The financial world we live in is just as wild, if not more, than the mountains and woods we walk through. We are told that the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but we can feel that something is wrong. My unique financial background and survival passion make Financial Survivalist and excellent place to learn and share.

Building Rabbit Hutches

I recently accepted the challenge to build rabbit hutches from scratch. It was an adventure that you can watch below. I learned a lot, but would do a few things different next time.

The biggest mistake I made was my hardwarecloth was too thin. I used a smaller guage (thickness of wire) than needed.This makes the cages seem flimsey and when the rabbits walk on it, the floor bends and bows. If I had to do it again that would be the biggest change.

The second change is that I would use something called "J" clips instead of hog rings. The hog rings should work fine, but the "J" clips would have kept the seams tighter protecting the rabbits from sharp edges.

Other than that, they turned out pretty well. It was a good learning experience, and now I have my first rabbits.
