The current rabbitry


The area is 23 feet by 20 feet.
Has 2 windows and two doors (with screens).
The space is totally insulated with a concrete floor.

All the walls have plastic up but will need to
have washable board added this winter.

looking out the rear door, into the shed area,
where Jeremy kept his Mini Rex.

We have banks of cages on both sides of the
central walkway.

The floor is all concrete but will need a good layer
of sealer in the spring

The rabbitry is cooled and heated by a
portable heatpump. It was very heavy and
very large when it arrived, and was a big
job to get in place but the bunnies all
love it.

We ran on a room air conditioner
and 6 fans till it arrived.

We stopped house construction this late spring to
concentrate on the rabbitry before the heat came.
The roof was a total mess.

The entire roof was replaced over the rabbitry part
of the back of the house.

The door to the mudroom of the house is right off
to the left.

Electric wiring for the bank of 10 florescent
lights is hanging.

What was before. . . . .
This foul mess was cleaned up when we first moved in to
provide a temporary space to house the rabbits. The roof leaked
and the floor was covered in dog or cat feces.

This space was expanded by knocking out walls until
we have an open area that is 23 feet by 20 feet.

It took over 3 gallons of bleach to clean the floors down to the
concrete so Gail would allow her rabbits to live in here.

This room is off to the side in the photo below.
It was where Armstrongs kept their show Hollands.
It was small and dark with only one small window.


The wall to the left was knocked out adding the small
"Holland room" to the total space. The partial wall
on the other side of the "hall" was removed as well
to create one big space.
