Plans for Building Rabbit Cages


Plans for Building Rabbit Cages: About the comprehensive PDF e-book titled "Ideal DIY Rabbit Cages for All Rabbits." which can be purchased from the Raising-Rabbits Store

This e-book has been saving money and simplifying life for rabbit owners whose hobbies include show rabbits, livestock rabbits, and pet rabbits, ever since we published the first several plans in early 2011. 

In fact, Raising-Rabbits was the first website to create, and publish, a system combining a PVC hutch frame with hanging all-wire cages.

Since then, we have extended our ideas into new designs and uses, as our own rabbit housing needs grew and changed. We have since combined all of our do-it-yourself plans for indoor and outdoor rabbit cages, rabbit hutch frames, rabbit runs and even a rabbit pen, into one comprehensive PDF e-volume:

"Ideal DIY Rabbit Cages for All Rabbits"

"Ideal" they are, in my opinion! These are the cages, hutch frames and rabbit runs employed at Aurora Rex Rabbit Ranch. They serve us well!

"Ideal DIY Rabbit Cages" provides plans, ideas, and well-illustrated directions for over eleven (11) housing methods well-suited to either or both pet and livestock rabbits.

Look closely at the photo at right.

Notice the practicalities of the concept of a hutch frame with removable cages:

  • Very sturdy, long-lasting schedule-40 PVC frame.
  • All-wire cages suspended from a hutch frame. This one is single-tier, but we also created two-tier plans with sloped, easy-draining corrugated drop pans.
  • Incredibly quick and easy to remove the cages, clean the cages and hutch frames, and then reassemble everything.
  • No wood to rot or smell, no trapped manure piled in corners of dark hutches.
  • No massive banks of cages that require many hands to handle.
  • Spend your days enjoying your rabbit hobby rather than scrubbing out filthy hutches or dragging an aching back into the chiropractor's office.
  • The cage and hutch frame combination can be constructed in multiple configurations, suitable for indoors and outside in the barn or shed (they do need to be under a roof).
  • Make as many of them as necessary for your rabbitry.

Additionally, we also include tips and guidance on keeping the rabbit’s environment safe and healthy, whether your rabbits are in cages or in modified colonies.

Plus, we peek into a show rabbit barn so you can see just how carefully a dedicated show rabbit breeder cares for his rabbits’ welfare.
