Cages for rabbits
Benefits & Features
Many compare do-it-yourself cages and professional designs for rabbits. To do this is not entirely right, because ordinary rabbit houses are not built according to strict criteria and are not based on drawings, but on paper notes.
A home-made design of this kind does not need special materials: the use of bars, nets, rails and other improvised tools that do not always provide comfort are suitable.
Industrial rabbit cages are considered more comfortable and suitable for a healthy existence. Such houses have a number of features, including:
- receipt for sale in an already made form;
- arrangement using retractable trays for feces, built-in feeders, drinking bowls and nurseries for hay;
- light weight and cell sizes - structures are easy to move and carry;
- stability and durability of materials, which allows the rabbits not to be in a state of stress and calmly eat food;
- production of stainless material or equipping with galvanized wires.
For the construction of industrial cells with their own hands, special building materials will be needed, the purchase of which is cheaper than the purchase of a finished house.

Design "Practice FR-231"
The two-tier type of house, which is known to every farmer, is often found both among owners of large farms and on mini-farms.

If there is a desire to expand the animal business and economy, then an additional installation of 6 more nests is possible, allowing a three-fold increase in the number of queen cells. When using the model for fattening, the number of individuals is increased to 85-90 pieces and evenly distributed at each level.
The peculiarity of the content in the modular design of FR is a possible change in configuration, which is affected by the stage of the process of the livestock there. Each separate section is supplemented by a convenient and functional spring-loaded lid. Its main goal is to facilitate access to boxing. Semi-industrial designs of FR are ideal for small and large farms, because they require a minimum of care and effort.
The advantages of the model according to Zolotukhin
The manufacture of cells according to the Zolotukhin method is common and popular among farmers who prefer home-made options for premises.
