I don't know how feasible it is with your setup, but instead of drop pans on top, how about you put a piece of stiff plastic under the top cages slanting backward? You will have to make more space in between the cages, and you would have to have access to the ground in the back, but the workload savings in the future would be great, and you avoid the smell all together.
throw a handfull of barn lime under the cages once a week ,helps balance ph of manure which takes the smell down.lime is fairly cheap,get it at a feed mill or garden shop.
Have you looked into vermacomposting your rabbit manure.We started a bin about three weeks ago and so far the worms are doing fine. Were looking forward to harvesting the castings and making worm tea for the garden. Hear it works wonders.
@dozer651 Yeah I have been kicking around the idea but it is just one more project that will have to wait for now. Next big project other than the garden is going to be chickens.
I'd like to get my hands on some rabbit manure for my garden this year! All of what I have heard is GREAT! The best thing about it is that you don't have to compost it. You can just put it on fresh and it's not going to burn your plants.
@Laura21701 Yep thats what I have heard also. I am going to start my garden up very soon and will be able to see if I have better results than I had last year without the manure. You could check Craigslist. I have seen it on there for $2 per 5 gallon bucket.
@KainanRa If u is manure of rabbit is ok u can use it after 1 week...but if u use the manure of a cown u have to let him dry more than 2 months and u have to compose whit leafs 40% and sand 10%....normaly feces 50%
Yes it does..... I have my rabbits suspended from the ceiling in the covered part of the chicken pen. The floor area is for the chickens and anything the rabbits drop gets eaten by the chickens. I have noticed this helped out by getting rid of my rodent problems.
thanks for making these vids man. im getting into the idea of raising meat rabbits for myself and all you videos are very helpful. would a .22 pistol be a good method of slaughtering a rabbit? peace and god bless
@taranrogers77 There are a lot of youtube vids on slaughtering rabbits. Generally, a sharp blow to the back of the head with a heavy club or pipe will do..

So, I really want to know how did the rabbit poop help in the garden my friend?
Any problems with burning your crops?
I live in Socal so I wanted to ask you what I need to keep my rabbits alive over winter. As you know it don't get to cold here:)

@taranrogers77 A .22 would be more than enough for putting a rabbit down. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching.
