Wow! That is sweet. I was going to use corrugated roofing under the cage. Thanks for the cleaning head-up.
Now I'm thinking Linoleum, often can get some cheap on craigslist.

Do you mind telling me where you got the cages?

I actually made those, with instructions from this blog. It was more work than I imagined it would be... lol!

Thanks for the link. Your cages look like they were commercially produced, you did a very good job. However, you sent me to that blog without a *warning* attached lol. I read the blog, got to the end, and it was so very sad . I felt sorry for her.

Just a fair warning to anyone else who opens that link, the story doesn't have a fairy tale ending!!!!

What's sad? I've been on that site twice, (BTW thanks for posting the blog, very informational) and can't find the sad part. Maybe I'm missing something. Is it because they are commercial meat rabbits? Fairy tale ending for meat rabbits is the stew pot. Which brings sustenance to a family. It is what it is. I see no "warning" that should be attached to commercial meat rabbits. :/

Heck no, the sustainability part and the eating them is not at all sad, it delicious.

Read the whole blog. Her husband died this year and she was forced to get rid of all her rabbits. She has since quit writing her blog..... The sad part is someone with so much knowledge has had to put her hobby to bed.

Changes - Time for Good-Byes
I have enjoyed this time and adventure of raising rabbits commercially very much, but life is always changing.


Since my husband passed away on June 2 this year, I have had some tough decisions to make. I have had to realize it would be next to impossible to continue the rabbits by myself. That said this will be the last post on this blog.

Yeah, it made me sad to hear that she lost her hubby and had to give up rabbits too....I guess I was not expecting folks to read the whole thing...I don't know WHY NOT...I did!

Sorry for no disclaimer!

Thanks. Was just looking at the crate set up and didn't read the whole blog. It is truly sad when death occurs and the dreams you both started has to leave as well.
