Hanging cages

[anthonyjames]

I am looking to move my rabbits yet again. I hate cleaning up after them and all the poo. I much prefer them hanging. Before I was so worried about them I had the cages screwed into 2x4's plus chain supporting from the beams and more. Needless to say I am guessing over kill.

I have 12 30 x 30 x 16 cages I want to hang. Am I over compensating for hanging them? Can they just be suspended from beams and nothing else? Do I have to worry about the cages swaying and so on?

Can anyone share some images of their hanging areas?

Thanks

Anthony, take a look at my hanging cages under housing meat rabbits. Mine hang from chains and I have noticed there is a bit of a swing when they all get excited. The breeder I got my Florida Whites from has hanging cages that have 1/2 copper plumbing tubing running through the cages and then has chains attached to them.
I also raise a smaller meat rabbits.
But, on that thread I also posted an address that shows pictures of another really unique setup.

Good luck

I took these this evening. And remember, I raise Florida White rabbits which at adulthood are 5-6 lbs. You can also use a copper or steal 1/2 inch pipe and run it through a string of cages and hang them from that. I would think that would be quite stable.

Hope this helps

I hang mine on 3 inch exterior screws and haven't had one fall yet

had 11 7-8 weeks in the one cage with 2 32oz water bottles and a 8 inch metal feeder


I hand them in my chicken run so they get to work cleaning up under them

not sure if you can see but to the right there is a cage hanging inside and behind the run there is 3 more hanging there I am extending the run just so I can hang all of them inside and be a clean free job for me

will get you more pictures once I am done extending the run and have the rabbits setup
