Colony raising rabbits isn�t hard, but there are a few considerations that can make setting up a rabbit colony go more smoothly. when i brought home our american chinchilla breeding trio, i had researched raising meat rabbits extensively. i knew i wanted to raise my rabbits in a colony.. As you know, i am a huge advocate for colony raising rabbits, in new zealand that means we have to keep them in a shed, away from any possible contact with wild rabbits. rcd precautions to prevent the spread of rabbit calicivirus on outdoor runs : try and put fine insect mesh on all runs.. The most commonly asked question i've had about my colony is, "can i see your setup?" so here it is! i'll explain each thing as i go along. hopefully this will help anyone who wants to start raising their rabbits in a colony. i've affectionately named the shed where my colony is housed, "the bunny�.
But i think if someones going to be raising colony meat buns in pens, its definatly a good idea, stops predators from digging in, and bunnies from digging out. keeps them "natural" but a lidded "nest/warren" box makes checking litters acessable form the inside if you allow them to kit in the colony pen.. Wood planks or sheets - this is not a common option when building a new pen or shelter for rabbits, but it is very common when retro-fitting an existing stall, shed or other structure for use with colony rabbits. it can be done well, but with some strong limitations..
