Rabbit breeding is quite profitable. It does not require special costs and effort, and you can earn quite well. But even if you do not plan to seriously breed rabbits, but just want to keep these cute fluffy at home, you should know that animals need to create acceptable conditions. That is why much attention is paid to the main of these conditions - the place of residence, the cell for rabbits. It, of course, you can buy or order, but much cheaper will do with your own hands - in this case, the cell will be guaranteed to meet all the parameters that you need.
Types of cell designs for rabbits
Previously, it should be found out which cell you need. There are several cell classifications for rabbits. One of them - street and cells for premises. Everything is obvious here: street cells are more warm and durable, resistant to bad weather, they are also more resistant, since there are no restrictions that put the room. Street cells are convenient if you contain a large number of individuals. Home simple and smaller, they do not stop the strength and insulation.
Also cells can be one-, two- I. three set. The easiest way to make a two-piece house for rabbits, so that this type is popular. In addition, cells are distinguished for rabbits, adult rabbits, pregnant females, etc. Main differences - Dimensions and openness: For pregnant rabbits, more "deaf" walls are made.
Necessary materials and tools
Most often cells are made from wood. This material is convenient and in working with it, and in operation, in wooden cells, rabbits are less suffering from heat and cold. Nevertheless, there are also cons - rabbits love to nibble wood, which is explained by the lack of minerals in their diet, as well as the constant growth of the incisors that the rabbit is trying to run. To solve this problem, you should attach tin strips to the protruding wooden parts, and put the branches into the cage, so that the animal sharpens his teeth. For walls and roofs, it is also fat plywood or grid. For frame and supports are used, as a rule, wooden bars.
It should be remembered that ordinary boards or plywood will not fit for the roof if the cell is located on the street. For such a cell, it will be necessary to make a roof from any roofing material - it is important that the rain cannot damage the cage and wet the rabbits.
It is important that all materials be smoothSo that the inhabitants of the cells do not stick the offering and did not hurt. Therefore, it is necessary to process the materials of sandpaper and carefully monitor so that there is no gaps and protruding parts.
In addition, the cells should be seized metal grid or put rack flooring - It will help keep the best sanitary conditions. It is important that the grid cells are not very large, and the rabbit paws could not fail and get stuck in them: this will lead to injuries. The most successful are the dimensions of 16x48 and 18x48, less often - 20x20.
In the tools that you need when assembling the cell, there is nothing supernatural, it is unlikely that it will be necessary to buy something specifically: a hammer and nails, sculpovyurt and screws, selfless, roulette And others will be found in any house.
Will also need to buy loop and fitting For the door device, and, in addition, cordushku and koyka.
Cells for rabbits do it yourself: drawings and sizes
Cell dimensions depend on the number of pets, their age, breed and sizes. For a large rabbit, a cell is needed with parameters 150x70x50 cm, for a rabbit smaller - 90x60x45. The cage for pregnant rabbit should be made about 120x70x60 cm.
If you first make a cell for a rabbit, you should not choose too complex designs and drawings. Remember: even if you use already ready-made drawings, some details will have to do it yourself. Do not forget about the wise saying: "Seven times will die, once a rejection" - It is wiser to mark all the details in the drawing, from the size to the location of the feeders than you think everything is on the go.
Cells for rabbits do it yourself: stages of creation
- First of all choose place for cage. Make sure that it is not open to all winds and drafts: rabbits can be cold.
- Next constructs frame. As a rule, the front part makes a little higher than the rear so that the roof is in the end turned out to be inclined. Frame walls are trimmed by plywood or boards on your choice.
- If you plan to arrange a socket compartment in a cage, make it in it solid floor From wood. If this department is missing, the entire floor is made from fine grid. There is a partition between the departments, in which the Rabbit LAZ is cut. This LAZ should be a diameter of 20 cm. As a rule, it hurts the tin, so that the rabbits do not cage the partition. It is important that there are no gaps at the upholstery, which rabbits may be borrowed.
- Roof hung on the loop to facilitate the cleaning of the cell. It also makes sense to make it alone at all: it is important that you can always easily get to the inner space of the cell for cleaning or helping rabbits if something happened to them all the same way.
- Doors Also hanging on the loop - the most convenient to do their folds to be opened from top to bottom. A wooden door is made to the nest compartment, in the stern - the door of the grid.
It is necessary that the cell is at a distance of 15 cm from the floor, if it is located in the apartment, and 70 cm for street cage. This is done so that rabbits do not bother rodents on the street, and the house requires a gap for the pallet. The pallet is made by inclined to facilitate the cleaning of the cell.
If the cell is located outside, you can do walking for rabbit. As a rule, this is a structure from a grid or boards, connected to the main cell. If you buy a ladder and successfully adjust it, you can give a rabbit the opportunity to sometimes walk on herbal even without supervision of the owner.
