Rabbit Hutch Update

Completed Hutch with happy rabbits


The Rabbit Hutch is finally completed.  Well, at least for summer.  It took several trips to the hardware store to complete the watering system but, it was well worth it.   I have the learned that the more you can do to "automate" or minimize activities required to care for plants/animals the easier raising them becomes in the long run.  It is basically like the photo of one that I found on the Internet but, I added a thermometer and a solar powered motion detected spot light.  Since a constant temperature of 50 degree is required for breeding New Zealand rabbits, it is good to know the temperature.  The light helps me when checking on the rabbits at night.  Plus is may be a deterrent for curious critters.  The next step is to finish naming the rest of them.
