@samuelwaynefoleyjr – Rabbits are in individual cages suspended 2 1/2 feet
off the ground, tarps underneath collect rabbit poop and pee.

@RedeemingDogs — Yes, I totally understand that. When I first made my
comment, I don’t think I had seen the videos where your kids are walking
around. With small children, I can understand how roosters just aren’t a
good idea (it makes sense as far as noise with neighbors too). I just wrote
that because roosters are amazing (as long as you have a situation where
you can keep it)… Anyway, I hope your chickens and rabbits are doing
well^^

@hannanasje1987 yeah u can’t keep rabbits together in a big pen, especially
both sexes together, they must not know that the males will overbreed the
females, and other rabbits will sometimes kill other rabbits babies, they
must be seperate especially with babies, and always seperated from males,
except when time to breed. You have a very nice setup, i will post some
videos of my stuff one day.

I used 5 panels for the rabbit building and a panel is ~4.5 feet high, by
16 feet long. So when bent I have a hoop house that is 6 feet tall, 8 feet
wide, and 22.5 feet long. So you can adjust the length based on how many
panels you use. I think the chicken coop has four panels.

I’m building a setup like yours for my chickens and I was wondering how you
keep the panels stable? I’ve got landscape timbers on bottom strapped to
rebar that’s pounded into the ground and the cattle panel hoop is against
the landscape timbers on the inside. My panel is kinda wobbly, like back
and forth. Will it be more stable once I add more panels or do I need to do
more? I noticed in yours you had wood agianst your panels on the inside and
the outside? Is it attatched or what?
