Question
I am begging to breed english angoras indoors am am buying my first pair on the second of march. i was wondering what is required to be a small scale breeder? with no more then ten rabbits. What would be the best indoor cages to use/supplies, how much time daily is needed to keep the cages tidy and semlling ok? what type of beddings do you reccomend?

Answer
hi tara you need a large shed with individual cages with solid bottoms and line each cage with sawdust this way they will use just one area to do there business and it makes it easy to clean out remove the poo daily and once a week clean out each cage throughly.
have plenty of hay on hand so they can eat and build nests and dont overfeed but they must always have water to drink.

you must have somewhere to get rid of all the dirty sawdust etc.
