This is one of my outdoor setups. It has 10 holes, cost about $250 to build, and is a meat rabbit factory.

How to you get to the rabbits at the back?

Ummmm, by walking around to the cages in the back?

How do you get into the cages in the back?

Through the doors? There are feeders and water valves on those cages; it just makes sense that there are doors there, too.

Does anyone raise silverfox rabbits?

I would love this plan too. Since it has wood on the inside, I would rather panel it with plastic or basement wall panels to keep the urine and droppings to the bottom. I am not sure what they use for the center dropping pans but it looks like some kind of plastic canvas. I would rather put something more flexible, that the pans can be removed for deep cleaning. I am sure I probably can make one out of the walls of fence panelings, 4x4 for corner posts and have the cages "hanging". With bad weather, you can make some kind of heavy canvas or painter's cloth, rolled up near the eaves and drop when it gets bad.

AND get some kind of roofing shelter past that opening so you can walk up to it without being rained or snowed on and no standing water.
