Thank You for posting this video. You are the first person that I have seen that posted a video using the correct gauge wire mesh for the bottom of the cages. Plus you are the first person that has taken the time to actually show how to properly install the J clips. I know your videos will help many people.
Thank you so much for patiently showing all your steps. You made it so easy to understand. The details about the grinder disks and the difference in the welded galvanized and galvanized after-welded wire was very helpful. I really appreciate all your work on the cages and the video.
I had 50 breeding does when I was 14 years old. That was over 60 years ago. I would like to have several New Zealand Whites for breeders and a good buck. I had made wooden cages with tight mesh chicken wire. The wood was from lap board that I saved from our remodeling our 98 year-old house. I sure like the all-wire cages you are making. I appreciated your step by step instructions. Watched it all. It is now 2:38am. Time to go to bed.
WOO HOO!!! I finished the cage and hutch build. I have a nice framework and roof as well. Everything is all leveled up and the bunnies are outside. I am so happy and so proud of myself, but man oh man am I tuckered out. I wish I could upload a picture of my build using your instructions. Thanks again.
Man dude you can't stop lying to people can you you're lying to everybody that's God's only what he says in comments and don't put a heart on it he is crazy I know they'll put him to the cops
Hey Duke some time ago I mentioned to you that I was going to build your style cages, well I forgot to give you the update. I completed the cages and I have to say that I followed your instructions to the letter and we are well pleased with the results. In fact I've had some folks compliment me, wanting to know where I bought them telling me that they looked professionally built. I did share with them that I used your instructions and gave them your yutube channel. Thanks so much. for guiding me Brother. In Christian love, terry
"I hope this was helpful." Yessiree bobtail! It sure was helpful. You just gave me the pattern for my own hutches when I git to going up in Maine. THANK YOU!
Excellent craftsmanship details. Love that. As a teenager I built my original cages with wood framing and hardware cloth and later discovered the value of the all wire hanging cages. What a difference they make. Your cages are nearly identical to those I saw once in a large rabbitry. He advised making them in 2 or 3 cage units as you have done. They were easier to make and hang in the pole barn that he used and he said easier to repair if damaged in some way. How large? 200+ breeding does
Duke, I have to confess, I cheated a bit by skipping forward in steps. But while doing so, I was able to admire your handiwork. I picked up some good tips, like how to cut strong, no. 9, galvanized wire! I can see that your rabbits are very content. They seem to have smiles on their faces! What nice cages. Good job my friend!
I think you remind me of my dad overalls, beard and all! You tell it like it is. You're super thorough and you don't repeat yourself lol. Excellent video....I really enjoyed hanging out with you today and learning from you.
I just went and looked at some rabbit hutches for sale and wasn't impressed with the quality (rooting wood). I've apparently searched enough Rabbit videos that yours popped up as recommended and has been so helpful. Thank you for starting me on my rabbit journey. New subscriber here.
if you are starting out you could save money if you found wire cages that are the right size to fit your needs...pay particular attention to the cage floors...and Thanks for subscribing
Hey Kevin! Good to here from ye ol buddy!...I get a lot of questions bout building cages so I thought about a video I can refer to folks....Thanks ol buddy!
i have heard that rabbits can get sore hawks from this kind of bedding. Maybe wrong wire? i just dont want toes being caught in that big of holes. As long as if its flat wire and not bumpy or anything will it not hurt the rabbits feet?
thank you for the video, will help making my quail cage. i love how you made the doors, and suspended the cages. That will make it nearly impossible for predators.
where the piece seems longer on one side than the other, it would work to start cutting from the long side toward the short side to relieve the tension and then clip the cut line back together squaring it up.it looks good regardless.
You might have already answered this question (but didn't see it asked). What is the brand name on the J Clip tool? I can't seem to find that particular tool anywhere. It looks much better that the tool I have. Thank You for your answer and your video from the West side of Arkansas!
I want to build a rabbitry pen like this but so many people on the internet are saying that the wire under paws damages them and causes wounds as rabbits have no natural padding under their paws. Is this true? How are your rabbits' paws? Is there a way that you work your materials to avoid this kind of issue? I want to make sure I'm doing things properly. Thanks in advance. xxx
I can tell you this wire is made for keeping rabbits. I have raised New Zealands for over 40 yrs and never had feet problems. The lie about the wire comes from people leaving hay in the bottom of the cages to rot and it contains urine that will burn their feet and lose the natural hair padding. They're feet are padded and with sanitary cages and good wire they're feet will be fine. I have raised some old rabbits, no problems. I can't tell you about other breeds
www.bassequipment.com/Store/ShopDetail/GALVAFTER-00/GALVANIZED_AFTER_WIRE you should see it about half way down the list. Contact them for details but you want the 14 gauge galvanized after welding. The height should be 18" for this wire
Pretty large rolls of cage wire you have there! How do you prepare for motor freight delivery? Can it be delivered into the back of a full size pickup truck? If delivery truck has lift gate, that's easy, but what about without that convenience. Rolls like that are heavy, I'm sure. Hope you can reply. Subbed and happy about that!
The company you order wire from will make the freight arrangements and time for delivery...the freight company driver calls and I meet him where it is convenient for both of us. The rolls are heavy but can't remember the exact weight. We did not need a lift gate to get them in the back of a p/u
Howdy Worm Gitter. I'm new to your channel and I want a system just like yours. However I'm having a hard time finding the different cage wire materials exactly to your specifications. If you are an affiliate with Amazon, can you link the differing exact wires we will need to buy from Amazon? I'd appreciate it. Thank you for your great videos! I binge watched a ton of them last night! :)
I am not affilliated with Amazon or Bass equipment. Here is their link and the GAW is the best...this is not wire from China and will last a lot longer than the cheap wire....Thanks for watching and commenting www.bassequipment.com/SCResult/Welded-Wire-231
@@WORMGITTER Thank you sir! That was very helpful. It seems they even sell pre-built cages with your height/width/length description. I'm not sure what size the flooring is for it though. But yes, I'll order from this site as the selections for the dimensions are all there. Thanks again!
I bought cages in the past built with hog rings and remember they worked good. A lil loose maybe...I'm going to give it a closer look and appreciate the idea
Hey Duke, that was a great video. I'm going to be building more cages soon. Mine are wood ,wire and barn tin. with removable dividers. but it's a pain to clean them. I've been using a propane torch with a rose bud tip to clean them. How do you clean yours ?
I use a hose and a stainless steel wire brush.....I have used the propane burner but the hose and brush work fine....be sure to use stainless brush or you will contaminate the wire....not sure how much rust it would cause but I use stainless as a precaution...Thank you Jeremy! Have a real good weekend ol friend
Looks good! This is a pretty cool project Duke, I have learned quite a bit from your rabbit videos. I am a bit lost on one part though..what is a grow out pen? Or what is the use of one or maybe I should ask, what is the difference between a grow out pin and a stock cage? Thanks for being safe and showing safe use of the grinder..one of my boys had a very serious accident with one..luckily my other boy came up and checked on him and got him to the hospital! I look forward to seeing more of your videos on raising rabbits...Have great weekend my friend!
Hey Lee! the grow out pens need larger feeders for the young rabbits that are weaned...the stock cages need baby safe wire for the newborn kits.....the way I am building them they can interchange and it just makes the cages more versatile...take care ol buddy and Thanks!
Lee Ralph - I describe a grow out pen like sending the kids off to school. Once mama weans her babies she needs her space. So out they go to a nice sized pen. All of them can still stay together for awhile until they’re sold or butchered. That’s why the feeder is bigger because they all pull up to the “table” together like in the school cafeteria. This is especially true with New Zealands- they grow fast and big. And mamas have big litters too. Just putting my take on things.
it is expensive...but worth the money....if you are starting out you might want to buy some used cages to see if you like raising rabbits...good wire is the only way to go for the long term
i would LOVE to see a video on how you set up your watering system and the materials to use. Very neat and out of the way! No tubing hanging all over!! Love your style! Check out foxfire in nc : ) you might enjoy stories!..Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. God bless and keep you and yours!
thank you so much, very helpful tips and info. I am starting with 2 angora rabbits I am raising for the fiber. I would like to give mine some winter shelter, how do I attach a box to this type cage? I also wont have a rabbit barn, I am thinking to build a 2x4 frame place the cage on that and add a roof on the top of the frame. any suggestions?
I don't know the temperatures where you live but have raised rabbits with tin on the top of the cages in full shade....but yeah the tin on a 2x4 frame raised up 8 or 10 inches from the top of the cage will give them more air....and keep the rain out with an overhang....you can see how I have the boxes attached with the plywood on the inside of the cage, and also have 1x4s running the length of the cage supporting the boxes on the ends. You can keep your buck warm in the winter if you build a wood rectangular box that will fit through the cage door. I like the permanent housing for my breeding stock, and they like it too
I am upstate south carolina, on the edge of the mountains, so it can get quite cold here. I hit the lumber yard this morning and have my lumber and roofing that matches my chicken coop. I got my wire and clips etc yesterday. I have the bottom and 2 sides on as of this afternoon. I am making mine 8 feet long and 2 compartments for my angoras. all my parts are cut and the edges ground nicely. I am so glad you showed how to deal with wire that has "run off" because I am dealing with it on both sides by about a half inch. I was rather smug that I had gotten a cheapo harbor freight 4 inch cut off wheel yesterday evening as well, and THEN I saw your video. Grinding the miter on the wire is a great tip as well. So... I will start tomorrow with putting in my ends and the partition. But I am wondering, since I plan to let them both have a box year round, should I stop and build those and attach them on the ends BEFORE I flip it over and add the top? thats what seems logical to me... thanks in advance, and your video rocks... but I would love a better look at your boxes, its really quick on the video.
You can build the boxes later....if your cages are 24" deep then you can make the boxes 24"inches long, the width of the cage. Build the boxes out of 1x12 pine boards and place a sheet of plywood on the inside of the cage the same size as the end wall, then use the right length screws an screw from the inside of the cage through the plywood into the box. The end wall will be "sandwiched" between the plywood and box. I use hardwood strips of wood around the opening for them to chew on...cut the opening the size you want toward one end of the box instead of the middle, preferably on the side near the front of the cage so you can see in there easily. The permanent housing works great and offers protection from varmints and they love them..
thank you so much, you are so helpful and generous with your information thank you so much for being so generous with your knowledge, it is much appreciated.
I don't like using wire mesh for the floors bcs rabbits can get bruises and after that infection into their paws ... Better but with a same function is grate from planks ... its just few 1.2 inches wide planks with 0.4 or 0.6 inches spaxe between them ... they can pee and take a shit and their paws are dry and no bruises at all .. just saying my opinion and some ideas :)
@@WORMGITTER Any reason you attach a large nest box on the side of the cage instead od inserting a 18" x 10" that lots of people take out after a while? Great video by the way. I'm in the middle of building my 3 does plus growouts plus a few extras. Should be finished tomorrow. Then one more day building the metal frame and the drainage system. Still need to build the feeders (too expensive in Australia), have most of the scrap metal for it, and the water system after that
@@TheC920996mmkj they like having a house and it helps them to feel safe. Also they can get out of the weather...since the barn is open. You can't leave the young in the open box because they will use it for a bathroom...after they leave the nest they don't go back in till they kindle...it works out good

I was rather smug that I had gotten a cheapo harbor freight 4 inch cut off wheel yesterday evening as well, and THEN I saw your video. Grinding the miter on the wire is a great tip as well. So... I will start tomorrow with putting in my ends and the partition. But I am wondering, since I plan to let them both have a box year round, should I stop and build those and attach them on the ends BEFORE I flip it over and add the top? thats what seems logical to me... thanks in advance, and your video rocks... but I would love a better look at your boxes, its really quick on the video.
You can build the boxes later....if your cages are 24" deep then you can make the boxes 24"inches long, the width of the cage. Build the boxes out of 1x12 pine boards and place a sheet of plywood on the inside of the cage the same size as the end wall, then use the right length screws an screw from the inside of the cage through the plywood into the box. The end wall will be "sandwiched" between the plywood and box. I use hardwood strips of wood around the opening for them to chew on...cut the opening the size you want toward one end of the box instead of the middle, preferably on the side near the front of the cage so you can see in there easily. The permanent housing works great and offers protection from varmints and they love them..
thank you so much, you are so helpful and generous with your information

WORM GITTER Thank you. Very informative.

I don't like using wire mesh for the floors bcs rabbits can get bruises and after that infection into their paws ... Better but with a same function is grate from planks ... its just few 1.2 inches wide planks with 0.4 or 0.6 inches spaxe between them ... they can pee and take a shit and their paws are dry and no bruises at all .. just saying my opinion and some ideas :)
I never had the troubles you describe....what material are the planks?
Where did you buy your wire? All I can find where I am locally comes in 10' length....

Very helpful 👌
Mr Duke how big are your nesting boxes
Can you give the dimensions
12x12x24 I used pine 1 x12's...Thanks
@@WORMGITTER Any reason you attach a large nest box on the side of the cage instead od inserting a 18" x 10" that lots of people take out after a while? Great video by the way. I'm in the middle of building my 3 does plus growouts plus a few extras. Should be finished tomorrow. Then one more day building the metal frame and the drainage system. Still need to build the feeders (too expensive in Australia), have most of the scrap metal for it, and the water system after that
@@TheC920996mmkj they like having a house and it helps them to feel safe. Also they can get out of the weather...since the barn is open. You can't leave the young in the open box because they will use it for a bathroom...after they leave the nest they don't go back in till they kindle...it works out good
Awesome cage sir . 🇮🇳
Thank ye
