You can buy a cage both in the store and from the hands of rabbit breeders. However, in this case, you may encounter a problem - there is no guarantee that the cell meets all the requirements. Therefore, many solve the problem by creating them with their own hands. Cages for rabbits, the drawing of which is made in accordance with all the rules, can greatly facilitate the care of pets.
We will need
Experts recommend making cells from the following materials:
- plywood (board) for walls (no matter what you choose, the ideal condition is the smoothness of the wooden parts of the cage);
- wooden bars for the frame and support;
- wooden or plastic slats (thickness 3 cm) for decoration.
This is enough to make a cage for rabbits. The drawing also has a large number of varieties. Here are some examples.
Standard cells
When making cages for rabbits, it should be understood that they need to be installed at a distance of 80 centimeters from the ground. To do this, you will need to build a kind of columns. It is best to make double-decker cages for rabbits. Drawing in this situation is quite simple. The floor in such stands is made of concrete or boards - your choice. On a ready-made basis, you will need to install the pallet, which is necessary for more convenient maintenance. Yes, and the pets themselves in a wooden pallet will be much easier to catch. The width of such a structure should not exceed 80 centimeters. Doors will be mounted on the front wall. A feeder should also be installed there.
What is worth understanding?
The rabbit nest must be placed forty centimeters from the outer wall. It should be separated from the rest of your rabbit cage. The drawing also implies the creation of a hole through which the pets will fall into their nest. The floor in it should be made of solid boards. In the entire remaining cage, the base must be made of mesh or wooden battens. In order to protect the lower floor from feces coming from above, between the overlap, lay a special sheet or pallet. It will also greatly simplify the cleaning process. These are the basic tips to consider anyway. Also remember that you must immediately determine the size of the cage for rabbits. They depend on how many pets you are going to breed.
Tip
There are many standards in the complex matter of breeding these eared animals and building houses for them, but avid rabbit breeders often depart from them, inventing their own drawings of rabbit cages, experimenting and trying to create the most comfortable living conditions for their pets. Do not be afraid to deviate from norms and standards. If you are a beginner rabbit breeder and are afraid to start building a rabbit cage, drawings should be done carefully and accurately, checking every dubious moment. In addition, you can hire professionals to perform certain tasks.
Conclusion
Now you know what a standard drawing of a rabbit cage is, and you can prepare it yourself. Remember that this business should be approached with accuracy and responsibility. Good luck in this matter and success in breeding rabbits at home!
