Do the rabbits try to dig out of their enclosure? We have a few meat rabbits and we keep them in cages but I've been thinking they'll be better overall with a large enclosure like you have.

Even the slightest protruding leaf of the cannabis plants gets quickly nibbled away by the rabbits. Soon the plants will be tall enough to spread branches out higher than the reach of the rabbits. We are going to have to start harvesting rabbits soon by the look of the numbers in the colony. The older males will start fighting for territory and that's when we know it's time.

The chicken wire that's attached to the woven wire fence to keep them in is bent at the bottom and extends about a foot to the inside of the fence. So they have to dig a tunnel to get out. I'm not sure if that's why they don't dig out or if its just big enough that they don't need more space for their territory. We haven't had any issues with the rabbits escaping or predators so far after more than 2 years of keeping them this way.
