[@andrewsheppard9084]

The best design I've seen. That 14 Guage wire is a must have for the bottoms. I split my hutches in half and have two rabbits per hutch. So clean now and i can move them around to different locations to keep from much build up.

[@maddie6958]

im only young (13) but you inspire me so much im actually going to start breeding rabbits im getting a doe after christmas, i love all your animals and i want to be like you when im older!

[@BlessedWithPets]

I started rabbits at 13 also! She inspired me a ton when it comes to rabbits. I’m 15 now and I’ve got 11 breeder rabbits and I love raising bunnies. I raid holland lops. My advice to you is to start with the best quality rabbits that you can afford and don’t make the mistake I did of just getting the first rabbits you can get your hands on. I’m just now getting to the point where I have show quality rabbits.

[@maddie6958]

thank you so much i either have a male holland or french lop im not sure because he is quite big so i think french thank you for all this advise im happy yours is going well :) @@BlessedWithPets

I can't wait for my husband and I to get our own place so I can start my own rabbit farm 😁 love your plans and I will be buying them when the time arrives

[@larry323]

Good morning I just found your channel yesterday and I watched several of your videos already. You do such a great job on your videos!! Very professional!! I'm 65 years old and live in Indiana. When I was a young boy my Dad and I raised meat rabbits for a number of years till I got out of high school and got married. Those were some of the best years of my life and you are bringing those memories back to me to enjoy all over again. Please keep doing what you're doing because you are such a natural in front of the camera and that is no easy thing to do. Thank you so much and take care. Larry

[@kathleenredick275]

Congratulations on the grant, and your new hutches! I'm also a (new) member of the Livestock Conservancy. Followed them for many years before that.

[@mandy853]

These plans would make great Christmas gifts!! 🎁 Buy the plans and then take your bunny lover to the lumber yard and buy them the materials and help them make their hutch.🔨 Also i love how clean you keep your barn yard and rabbits!

Hi, really interesting video. I really like that.Thank you ;-) i can give one advice. Keep feeders for food and hay from outside. Its easy and faster to fill them up. Also you avoid to waste a hay. greetings from the Czech Republic ;-)

[@sheepdoglogic]

Love your set up for one reason and one reason only, you are organized and you keep your system clean as you can. This is healthy for everyone and much easier to raise food this way. God Bless

Very nice!!! If you might be looking for ways to protect the wood, look up the Japanese method of preserving wood called Shou Sugi Ban. No nasty chemicals needed and very easy.

Thank you! My oldest daughter was building her first hutch and run and this helped us tremendously.

hello , watching from Philippines . I love your Bunnies . so cute

[@chellerose3470]

Just got done building one of these and I'm so happy with it! The plans are clear, concise, and just beautiful. I'm pretty experienced so I usually just wing it when I build things but this plan saved me a lot of time, money, and trips to the lumber yard! I live in a rainy area so I upgraded to pressure treated 2x4's and added siding to the exterior of the dens. I also split it into two pens with one smaller den on each end, with two roof doors. My bunnies are very much enjoying their upgrade! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful product.

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Amazing!! I’m so happy it went together well for you! ❤️

I’m on the Teal Stone website, but not seeing where to purchase the grow out plans. Are they located under “build out + vlog”?

[@kraziecatclady]

I moved back in July and I have a few over the door hangers I used in my apartment that don't fit any of my cabinets in this house. I was considering taking them to goodwill, but I think you just gave me another idea for what I can do with them. I have a colony set up for my rabbits, but I've been putting their hay in a cardboard box. As expected, they ate the cardboard box. Those hangers I can use in the house anymore will probably be great in my rabbit enclosure. I'm watching this video because I need to build a second enclosure so I can split the girls and boys.

[@williamgibson3958]

So I have been raising chickens for about a yr now and they have been fun and interesting and rabbits had crossed my mind. I am one that researches most everything possible from several different resources before deciding what I would like to do. You are we organized and that’s very appealing to me and the details you use it’s wonderful! I am going to have to look into the livestock registration and see what other meat rabbits are on the list. Thanks so much for your time and sharing!!

[@Consciouslightwarriors]

Thank you for all you do Tiffany! I continue to learn so much from your teachings, shares and offerings 🙏 So far we’ve built two of the buck hutch designs and 6 of the old tractors 🎉 Looking forward to this upgrade too! Abundant Blessings to you always 💖

[@melissaspake7727]

I’m expecting my first litter on March 7th.. well my doe Buttercup is lol, I’m anxious today is the 2nd and I noticed her pulling fur. I got her bred so I was worried they have her breeding date wrong so added her nest box today. I’m really hoping she isn’t going early. I wish that I was able to find Cream D’Argents here in Georgia. I would LOVE to raise them but to get started I just have New Zealand Whites. After I learn what I’m doing maybe I can find me a pair of Creams

[@ourtinyoasis]

I absolutely love the hutches! ❤❤❤ I love watching and learning from your channel! I’ll be getting those plans Friday for sure, because I already know they are beyond worth it! I built the teal hutch from a year or so ago and that thing is amazing! Can’t wait to build the grow out hutch! Also I just put my garden beds to sleep for the winter and they are covered in rabbit fertilizer! This past summer my garden was amazing! All because of rabbit gold!

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Amazing!! Glad to hear your garden went well. I’m jealous, my garden was a catastrophic failure 😂 but there’s always next year! I think it will go better with more time next year hopefully 😊

Newer subscribers and your channel is a perfect fit for my family. New to raising rabbits so all your information is helping. Currently we have 4 week old kits, so watching all these butchering videos. Your video just clicks with me as you describe the process. Thank you for taking the time to teach us. Question for you where did you purchase the wire for this hutch design? Thanks again for all the great info. Next week we are off from work and we are going to build a hutch with your design. How exciting!

[@RJ-de2up]

For now you can lift one end up about an inch or two, that should allow some of the rain to flow out. Not too much help with the snow.

[@Honkykong19]

We are about to bring rabbits into our homestead here. I’ve had them in the past but it’s been several years . I think I’m gonna do New Zealand or a silk rabbit.

[@Xarcell]

I was going to go with KW cages, but after seeing how you built this where your rabbits can't chew on it intrigued me. Now I'm considering a different design.

[@stitchinginthesticks2719]

We recently just built the rabbit tractors with the plans you have available, now I want to build these!! 😂 They look amazing!! Well done

[@kawaiisenshi2401]

By chance what should be built out first I've seen a couple of her builds for a rabbit hutch, now I am hearing about a tractor, and now grow out pins. So im not sure which build I need to get started

[@stitchinginthesticks2719]

@@kawaiisenshi2401 if you are referring to what to built first for growouts, she has plans for the tractor, and these as far as I know. I built the tractors because I wanted my growouts to have fresh grass everyday. Quickly I realized it is hard work to move them everyday (they are heavy), and also (in my climate) keep them off of wet ground when it rains. 2 major downfalls. These plans though seem to take care of both those problems. However, it does deny them of being on the ground with fresh grass. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

[@kawaiisenshi2401]

@stitchinginthesticks2719 would these grow out pins be an alternative the the 8 bunny teal pen she built a few years ago? Is this the upgraded version?

[@Legend0222]

I don't know if you already have a video about it, you talked a little about it but I would love to see a video about your winter rabbit care where you are? I live in about the same climate and I will be moving and have to change my rabbit setup and want to make sure they have the best setup I can provide.

[@cameronraytucker]

Where did you get that little cube hanging toy? Do you just put hay in there? Just bought the plans, thanks for all you do they look great can't wait to make some of our own!

[@Faithbasedhomesteading]

Please be advised: 1” x 1/2” gride bottoms. Just had to cull a baby that got its leg stuck 😭 They were jumping out of nesting boxes so I moved them to the hutch. First young litter, we will be cautious and wait a lil longer to move them. I’m sure it was a freak accident but heartbreaking. Learn from my mistake! Blessings!

[@woIf]

Nice to see you’re finally making some money off these hutch plans. You mentioned the wire being the most expensive part of your build. Do you figure it’s on par with the cost of KW cages? I am about to build a 4 hole hutch using your original plans and will still need a growout after that. Wondering whether it may be cost effective to purchase enough wire for both and make the modular cages myself.

[@rebeccapomper1532]

Sorry, this may sound like a silly question but what have you found is the best way to attach the J feeders. I hate cutting into my cage wire but I can’t get our curious bunnies to push them from underneath and dump the feed.

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Not a silly question! For my breeder cages in the barn, I did cut the wire. But for the growout hutches, I drilled two holes in the back of the metal and two holes in the den wall. Then looped zip ties around so it’s suspended against the wall. I hope that makes sense 🙂

[@busybunnyhomestead]

Before I buy the plan, What is the ( average) cost to build one of these cages to you specifications ?

[@chellerose3470]

Hello! I just finished building one and it comes in just about $200 before taxes including all the wire, fasteners, and lumber. I live in oregon and I've heard our lumber is more expensive but we also don't have sales tax. You can save money by only using 1 sheet of metal for the lid the way that Tiffany did in the video if you don't live in a rainy or snowy area. I cut mine and turned it sideways so the rain runs off properly but it ends up taking 2 sheets instead of 1. You could also save a little by making one long side plywood instead of cage wire, But I would only do that If you have very very mild summers as it would cut down on the ventilation quite a bit. If you are Building more than one you can save by buying the wire in bulk. I also made mine 2 cages by putting a divider in the middle and making two separate smaller dens. I felt like this plan was a very good bang for the buck and I think it saved money to have a clear plan.
