I have not seen the fencing that has smaller wire at the bottom! I've always had to add hardware cloth for "baby saver" purpose. Will be looking for that spacing now! Most of my supplies come from Tractor Supply, as there really isn't much of any other farm-related store around my location. I've custom built a lot of rabbit cages though. I try to make them as big a space as possible. And I've been known to take a 36-inch tall and cut it in half, losing the 2 inches in the middle long ways from the cut-offs. Also, I didn't have an angle grinder, so had to use tin snips. Lots of work that way, but some times we use whatever tools are available. And as a creative idea, if you don't have a j-clip and tool, you can cut every other piece off and leave the ones in between long, and use them to bend around the other piece. It's VERY sturdy; just make sure there are no sharp ends on the inside. The bigger spacing the wire, the easier it is to wrap the ends. And hardware wire doesn't work - it's too thin. I have never cut a hole for the feeder to hang on the outside; I wire tie the feeder on the inside, and bend/fold a thin metal sheet into a rectangular shape, and insert it into the feeder - as an extender. This way, I can pour feed from the top (outside) of the cage, don't have a hole in the customized cage itself. And the benefit to that is, more feed means less labor - only fill the feeder once a week, depending on how many rabbits are in the section. And at 25 minutes in, if you had inverted the wires, the rows would have matched up easier to j-clip. You actually did the hardest spacing by not lining up the wire sides. :)

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are such a good teacher! First time raising a meat animal, I want to start with just one or two rabbits. Should I just go ahead and buy a pre-made cage? Those are cheaper than buying wire rolls and they're already built. Then maybe wait till I'm more experienced before I go building my own cages like you do?

Is there a disadvantage to building two of these back-to-back (ie share the back wall), so I could save fencing AND put the cages in the middle of my shade structure (to allow for better shading, I'd walk on the outside of the cages rather than inbetween 2 long cages)?
@RuffCut3 жыл бұрын
when it comes to feeding you can walk the aisle without going around. Its easier to handle the rabbits moving them from one cage to another when breeding. Besides having a huge cage to support its harder to clean without water spraying on the rabbits in the back cages...a lot of the nasty goes out the back of the cages and gets in their feed and on the rabbits. Rabbits should get some direct sunlight early and late in the day

BTW I got a roll of wire from TSC that had a 1/4 inch flaw, and NONE of the walls would match up enough to put in a J-clip! It was a nightmare! Should have taken the entire thing back to TSC but I didn't have time to return it, had to "make do". Let's just say the cage wasn't exactly square. :( Amazing how much a 1/4 inch flaw created such a difficult cage to custom build.
