| The barn was actually designed and built especially for rabbits. The foundation is made out of cement blocks that are 5 blocks deep. The walls are made out of wood and the outside of the barn is painted red. Along the bottom and the top of the walls are screened openings for ventilation. The screens keep out bugs. On the bottom regular 16 gauge wire (used to make cages) keeps out mice, chipmunks and dogs. |
| When building a barn never.... |
| - Use chicken wire because it is flimsy and will hurt a rabbit's paws. Also it will rust easily and any larger animal can rip through it to get at a rabbit. Raccoons can even get to your rabbit through chicken wire. |
| -Leave a rabbit exposed to drafts |
| I will now turn this section over to Kawaii. |
| Hi! My name is Kawaii!� I am a Sable Point Holland Lop buck.� My name means cute in Japanese.� My cage is on the left side of the barn 11th cage from the door.� I have been asked to tell you about my daily routine, things I like and things I dislike.�� |
| My Daily Routine |
| My day really starts around 7:00-8:00am when we are given fresh water and hay.� Once a week, our cages get cleaned.�� Nothing else really happens until around 4:00-5:00pm when�it's supper time, play time�and we are given more fresh water, Doc's Rabbit Enhancer and grain.� |
| Things I Like��� |
| One of my favorite things is when Kaeru-chan comes over and plays with me.� I love attention.� I also like fresh water, being petted, fed and having a clean cage.�� Oh, did I mention that I love attention? |
| Things I Dislike |
| I really do not like extremely hot days, old moldy food, warm stale water, drafts and being startled.� I also do not like to be poked and I really don't like my nose or whiskers touched. |
