More Rabbitry

Poop slopes lol. It adds to the overall height (which is bad since that means the top cages are hard to get to) but the poop will just roll down into containers that I can empty every so often. What doesn't roll can be squeegee'd. We had the same setup in the garage this past winter, and it worked great except in the garage we couldn't get in behind the cages, so some spots that were hard to get to from the front accumulated too much poop. Since there's three feet of space on each side of these cages in the new rabbitry, we'll have plenty of room.
The pieces of wood inside the cages are for the bunnies to chew on and lay on. They will be replaced periodically.


The wood is covered in two layers of plastic and it's anchored at the ends and the middle (to avoid sagging). It also sticks out 3 inches past all edges of the cages, which will help catch rogue poops so they don't go into the cages below.
I mentioned to Tom that it'd be good to get some lights and plugins in the building, and he bought all the stuff and wired it all in less than a day. I'll take a pic next time I'm out there.
