we are getting them tmrw. she lives an hour south of us. I don’t believe she is bad or she is selling bad animals, i think she managed them wrong and they have too many. it’s one of those situations where they are giving up their whole brood stock for personal reasons. she is advertising them for $20 each, it’s just I talked the price down

Good luck

I know its wrong to keep rabbits in a cage with that type of floor as it sits on concrete blocks because it will lead to sore hocks, They will be out of those cages by morning when the pen is completed. I would have been completed by now but I had a small bout of food poisoning (very minor) and it made me feel less than productive. The male will likely end up in a large cage with the female living in a large 4x8 pen like my other female rabbit. 32 square feet for the females because they will be raising kits and the males get 9 square feet in a cage with frequent walks on a leash.

compost king: i’m glad ur feeling better! I went back and saw that the bunny was a white rex! it looked like a new zealand before I saw what you said about white rex. I love the rex breed! I see your in salisbury n.c., i’m in boone, and the rabbits i’m getting are in hickory!

I wish I could give mine that much room
Our setup is a bit backward. We had a wildlife emergency and moved everyone into the garage. just about everybody was out of wire, so we had to put the little buns in large bird cages and ended up with a quail squabble moved the “victim” in the indoor rabbit cage. So, we have birds in the rabbit cage and rabbits in the bird cages! Thankfully, the wire finally came in, now I just need to find the time to make the rabbits’ cages. Sigh!But they’ll have to stay in the garage until we finish getting/building a shed.

Do you everything set up? Hay, toys, food and water dishes, ect.?

So, are you going to keep all of them, sell some, try to get them adopted, or use them for meat?

I had to convert 2 chicken coops into rabbit pens. My males still live in cages though but I have very large cages for them. Cages I used to put breeding females in are now male cages. I came to the conclusion that Rabbits need more room than the suggested minimum.

If I did not have yard flooding issues I would build rabbit colonies by making a giant cage and bring half of it into the ground so they can tunnel and live normal. I need slopping land for that so I can water proof it all with french drains under the cage when I install it into the ground but my land is flat and the water would have no where to flow to.

This is will be my first time owning a rabbit so any information will be helpful i can't keep him inside but i have my terrace which is very spacious and i can bring him out in the garden for a few hours but the problem is my dog is in the garden most of the time. he is not aggressive but he gets very curious and excited which can scare or shock the rabbit. Im getting it on monday i dont have much space for him rn but i have really big crates. I just need to add wire on them for safety
