Rabbit droppings are suuuuper good for gardens, specially for fruiting plants. Actually makes sense, they eat and fertilize what they eat. I found the best way for fertilizing pots is to put a 10kg bucket of droppings into a 25l bucket and fill with water and leave for 2 weeks, once your garden juice has matured then you can take 1l of concentrated juice and add to 4l of water and wate all your fruiting plants, dont use the concentrate because it will burn the roots. Then you just keep adding bunny pellets and water until the 25l bucket needs to be cleaned out. You can just dump everything into your yard garden or spread it over your lawn. I know a retired guy that uses bunny droppings to breed worms fo fishing but it turns out he can sell his worms for more at the garden centre or nursery as part of a starter kit for a compost heap and some people actually buy worms every month. I have noticed a lot of nigerians and othe north african country folks that stay around me so im gonna start raising meat rabbits. Also gonna try my hand at a small mealworms farm made with drawers. To practice for the apocalypse. Next is oats. Wanna grow oats oh oh oh and my relatively Bonzai indoor mango tree and lemon tree and avocado tree that will all he the size of an average door for ease of moving around my apartment. . The rabbits will fit right in. . . .wonder if fish will eat rabbit pellets. . . Anyways, rabbits dont get sick like chickens but on the other hand chickens give eggs. Maybe just 2 . . .

I was in the same situation as you, until recently. I got some plastic bins to use as litter boxes. Believe it or not, rabs are actually pretty easy to train on using them. All I did was put some of their manure in one end, & covered it with some hay,. A few began using it immediately; others may take a few days.

I have the perfect solution to your dilemma and I've been thinking about making it for myself but I havnt yet so I'm about to copyright it and test outta idea. Dying to tell you. You pretty much have it down except the bucket. Ok I wrote it down now. make a 50 gallon septic tank or an outhouse system for the animals for outdoors.to drain all the waste through the pcv pipes with a water system that cleans the runner . I figure it's most efficient you could even make Maybe the waste to a compost

the guy i got one of my rabbits from uses some type of catch system as well. It faces forward with metal pieces (i think) falls into pvc pipe and leads into a bucket. If your rabbits are going outside (which i suggest for places that are smaller but have a yard) you could just make it run off onto the ground and have no catch system, only a guide system to get it onto the ground. Personally i need to move my rabbits outside cus of our A/C and for space. Im going to get hutches built that are 1 story (1 cage) tall (easy for me to reach since im 5'4-5'6 so it will hopefully be more than 3 ft high) If you would have them in the 1 story hutch it could just drop and you could shovel it wherever. It's great manure and can fertilize any plant (even grass)

Be cautious of letting your rabbits forage where wild rabbits are. The spread of a certain disease can take out your entire rabbitry. Ask me how I know. 😢

Joe, I was thinking that you could build the slope of the catch system out of some very light weight plywood and then use some roll flashing to cover the wood. However I then listened again and you said that it is about 30" deep, and the widest flashing that is on the shelf is 24". So, one other idea is to use some Pro Panel, or better know as metal roofing. The panels have ribs in them which is good for strength, but likely more difficult for cleaning. The panels are 39" wide normally and you could trim it to width, and/or bend the sides up to make a true troth. I believe that Home Depot normally has some of the panels in stock is assorted lengths. If you can't bend the panels nicely, I am sure that you could find someone with a siding sheetmetal brake that could do 4 bends for a few bucks. Good luck and if you have any questions please shout.

You can flip a table saw blade around and rip the length of the plastic at the width you need... I use sheet metal roofing on an angle with an overhang. It drains into a wheel barrow and is much stronger than the plastic. Just a couple of thoughts.

Have a sheet metal place do a custom build...measure have corners spot welded, and have a pan made to collect poop and urine...use a 1"x 1" piece to hold up ends. See if an ac heating and cooling can help out, (don't they custom build some of their connections?

I think your frame design has a flaw in the middle support beam. Instead of using wood framing, did you consider using commercial pallet shelves? Sturdy, metal, and can hold a lot of weight. They are 6 to 8 feet long, from 2 to 4 feet deep, and have adjustable shelves. I found some to fit the Tractor Supply cages on the local FB market place. Using these, the clear roofing material works much better to funnel the poop into a gutter. Also, not sure if you tried to cut the clear material with snips, but they work great for me.

Run plastic under each level sloping from front to back of cage, then add a gutter system with a fall to preferred side of cages. Have both catchers/gutters meeting into 1 down pipe landing into the bucket. Also can use two smaller buckets that stack and drill holes into the top one to let urine flow but catches the rabbit poo

hi joe if yo nailed in some smaller pieces of wood into the frame making in so some sort of bin could slide in and out then you would be able to get some metal or plastic bins to put under neath you could put a trash bag in those bins instead of having to clean them every time im shaw you would have some left over wood so the latches that hold your bin would bassicaly come free and then use some bins you already have or just buy some cheap ones this would make it inexpencive and really easy to mentain and look after

Hello. Bass Equipment has a method that works well that is pvc based waste removal. maybe something like that would work for you or something built based on what they do there is no reason why you couldnt get those parts and give it a try, , I ve been raising rabbits for a long time and a setup like that makes good sense

So Pull out tray are your best option for your set up. But I do not recommend keeping them in your house rabbit pee smells really badd And any system where you have it dripping you're just going to add to the smell problem because you're adding to the amount of of Evaporation that is going on And without enough ventilation you and your rabbits will get sick Just trying to help

Small cages with wire on the floor is not very good for your bunny. Id suggest having them in a chicken hutch with wire on the bottom sort of like this: goo.gl/images/A2vHuS You Should also have some toys for them as well, so they dont get so bored. You can make homemade ones such as goo.gl/images/CzZUpD Rabbits also do not like water bottles, they would much rather have a bowl with water (rabbits can get too dehydrated with water bottles because they are much hoarded to use and you can only get small amounts) This is just a suggestion, No hate pls 😊
