Question
I am going to become breeder and I need to  double check that these cage are ok. For my female I have selected this. http://www.rabbitcentral.com/wa-01550.html and for my male this http://www.waremfginc.com/products.asp?p=01508 I only intend to be a small time breeder. Each rabbit will have a cage depending on sex. Smaller for male larger for female. They won't get more than 3lbs. I just want to make sure this will be enough room. I already have matting to cover up all the wiring floor exept for the coners. I seems to work for my cage at the moment. Thankyou for you time,
Michelle


Answer
hi michelle the only thing i dont like is a wire bottom try and get one with a wooden floor and the put sawdust or hay and straw on it , this way its easy to clean out.
remember also dont breed unless yoy have an outlet for the babies,remember they can have upto ten babies at a time and you will need lots of room then as they have to stop with the doe for 6 weeks.
