I have been trying to figure out an automatic feeding system! Now I don't have to. Thank you so much for posting this video!! Just getting started with rabbits so this comes at a very good time!!!

I left my 16 rabbits for nearly 10 days using a similar system of gravity water and pellets, but I just added a pretty massive gravity hay feeder suspended above their heads too (just a bale of Timothy hay covered in chicken wire like a Christmas present) for their dental health and digestive tract health. They all lived, and some of them were considerably fatter. My rabbits are on a big concrete slab, so they did get extremely dirty as the poop accumulated a lot, but I can’t bring myself to put them on a mesh floor. Also, sweeping up rabbit poop is like meditation for me: some people do yoga downward dog, well I do scoop up rabbit poop.

10 days. Do you know how lucky you are that they survived? I don't trust luck to keep my animals safe, much less alive.

[@kazj1728]

@@slrs3908 I obviously had a neighbor check on them periodically with plenty of supplies nearby for replenishment. But I’m not asking my neighbor to shovel rabbit poop, that’s not very neighborly if they’re doing me a favor. Update: all 16 rabbits are still healthy and quite naughty. I understand why rabbits are used in pharmaceutical research: they’re extremely hardy animals as long as you avoid the obvious dangers for them like giving them a bath🚫.

I liked this video. It had a man with a historical beard and a fluorescent T-shirt talking about his pipes, buckets and hose among other things. I counted 8 baby bunnies and two adult rabbits. As a result of watching the video I wondered if I should click the subscribe button. I wondered if I would see more rabbits, beards and buckets. I thought I probably would, so I clicked Subscribe. -Fin-

😂 Bad boy ‼️

[@SilverSpike777]

Great idea! Can you please provide an update or any improvement tips on the design? Also just a suggestion on the water buckets. You may want to add a float valve here’s what I use LASCO 05-1053 1/4-Inch Compression Evaporative Swamp Cooler Economy Float Valve.

[@alphapigments901]

Awesome video! Thank you

[@GettinJunkDone]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@thomaskafka9806]

Perfect, i am going to use this for my chickens!! Top job beardy!

Nice Watching from philippines

[@jonston1987]

Good Day i love the the set up

[@GettinJunkDone]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@SunnieDIY]

I had issues with them from some of the ones Ive bought. The last set I bought the Ts seemed stronger but I already have a bag of the very strong hydro ones I paid for seperately on ebay. Those ones are amazing and honestly long run last longer so I just use them to save myself from having to fix it later. Mine were outside though so they definitely needed the added strength. The original Ts from the nipple pack I bought 5 years ago those things were useless as could be. They broke with any little bump days after it was put together and just was worthless which is why I had that bag left over by the time the new nipples were ordered last year. I ordered a big bag of the Ts when the other ones failed me it was like 100 for 13 bucks. Totally worth it. Used what I needed and had plenty left.

[@jrouse1984]

look up 3/8" piglet nursery nipples from hogslat. they are about 2.50 each. it will change your life

[@SunnieDIY]

@@jrouse1984 I do love the pig water nipples too but I find the rabbit water nipples really good and cheap. Ill look up the 3/8" ones though like you said. I think the ones I had were way bigger for grown animals maybe?

[@joaquinperales2997]

very helpful tips, thanks for sharing your ideas

[@slrs3908]

Look up "bulkhead fitting".

[@kimweaver1899]

Brilliant! New subscriber!

[@aperson1181]

What can be substituted for wheat/barley (no gluten, no soy) if you do not want this in your/rabbit diet? What type of mineral licks and where to buy them?

[@willdwyer6782]

A float valve in the bucket would keep it filled automatically.

[@perry4490]

Great system! how many days can the sytem go before the food needs to be refilled?

[@GettinJunkDone]

It was 2 or 3 days if I remember right.

[@adamm2909]

I did try the feeder the food get stuck if I don’t check it it’s not moving down correctly

[@5keeno]

How do you keep them from over eating?

[@BethOvertonCPMmidwife]

That would be my concern, too. But I do like the concept.

[@slrs3908]

That is not a problem with grow outs.

[@everybodyslawyersusanbetzj5721]

Really good ideas!

[@ajibolaoladele631]

Good one. Please, how do you clean the water hose when dirty. Better still, how do you prevent algae build up in the water hose. Thanks.

[@bobby52lysa61]

How many days were you successful to have the rabbits self sufficient?

[@QasimAli-qg4yt]

Your cages are really good. Can you please let me know where you got those cages from. If you made it by yourself then what type of wire mesh did you use? Is it 14 gauge or 16 gauge

[@slrs3908]

People use either.

[@edmoney4244]

What is that black net above the bottom metal wire? It looks like a black net of some sort I imagine for the bunnies foot comfort, what is that?

[@danbarosh2942]

Do they chew the PVC and consider a commode float system to keep buckets full..They plenty cheap and all kinds and shapes /sizes

[@lequsejones5384]

I'm sure that they do chew the PVC...ultimately it is the chewing that made me change my feeders from plastic to metal

[@Everclearish]

I have wood rabbit hutches and the rabbits chew on the wood alot. I'm just curious of what the rabbits do to the PVC when they chew on it?

[@robertokwonga7467]

Thank u. Much LoVe

[@rosirockful]

Nice ideas.. Do you worry about over feeding ?

[@slrs3908]

That is not a problem with grow outs.

[@jessicaheffner2518]

Any updates?

[@traithotyotv2168]

Hello

[@Good_Luck_8619]

I bet those poor bunnies in heaven by now 💔😔

[@GettinJunkDone]

Video is four years old, and they were raised for meat.

[@litahsr.8226]

[@anthonycampbell7132]

Gm up

[@kottibeulah1876]

ur sale to ur rabbit iam from India how much ur rabbit? pair rabbit how much

[@luciashs564]

So sad 😢 imagine be that bunnies

[@GettinJunkDone]

When we were raising these rabbits, they were very happy, and got several hours outside in the grass and sun everyday. The cages were more to keep them protected at night and while we weren't home from predators.

[@heidykatheryn8279]

Very sad cages! I hope you have the same quality of life when you are old!

[@MichaelSmith-ku7ki]

Check out the grocery stores after the election Heidi. And be glad you're not in Europe. I know you hippies all think you can live on fentanyl, crack, sex trafficking, paedophilia, baby killing, bumper stickers, and love. But it aint so.
