter, then tilled them in, before planting up our garden. It’s the garden addition we added outside of the oasis area. It’s doing great!

[@letsgotravel7724]

I’m just wondering why you didn’t use shade cloth on top so the bunnies have a little less heat bearing down on them in the summer

[@dawntyler7996]

That is very cool. Curious about fleas/ticks. Do you treat them ? I just found one (tick)on my dog the other day 😡.

[@Andy-le8xy]

Red Stepping stones would be nicer as they do not reflect the sun in a blinding way.

[@klinteastwood1007]

Hey is that regular black paint? I’d like to paint a few raised beds

[@Sweetlady1916]

I think they said the paint color was chocolate.The color does look great in their landscape with the flowers/ vegetable.

[@akpl4210]

Why all this when we are going to eat them at the end of the season!! 😋

[@karacrawford7393]

Are chickens next?

[@karenschwartz5209]

😃👍👍👩‍🌾

[@judyrosy]

How did you address them digging out??

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

chicken wire ground

[@mariannegathier7574]

It's a wonderful enclosure but for birds not for rabbits. Think of how rabbits in the wild live and this is so not it. When I saw how high the enclosure was I started watching because I thought lots of earth would be wheelbarrowed in for the rabbits to dig and make tunnels with different exits. What are the rabbits going to with the 80% of the space above them? What are they going to do with paving slabs on top of gravel apart from walk and lie on them. I'm sorry, it really is a beautifully built enclosure but please create far far more enrichment areas for your bunnies.

[@tbissonnette1835]

I wish people would do their research before putting their animals outdoors and building enclosures. Just because you don't see the predators doesn't mean they aren't there. They are. This enclosure is beautiful, but NOT predator proof whatsoever, a hawk, owl, coyote, etc will go right thru that. You need to reinforce with hardware cloth. Remember chicken wire is to keep animals IN, not predators OUT. If possible dig around the enclosure around a foot and bury hardware cloth there too to keep rats and mice out. Best wishes.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

We are three years in with it, and it has held up. And there’s chicken wire on the ground along with pavers. They’re all safe and still alive. Thanks for your feedback back👍
