How you get anything done with all those animals to pet is beyond me. Great video thanks for sharing.
lol
The perfect wind down evening for me....a hot cuppa, a packet of biscuits and Mossy Bottom video...and breath!!
good to hear you got a sponsor!
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! :)
Nice to see you monitising the channel.
One rabbit alone is a phenomenal grass cutter! That's fabulous that they are helping so much. xx
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.
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 :)
Such a resourceful man should be the president of Ireland.
I suspect they might take issue with a British ruler... :-)
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 .
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.
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.
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
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. 😊
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. :)
Been staying in grandpa's old cabin a lot lately. This is so inspiring! Love your videos :)
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.
Your first sponsored video, well done. I love your rabbits.
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)
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! :)
Daniel you are so peaceful and contented I can feel the relaxing energy coming my way....
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
Love Love Love the hair
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!
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.
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..
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.
You’re the 1st baggins of Bag End. Here’s to you creating your own shire!
do you find the rabbits have enough room?
Thoses rabbits need a bigger run where they can excise.
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!
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.
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.
That was brilliant!
I learnt so much - everything like this should be taught in schools.
Best wishes

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!
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!
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!
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 !
speed carpentry - something I never thought I'd find funny (like Benny Hill) but also fascinating to watch
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 😉
Nature and animals what more could you need?
Internet, apparently!
I recommend lath screws for attaching wire mesh. You can always remove them easily if you need to replace the wire.
Always a treat to see the notification you've uploaded a new video, and then to see its 40 minutes long! Brilliant stuff mate
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

The guys at Way Out West vlog made a really lovely hen house tractor
Hair: Still long, more beautiful than ever.
Paid promotion: A good fit, interesting, and unobtrusive.
Bunnies: Always wonderful.
Great video!
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.
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.
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.
Just what I need for my daughters bunny
My birthday is nov. 18 I am alone and the winter is my next conquest. Keep making videos. Peace be to you
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.
I too have rabbits and grass that needs cutting. Love the design. I will add that to my homestead to do list.
Well made and a very good idea. Thank you and stay healthy and enjoy life.
And now were going back into full lockdown tonight , i hope it doesnt affect you too much , i doubt it will somehow :)
AAAAAAGHHHH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
This is a nice rabbit tractor for sure!!! very sturdy! Well thought!
Great craftsmanship at the Bunny Hotel! Thanks as always for sharing.
Wow! Brilliant job. Luxury accommodations for your rabbits!
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.
You have some awesome designs
Does anyone else feel disappointed if we don't get a glimpse of the adorable dog.
That is absolutely the Best Rabbit Tractor I've seen. Nice job.
This video couldnt come in a better moment! Thank you! 🥰
Beautiful life, gorgeous land..
Much love and happiness to you
and your farm life.....
I am going to try making one too for my rabbits.
Love and peace from the UK ✌✌✌
Fantastic Job , thank you for sharing 👍
I like this design.
Gunna use this for meat rabbits thanks so much!
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.
Looks amazing!
You’ve really got a nice looking farm going!! And ❤️ your hair!!
Thank you Daniel I'm always waiting for a new video..
Your rabbits are just beautiful. You’re so good to them. Love your creation. What a genius idea!
excellent idea and carpentry skills!
You are such an inspiration.... lovely.... I learn so many things from you brother... all love and hugs from India.
Wow, very precise work! Bravo!
Thanks for this great video. all is ok no. New content for a while but I guess you are just living life … 😊
Great video! I hope to one day see Ireland!
I tried all the links to see more details on materials and dementions but could not find them. I have 5 of these i need to make asap!
Very cool. Love the accent. Love the build.
This design would be better in metal, with some wood but not much, im in the tropics, i was looking for a rabbit tractor design for rainy areas
Fantastic, thank you! My friends recommended your channel. Just one observation- should you not wear ear protection when using the chop saw? I had to turn the volume down because I hate its noise, I always protect my ears when using power tools...
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...
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!
I love your rabbit house 😍😍😍
What a great idea! I just wish it'd be a bit bigger as they don't have too much space togrun and play. Also be careful with their little feet when moving the hutch. But love the design!
Soo..he's been doing this for several years - and you're telling him to be careful with their 'little feet'.....?!
Why does this happen so often on RUclips.....?!!!
It's cos they're cute and fluffy isn't it?!
Bet you wouldn't say a word if it was a cage of rats!!!
Emotions over riding his obvious experience!
@@andymccabe6712 regardless of he's been doing this for years, anyone whose kept rabbits know that wire under feet is a valid concern as they are accident prone. Out of safety I'd move the cage when they are all in the hutch. And they need pace to hop around for wellbeing. Im a big fan and not criticizing if you'd notice, just saying I wish it would be a bit nicer for the animals. Rats and all other animals have the same rights to good quality of life by the way, and most of them are indeed not kept properly.
@@andymccabe6712 there's generally accepted UK rabbit care standards and this doesn't meet them. There's also accepted rat care standards since you're concerned about them too. I don't know why you assume every animal care comment is comes from a place of ignorance rather than knowledge of the animal and concern for their welfare?
There are very conflicting opinions on the size of enclosures. What I've observed keeping rabbits is they love fresh grass, and this type of enclosure makes it possible to move them daily. A larger enclosure kept on the same patch for days or weeks on end (as is often the case) is in my view far worse for their welfare. My rabbits are moved on to fresh grass daily. They show no signs of physical or mental health issues. I keep them in family groups (the only exception is when a mother is with young). Many people also keep rabbits indoors, either in cages or as house pets - which in my view is terribly cruel, as they should be spending the majority of their time under the sun nibbling on fresh grass. That is my priority when it comes to welfare.
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…
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!
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 😢)
Do you have written plans for this tractor? I love the idea but want to build a slightly bigger one as a grow our hutch.
Love all your videos. Curious if the bottom mesh pushes down the grass too much - not giving the rabbits access to all the grass?
Great video , thanks.
Your mitre saw is a brilliant tool.
good design
Great to see you're getting sponsorship. Really enjoy your videos.
love it !!!!
Your beard and hair right now remind me of a young Errol Flynn!
Adorable 🥰
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 👍
So glad you got a sponsor! Very interesting video, love all you do, your animals and their names! Thanks 🙏
