Cool. That is probably the best form of rabbit housing. I was planning on all-wire hutches for mine, but couldn't find the right type of wire. They now live in wire hutches with wooden frames. Do all-wire hutches really work as well as they are said to?
X2 x X2 the BEST and only way to go for desease control as well as the most efficient for production and labor savings.Oh yes they do, they are the easiest to keep clean, no scraping poop piles out of the wood supported corners. I used a small propane torch to sanitize and burn the fur off when I cleaned the cages. Can't do that to a wood hutch! LOL Rabbits can get sore hocks from the uneven nubs of hardware cloth, 1"x1/2" is the best for bottom wire. Run it up the sides about 4" to keep the newborn kits from wriggling out, then clip on 1"x2" wire for sides and top. I used open top nest boxes with wire bottoms so urine ammonia didn't build up and give the kits pneumonia. If it was cold, I put those aluminum clamp type automotive lights over the nest box to keep the kits warm.
Oh, I'm not really sure. They look like NZWs but in all kinds of other colors. Back when we started there was one doe that looked like a lop of some kind so they have a little of that in 'm. When I have my colony pen going good I hope to purchase a trio of rex or mini rex. That'd be cool.Nice!! What breed are they?
