ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
This is a how to build our kindling totes. I didn't mention the top, I use plywood, 1" insulation, another sheet of plywood and corrugated plastic for the cover.
This 30 gallon tote size is a result of running field tests on our New Zealand's. We set up 18 gallon and 30 gallon totes and after a few years running we replaced all totes with 30 gallon.
This video is the last tote getting replaced.
Note- After 10-14 days you'll want to place all the kits in a grow out cage with momma(this prevents them from escaping the run).
Be sure check the tile for an adventurous kit that may have ventured out into the run.

I love the idea of these kindling boxes, but do you have any sort of suggestion on how to do this concept in a much smaller yard? We have a much smaller space to work with.

@SLFYSH 3 года назад

It seems your design is well thought out, and more labor intensive than many I've seen closer to thr cage. This considered, can you explain the tangible benefits of this separate kiddling area with 6" pipe snd everything?

@TheRabbitryCenter 3 года назад

You bet. I added the second tote to see if it would provide any benefits and over time I have learned that it does serve two main purposes. It keeps mom from trampling any kits going in and out of the tote. Secondly, it provides momma a safe place to put her litter and she can retire back to the tote at the bottom of the ramp in peace without a litter of restless kits hopping around and attempting to find a teat to latch on to. On Hot days, cold days and even mosquito days it's sometimes tough for momma to hang out in the tote at the bottom of the ramp and not be constantly harassed by hungry baby bunnies. So this provides her a private peaceful area. This is what most rabbits need in order to be comfortable. Quiet and peaceful and private.

@r0902716 4 года назад

I just found your channel! Thank you for your videos! I noticed in another video that you had "Tiles" at both ends of the tote. Do you have a video that shows your layout for the cages, ramps, runs and totes? I am getting bits and pieces from several videos, but not a clear understanding of your setup. Thanks again!

@TheRabbitryCenter 4 года назад

Welcome to our channel. Thank you for watching. -tiles at both ends- That's the cooling tote which is our first design but after our does kept kindling in the middle of the tote it made it possible that the litter could get trampled from mama coming down the ramp, through the tote and out to the run. Only after sitting out there and watching I thought we should put another tote out in the run so they can enter, nurse and leave out the way they came in. This works better and they took to it immediately. Only after witnessing this over and over, I can can say it looks as though it's tapping into their natural instincts. Mama rabbits only visits for a few minutes a couple times a day nursing and then leaving but not before burying the entrance to the tote. This way she doesn't draw any attention to her litter. Most of the day she'll lounge in her cage or in her cooling tote. BUILT IN THIS ORDER CAGE- RAMP- COOLING TOTE-RUN-KINDLING TOTE

well congrats on the first litter. the lids have 1" insulation sandwiched between two pieces of wood. I've used 1/2" plywood , osb and shed siding it all works.

@pelimo 5 лет назад

Bobby, thanks for the wealth of knowledge you've been sharing so us noobs don't make the same mistakes. Have you considered compiling your short videos into one series? About the kindling totes: Do does about to kindle go from their hutches to the totes on their own? Do you have to train them to use the totes? At feeding time do they go back up the ramp to the hutch to eat and then back to the totes? I'm just wondering how a doe knows to go to and from the tote before and after kindling. Also how do you keep other does from entering another doe's tote when they're all in the rabbit run? Or do you keep them completely separate from each other at all times?

@TheRabbitryCenter 5 лет назад

When the does are ready to kindle they make their way down the ramp and kindle in the totes with no training at all. They go up and down their ramps and into their totes through out the day eating and drinking when they feel the urge. Soon after snacking they either nap in their cage or in many cases retire to there totes. Its as if they naturally want too explore the tote. After a few hours of introducing a new rabbit to our tote system the rabbits curiosity has gotten the best of them and they've made their way into the tote to investigate. Every rabbit has their own cage and run area.

@sajoyner1 3 года назад

I love the tote I built! And I am so thankful you shared it! I have condensation in mine with the litter. Do you have suggestions?

@TheRabbitryCenter 3 года назад

We get sweating in April when there’s a big temperature change from morning to afternoon You can fix this by drilling very small holes on the upper sides of the totes for cross ventilation this will take care of the humidity in the tote Once the weather changes and the sweating stops you can fill the holes with silicone or duct tape

@sajoyner1 3 года назад

@@TheRabbitryCenter Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am in love with these totes! That is exactly what I did, I drilled very small holes in them. I think since we live in Florida we will have more severe humidity problems and most likely have to leave the holes in all year. Which is fine.

Do you use the DE to cut down on ants, fleas, and the such? I use DE around cat clowders to keep the ants away and help reduce the fleas.

@cqammaz53 4 года назад

You are in Michigan which is colder then what we get in Pa. I was told by someone at Home Depot that the ground freezes 36" depth I can you tote keep your rabbits warm in the wintertime if they are partly above the ground?

@TheRabbitryCenter 4 года назад

That's a good question. When it comes to a 4x4 buried in the ground. The dirt will freeze and stay frozen. Our kindling totes have some dirt insulating it but in most cases it's not even 36" deep. The rabbits body just like our bodies radiate heat. This heat warms the tote and the surrounding dirt and chips and straw all work together to keep the heat much like a jacket. This creates a much safer environment than an exposed nesting box. When I pop the top to inspect a litter it's surprising to feel the heat surrounding the litter. It's like a heater running. This is how kits survive. Much like penguins in the Arctic. Insulating and heating themselves. Hope that helps.

@MrCard031584 2 года назад

Does the 6" pipe work ok for larger meet rabbits? I made a 6" square tunnel from plywood about 2' long. They definitely like the one with an 8" square tunnel better. But I just put them out about 2 hours ago.

I’m In North Texas so we don’t have near the extremes of winter as you. We do have extreme heat in the summer… I have some plastic ice chests (that we have replaced with soft-sided ice chests) & am thinking of using them for kindling boxes (outside of the cage)… what do you think of this possibility? I realize that I will have some excess humidity to deal with so I’m going into at least that part with my eyes open. Thoughts? Thanks for your instruction!

insulation will help them stay cool much like a basement rain water and humidity will be something to look out for. Here’s a video that shares our solution ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rqnxwkE-AY8.htmlfeature=shared

Big rabbits have a hard time when they're close to kindling but you'd have to give it a try. The incline has been too steep in some cases and I've had to make an adjustment.

@TheRabbitryCenter 11 месяцев назад

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J6BdE80fNvo.html Simply pop the top and wipe out with a paper towel if there's a urine some low to know older disinfectant, replace shavings in a little straw . Our runs have a top with hinges so we can open them just like a door, but in most cases our runs don't need to be cleaned but from time to time we may need to patch a hole to prevent digging out. You can always put 2" x 4" cage wire on the bottom of your run to prevent this.

@cherylstorm6261 5 лет назад

I can get 8 inch tile locally would that be too big? Also can you give the dimensions for the tote that worked best? I've got a doe due in early Feb in northern MN so will be building one for her. She is a big girl, German angora. Thank you for sharing your idea.

@TheRabbitryCenter 5 лет назад

Hey Cheryl, I couldn't tell you for sure I've never tried 8" tile. I'd give it a whirl just be sure to point(if possible) the tote entrance down wind. Your area has a prevailing wind. In Bath, Michigan its West winds normally. So I point them East so cold wind doesn't blow in the tile entryway. Also, from time to time a doe may bury the entrance to the tote. In nature all nests are buried to keep the smell down and keep the kits protected from predators. So an 8" tile might be tougher to protect and keep your kits from using it or kindling in it. But then again it may work just fine. Dimensions: I use 30 Gallon Totes. The dimensions are all a little different but its important to go with a rectangle shape not square. You want your Momma Doe to be able to kindle her litter in the back of the Tote. I hope this helps and good luck with your Rabbitry.

@cherylstorm6261 5 лет назад

@@TheRabbitryCenter yes very helpful thank you. I face my shelter doors east here and most times that works. Thank you for mentioning it.

@dylanb9277 2 года назад

How often do you find you need to clean the kindling tote? We were under the impression that wire bottom nest boxes helped mitigate standing urine by allowing it to drain. Is the lid being sealed like that without much ventilation a safe idea regarding rabbits health? Secondarily, have you ever noticed any rabbits (especially babies) chewing on the insulation/foam? Most of our rabbits have definitely been heavy chewers, even when provided with plenty of hay/twigs/etc. Thanks for all the great videos, respect from Canada!

@TheRabbitryCenter 2 года назад

Nesting boxes always have urine and teeny tiny bunny berries from the litter Screen bottoms are always good to have The totes are a little different - the sealed bottom works as a barrier from snow/water and helps keep the rabbits and litters dry. It’s important to swap out old straw and shavings with fresh shavings and straw on day 28 to 29 of gestation to keep bacteria levels at the minimum Bucks get their totes cleaned every 2-3 months. Once in a while a rabbit that’s unfamiliar with the tote will use it as a litter box -they will grow out of this in time.

DE(diatomaceous earth)helps prevent insect infestation in and around your rabbits or any and all farm animals. I put D E in my cooling totes, my kindling totes in my rabbit runs and in my chicken coop. When ants are getting into my bee hives I sprinkle some DE around the trail and it stops in minutes. D E removes the protective coating that insects need on their shells which will kill the flea, tick, or ant.

@TheRabbitryCenter 4 года назад

I'm happy to hear you made one. Absolutely, Mother rabbits will leave their nest alone so they don't draw attention to it. They'll only nurse their litter for a few minutes a couple times a day. Mama's cover the entrance to the nest to hide it and cover the odor from predators. The kits will have more than enough oxygen to survive and grow. They'll just burrow and cluster to stay warm for about two weeks and then they'll start to venture out to explore.

Do you worry about the babies eating the insulation? Mine chew on everything.

@TheRabbitryCenter 5 лет назад

The babies are only in the totes for 10 days then you'll want to collect them and take them to the grow out cage. They don't even really break cluster until 10 days. Momma will bury the opening of the tile so nothing can get in or out. Just like a wild rabbit buries their nest to avoid predators. Several different bucks and does have used our cooling/Kindling totes. Some rabbits will chew away the outer layer but they won't eat it. The insulation on the exterior of the tote will keep the tote sealed. Some rabbits don't even touch it. So far, Iv'e never had to reseal a tote due to the great stuff falling out or missing. Most importantly the rabbits stay healthy and no losses.

cool, but I wouldnt do the insulative foam. That stuff produces VOC's, if I dont want to breath its offgassing, I wont make my rabbits.

The only thing I see that you might want to do is make vent holes for easier breathing in the tote!

@TheRabbitryCenter 3 года назад

Here’s a video showing how I did that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XsugHQxiGRA.html Thanks for watching!

I feel like u should have drilled tiny holes on the bottom for drainage of pee so it prevents it from smelling

@TheRabbitryCenter 4 года назад

I've had someone say they tried that. They haven't got back with me and told me the results yet. Check this video out if you haven't already. It's about the totes, and the litter box issue. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CZXYG0gPTZk.html

@TheRabbitryCenter 4 года назад

If you build one and drill holes, please get back with me. I'll share the results and of course I'll be sure to mention courtesy of Tonia Castro.

The Rabbitry Center I’m Getting our rabbits this weekend I think the hubby said he was just gonna build wooden boxes we get free lumber from his mill but I’ll get a plastic one vs his wooden one and see how that does an let u know lol

@TheRabbitryCenter 4 года назад

@@Tonia.lynn2411 It's nice to have a builder and a mill. The wood would most likely soak up a lot of odor and bacteria versus the tote. You got the right idea. Good luck on your build.
