Hi nostr, just a quick check in for the day. We have new baby bunnies, and had not seen them until one of them ventured out of the nest. There are at least 4 of them that we can see, very cute. We'll see how things go with them when they start running around in the chicken run. This is still an experiment, and this is the first litter born into the new setup, where the rabbits and chickens share the run. Anyway, yall have a good evening nostr friends. #grownostr #homesteading #rabbits

Indeed!

Do you have to provide additional care for baby rabbits? We have two does that may or may not be preganant

Not really, the momma does feed them and care for them. We just provide nesting areas and wooden "tunnels" for them to hide in.

Thank you

Love it, are you keeping the rabbits in the run just with chicken wire on the ground or something else?

We have a double layer, chicken wire and netting. We stapled the wire in the ground, every few feet. So far they havent dug out of the run.

By netting you mean hardware cloth?

No, we originally used the electronetting stuff that a friend gave me, not electrified. Then we added the layer of chicken wire.

Got it, so both are on the ground to prevent burrowing. Thanks

Yes, and they have burrowed some, to keep cool, but within the run, not on the edges.

That sounds interesting. For us, this was an experiment for sure. But so far so good. And i think the rabbits are happier with alot more space to run around.
