Everyone knows about the chicken tracrors....but why not a rabitt one? Can they not be on the ground or is it that maybe they could dig out? I have an inlaw with bunnies on the ground in the yard and they do good

Most likely the rabbit would dig out, especially if it was it's main housing. (Rabbits are underground dwellers in the wild.) Some rabbits dig more than
others so it might take awhile for it to dig out. It would be one happy rabbit though.

they wouldn't be able to dig out if there is a floor in the bottom using
1x2 inch rabbit wire still allows the grass thru an stops digging

I think the use of a tractor could work for day use while you are home to supervise. Just keep the thing moving and bunnies interested in new areas. But at
night secure them in a pemanent residence. Another aspect is to have a very large framed bottom that the tractor could slide over for those times you are not
within visual range to keep an eye out. As mentioned the grass would still be accessible. I personally would build it preditor proof as I do with the birds.
Happy bunnies indeed. Gina |

Yup i agree with wranglerFB
That would work, i know people that use small movable tractors as breeding pens for chickens and they have poultry wire on the bottom so nothing small digs under..however i wouldnt recommend this kind of housing for winter up north here unless it has a inclosed sleeping area attached.. Charlie |
