The best tutorial I have seen! I'm going to ask my son to make a couple. He hates my rabbits because they escape all the time and eat EVERYTHING we dont want them too! This way they are on safely on pasture land and not in the food or flower garden. It was a disaster when they got into the greenhouse 😳
I love how every animal has its use on your property 👍 Edit: Maybe you could do a Video where you show all the animals that currently live with you, would be fun to watch. :)
Wow that came out so well! Nothing is more soothing that watching someone build something from scratch. Super thanks! I am amazed you got so much tools. Wish to see more of you building things. Hello to the animal gang, to Mossy. 😊
Loved the video. All your animals are so fortunate to live at Mossy Bottom. Love the rabbits and the sweet kittens. You are quite talented, Daniel. You are peaceful and calming. Take care.
It really shows with all the thought and effort you have put into this project, that you truly care about your animals. Thank you for sharing with us all just how much you care. I loved the kittens, too cute.
It is also getting colder and rainy too here on the atlantic coast of Portugal. Never saw a rabbit house, and now i even have a tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge with us! :)
That bunny is spoiled! LOL Massage even! The best part was watching the dog watching the rabbits! Justin Rhodes makes something similar for his chickens and his kids move it around. I bet kids could move this around too. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Most enjoyable, had a slight moment of panic when I thought you were going to say that you eat them, you seem to be very good at carpentry. love the long hair btw
Wonderful instructional video! Well paced, filmed, and narrated. You're a very good teacher, Daniel. Thank you for mentioning the tools too, as well as materials - I have no tools yet other than a drill, and zero skills, but it's nice to see what tools you used. I'm glad in a way that you don't have, say, 50 different expensive tools involved! That totally intimidates newbies. I also like that your sponsor is a service you use regularly and which can help many others of us, especially during job loss / change in the pandemic. And the free trials for 1000 people - what a nice way of giving back! Thanks so much!
Love your videos and this design. I'd really encourage you to consider putting some thick insulating material between the wood of the roof and the corrugated metal. Rabbits have super sensitive hearing, and the sound of heavy rain on a metal roof is actually quite stressful for them.
This is perfect! I have been looking into raising rabbits for meat so might need to make the build a bit bigger, but want to make them as nice as possible for the rabbits as I can and this is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you for the build!
Rabbit manure is EXCELLENT for your vegetable garden as well! You put a handful of manure in the whole where you'll place your plant, and a handful over after filling the hole. It does wonders in your harvest!
Your farm is looking great! It is SO lovely to see young adults out there also living their dream simple life :) Thanks so much for sharing great content with us. I do learn a lot from you and I hope my farm will look as nice as yours haha.
Hi Daniel. I've recently discovered your channel and thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I'm fairly self supportive, to some extent, at least and enjoy the solitary lifestyle away from the madness of modern day society. I'd just like to comment on two things regarding your build of the rabbit tractor; Firstly, I would have gone for a slightly thicker piece of timber holding the wheels, to prevent splitting and long term wear. Secondly, your handling of your angle grinder scared me a bit. As I often work with steel and the tools necessary, and might I ad, that I was taught by my late father who was a millwright and a boiler maker, I learnt to handle an angle grinder to the dide(blade running past one's body) for safety. I've, twice, seen people having horrendous accidents with these machines, handling them in a similar way to what you did here. Other than that, awesome work sir. Ps. My family originally came from Ireland and I've always had a special affinity for the country of my Ancestors. If possible, I'd like to visit some day. Sincerely Réno Potgieter South Africa
I love everything about your channel!! Even the commentary about yourself.. You are very thorough and explain everything to the detail. Love learning from this channel. I am going to have rabbits instead of chickens for the time being.
Great video your design will help me alot since my 5 year old has asked for a rabbit since June so I must get cracking. Same design should do for hen's ( a bit bigger)
Highly recommend investment in impact driver for your construction project (readily available in b&d 18v platform) they are very efficient for driving screws ,great job on project
This helped me understand how to build a hinged opening on the frame for my chicken wire garden surround...to keep the squirrels out of my veggies. And let ME in. I enjoyed watching in more or less real time the whole process..
I was rewatching some of your videos, to give myself some motivation and vision of a goal, and wondered if you'd ever make this video after you mentioned it like a year or two ago. Keep up the good work man.
Thanks for the DIY. It’s so helpful! Do the rabbits get to run? You have made such excellent progress. You are a wonderful example of what we can do when we listen to who we really are. Thank you!
Having you work outside is very good for me since I don't have a workshop either! It's also nice when you give both metric and avoirdupois. The hints really help, too.
Loved that video. I like you have rabbits, hens, guineapigs- can’t help wondering why you don’t make a few on slower days and then sell them, I wish I was closer to commission one. Better made than bought ones and you have thought of everything !
Im going to make this, just slightly longer of a run so they can run a bit. Starting my meat rabbit journey, although they’re food I still want them to have a great life.
That's a neat little rabbit coop. Now I only need a large garden. And rabbits 😉 Love the little fluffies...I had 2 pet rabbits for 10+ years as a kid and always enjoyed taking care of them. Wish, moving to a place where land is cheap, was an option for me...
This is really nice. Hope to make one when I have my own house farm soonest next year here in the Philippines. I'd like to have rabbits and chicken too. Thank you for inspiring, Mossy Bottom.
I've seen chicken tractors and have but off building them as they need to be rather large and just not working for me, tho I have 3 acres much of it is wooded or planned gardens. However, I keep quail and this size would be PERFECT. I've thought of just scaling down the larger tractors I've seen tutorials on but this would be ideal for the small covey of quail I keep. I love quail they are in many ways better than chickens for temper and egg production and ease of hatching in incubator but I'll always keep chickens, they just add that special something to the homestead. I've watched you off and on since you began and am really happy with what you've done. I've even given into the RUclips bug myself and started a channel, it is a lot of work, but it's fun and the community for this type of video is so kind. Tho my homestead is small, it is on the ocean in New England so it's usually quite a challenge with wind and salt and such, but since lockdown have we ever been happy we are here and count our blessings daily. Thanks for your videos but especially this one, going to build a quail tractor for sure!
You make it look so easy 😊 I'd love to have some chicken, but in a maisonette in the middle of town that's not going to happen, but watching your vlogs is great👍
Great video. I'm curious, with your experience building the cabin and misc diy around your small holding, what have you found are the essential tools to have? Might be a good subject for a video 👍
Lovely video! You look so much healthier these days. (Living here on the North Irish Coast has improved even my old body!) Do you have mains now? (And PLEASE unwind all of the extension lead. Induced current in a wound cable can cause fires! (I was an electrician in my working days. I saw a few 😢)
Hi Daniel great to see u posted up again , need more like u at this weird time 🙂 . Great tutorial ur tutor would be proud of ur construction 🙂 how many🐇s are u keeping there ,I counted 10 inc babies .

The perfect wind down evening for me....a hot cuppa, a packet of biscuits and Mossy Bottom video...and breath!!
Nice to see you monitising the channel.
good to hear you got a sponsor!
How you get anything done with all those animals to pet is beyond me. Great video thanks for sharing.
lol
The best tutorial I have seen!
I'm going to ask my son to make a couple. He hates my rabbits because they escape all the time and eat EVERYTHING we dont want them too! This way they are on safely on pasture land and not in the food or flower garden. It was a disaster when they got into the greenhouse 😳
Thank you so much! :)
One rabbit alone is a phenomenal grass cutter! That's fabulous that they are helping so much. xx
i love this project, its beautiful to see that animals can enjoy daylight ,the sun ,the grass ...and stil be so useful in the garden :)
Your first sponsored video, well done. I love your rabbits.
I love how every animal has its use on your property 👍
Edit: Maybe you could do a Video where you show all the animals that currently live with you, would be fun to watch. :)
I love your little cottage. It just looks cozy. You seem to get by building what you need with very little. I think your doing fantastic!
Yes would to know more about the cottage and see inside .
Wow that came out so well! Nothing is more soothing that watching someone build something from scratch. Super thanks! I am amazed you got so much tools. Wish to see more of you building things. Hello to the animal gang, to Mossy. 😊
Super relaxing always. You remembered to fill the bird feeder too.
I enjoyed every minute of it.

He is a lucky man. Sensitive but not overly sensitive. I couldn't keep animals in such small places.
Loved the video. All your animals are so fortunate to live at Mossy Bottom. Love the rabbits and the sweet kittens. You are quite talented, Daniel. You are peaceful and calming. Take care.
I really happy about your sponsorship for this video. Long life to your project, you are an inspiration for a lot of people. Cheers from Portugal!
Hair: Still long, more beautiful than ever.
Paid promotion: A good fit, interesting, and unobtrusive.
Bunnies: Always wonderful.
Great video!
You’re the 1st baggins of Bag End. Here’s to you creating your own shire!
Such a resourceful man should be the president of Ireland.
I suspect they might take issue with a British ruler... :-)
Been staying in grandpa's old cabin a lot lately. This is so inspiring! Love your videos :)
Does anyone else feel disappointed if we don't get a glimpse of the adorable dog.
Daniel you are so peaceful and contented I can feel the relaxing energy coming my way....
It really shows with all the thought and effort you have put into this project, that you truly care about your animals. Thank you for sharing with us all just how much you care. I loved the kittens, too cute.

You are so good at building stuff. You really need to build yourself a nice shop for all your woodworking projects
Most enjoyable, had a slight moment of panic when I thought you were going to say that you eat them, you seem to be very good at carpentry. love the long hair btw
It would make much more sense if he did.........!
@@andymccabe6712 not to the rabbits it wouldn’t
@@andymccabe6712 defending your own actions and dogging down anyone who disagrees. live and let live mate
speed carpentry - something I never thought I'd find funny (like Benny Hill) but also fascinating to watch
Always a treat to see the notification you've uploaded a new video, and then to see its 40 minutes long! Brilliant stuff mate
Love Love Love the hair

I learnt so much - everything like this should be taught in schools.

That is absolutely the Best Rabbit Tractor I've seen. Nice job.
Looks like a great way to lower my feed bills. Great video.
I love everything about your channel!!
Even the commentary about yourself..
You are very thorough and explain everything to the detail. Love learning from this channel. I am going to have rabbits instead of chickens for the time being.
do you find the rabbits have enough room?
Thoses rabbits need a bigger run where they can excise.
Great video your design will help me alot since my 5 year old has asked for a rabbit since June so I must get cracking. Same design should do for hen's ( a bit bigger)
Highly recommend investment in impact driver for your construction project (readily available in b&d 18v platform) they are very efficient for driving screws ,great job on project
My birthday is nov. 18 I am alone and the winter is my next conquest. Keep making videos. Peace be to you

Yes, they do, in another video he showed the piece of pasture he has sectioned out for them, he switches them between the tractor and the den.
This video couldnt come in a better moment! Thank you! 🥰
This is a nice rabbit tractor for sure!!! very sturdy! Well thought!
Your rabbits are just beautiful. You’re so good to them. Love your creation. What a genius idea!
Wow! Brilliant job. Luxury accommodations for your rabbits!
Having you work outside is very good for me since I don't have a workshop either! It's also nice when you give both metric and avoirdupois. The hints really help, too.
Well made and a very good idea. Thank you and stay healthy and enjoy life.
Great craftsmanship at the Bunny Hotel! Thanks as always for sharing.

thank you for sharing. my husband just made this hutch for our new bunnies. We did do a couple things different but followed your plan.
I too have rabbits and grass that needs cutting. Love the design. I will add that to my homestead to do list.
Hair is getting blond with all this outdoor work!
That's a neat little rabbit coop. Now I only need a large garden. And rabbits 😉
Love the little fluffies...I had 2 pet rabbits for 10+ years as a kid and always enjoyed taking care of them.
Wish, moving to a place where land is cheap, was an option for me...
Great to see you're getting sponsorship. Really enjoy your videos.
So glad you got a sponsor! Very interesting video, love all you do, your animals and their names! Thanks 🙏
The guys at Way Out West vlog made a really lovely hen house tractor
This is really nice. Hope to make one when I have my own house farm soonest next year here in the Philippines. I'd like to have rabbits and chicken too. Thank you for inspiring, Mossy Bottom.
omg--that rabbit family is well, adorable. And the rabbit tractor is a great idea.
You’ve really got a nice looking farm going!! And ❤️ your hair!!
Just what I need for my daughters bunny
What a wonderful video and very tutorial and inspirational to others living off grid. You have a wonderful place and I really enjoy your videos!
You are AMAZING!!! You are the only thing/person keeping me grounded!
Amazing. Loved the build! Moss has his eye on the rabbits.
I've seen chicken tractors and have but off building them as they need to be rather large and just not working for me, tho I have 3 acres much of it is wooded or planned gardens.

You are such an inspiration.... lovely.... I learn so many things from you brother... all love and hugs from India.
I recommend lath screws for attaching wire mesh. You can always remove them easily if you need to replace the wire.
did something similar years ago to keep my mothers lawn cut, worked a treat
Oh, thought you were going to say to keep your mother in law in 😉
You have some awesome designs
Beautiful life, gorgeous land..
Much love and happiness to you
and your farm life.....
And now were going back into full lockdown tonight , i hope it doesnt affect you too much , i doubt it will somehow :)
Nature and animals what more could you need?
Internet, apparently!
You are amazing and I love your attitude towards the animals! You are a fantastic builder very precise! This is a great idea !
Thank you Daniel I'm always waiting for a new video..
You make it look so easy 😊 I'd love to have some chicken, but in a maisonette in the middle of town that's not going to happen, but watching your vlogs is great👍
If you have a garage or a small back patio/balcony you could possibly go with quail, they take very little room…
Wow, very precise work! Bravo!
Fantastic Job , thank you for sharing 👍
Time lapses are always so much fun to watch ! Good job !! : ))
Great video , thanks.
Your mitre saw is a brilliant tool.
Love 💕 this idea, just what I was looking for!!
lovely rabbits ❤️ and great idea with cutting grass, goats are good as well for keeping grass low 😄
You made that quick like a bunny .. loved it.
Irish where hard working
And very talented
You are so amazing
Love and peace from the UK ✌✌✌
Very cool. Love the accent. Love the build.
Great video. I'm curious, with your experience building the cabin and misc diy around your small holding, what have you found are the essential tools to have? Might be a good subject for a video 👍
I love rabbits as pets
Lovely video! You look so much healthier these days. (Living here on the North Irish Coast has improved even my old body!)
Do you have mains now?
(And PLEASE unwind all of the extension lead. Induced current in a wound cable can cause fires!

excellent, well explained construction, love it!
Hi Daniel great to see u posted up again , need more like u at this weird time 🙂 .

Love the summer house too I could quite happily live in one like that with my dog . Keep safe and stay happy ,kiss for Moss ,look fwd to see what else u have to show us 🙂.
Thanks for sharing this. I adore your videos. 💓
A few tools, you have a little workshop going there ;). Looks a great job though, great for chickens on a larger scale as you suggest.
I love your rabbit house 😍😍😍
Looks amazing!
Love all your videos. Curious if the bottom mesh pushes down the grass too much - not giving the rabbits access to all the grass?
