Thats why I dont give wine away anymore – all I asked was that I wanted the bottles back – gave up dumpster diving & recyclers dont take glass anymore

Distractions – time and logistics budgeting – finance budgeting ( miserly ) – does that ring a bell ?

Youve got the key of respect for your gifts – my admiration !

Wow yes – glad youre so productive – making bone broth – I just boil the carcass strain the stock from meat which becomes shredded rabbit barbecue – bones get burned and innards get buried deep in compost

Yeah, funny you mentioned restore – I’ve been using the cheap polyethelene cloth for the rabbit tractor & hutch awnings and sick of it’s short mortality in the elements soooo, I found, and bought, used 8’x15′ roadside billboard sign to cut & replace the cheap poly – pro, cost $35 & free shipping. – con , heavy but will last forever !

Donna – sorry , I replied but not in the right place (?) So here is the answer in your > reply < box –
Yes, rabbits will dig burrows – its a natural thing – but – I’m more worried about what will get in – funny thing , Lovey got out ( the cage door was tampered with in the way only a human could do ) but she’s such a baby that she just meandered about munching grass and I just walked up talking normal to her picked er up and put her back into the cage she shares with her sister Annie, although separated by wire divider – no big deal – my rabbits are so mellow

Well Donna – for me – they could make a heroic effort at digging out but I dont think they would ( maybe ) make it all the way (?) – BUT – for me, it’s more of a predator getting under and in – especially for the young kits – a big ole barn snake could slither and eat, no problem – but I worry about coons, coyotes and dogs that have the ability to flip, dig and generally just tear it up – somebody’s roaming pit bull tore the shade awnings and food container off ( leaving a hole big enough for a smaller predator to maybe get in), off of the girls tractor but my motion sensor cameras alerted me and I got out their pronto so , no real damage done – I might be going on to long here – you know the song – Dont start me talkin, I’ll tell everything I know 😁

Depends on whether its for a stationary hutch or for a mobile lawn tractor – tne mobile tractor should be as lite as possible – the Hutch boils down to cost and weather – If the edges are sealed as well as the broad surfaces it should last 5 years or so but it will need resurfacing periodically

Hey GRITS – dont know who your addressing re tin roof ( I get confused who’s answering/adressing who ) but – you make a good point regarding the hot metal – I use corrugated plastic (cheaper ) – but – give the cage / tractor a little height, open on the long sides for breeze and I built awnings that fold up out of the way for feeding but really give good shade and diverts rain away them & food tins

Absolutely it does reduce storebought – and they love it – just bein down on the ground – makes we wish I could remove the wire bottoms for more comfort but predators and the burrowing out would be worse – tradeoffs I guess – Did you notice the water reservoir on the ‘ Above Ground Hutch ‘ 4″ pvc Tube with lines that lead around back to nipple waterers in each cage – reduces watering frequency to 4 days or so.

Very nice – lots of effort – is there a pee separator in there somehow

Maybe Macks a little burned out
