DIY Rabbit Run: Choosing Between Chicken Wire and ...

It is an engaging project that offers numerous benefits for your pet rabbits when you build a DIY rabbit run. For rabbits&#; physical and mental well-being, rabbit runs provide a safe, enclosed outdoor space where they can exercise, play, and indulge their natural instincts.

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

Choosing the right material for the run is crucial. To keep your rabbits safe, it must be durable enough to withstand various weather conditions and predators. In addition, the material should be safe for rabbits, without sharp edges or toxic substances, so that they can enjoy their space without risk of injury.

Using chicken wire and welded mesh, this article will walk you through the process of creating the perfect rabbit run.

chicken wire vs welded wire?



The price of welded wire is really making my husband want to use chicken wire.

The coop design we are leaning toward is this one:



I'm going to bury a welded wire bottom for protection but without the chickens having to stand on it. The day tractor is going to have an open bottom.

The chickens will theoretically be safe inside the coop at night. I think the day time predators to consider here in Portland OR are cats and hawks and maybe crows (?). At night we've got racoons, possums, rats.

I was planning to drape bird netting over the day tractor for extra protection.

So...given all this, can I use chicken wire or should I invest in welded wire?

Thanks for any advice! Anyone from Portland who knows of other predators, I would love to know that too!

Total newbie here!!! We're designing our coop right now. I have three 1 week-old chicks. We have already built the frame of a day tractor that (we hope) can either be moved around or docked up to the run on the coop to give some extra run space.The price of welded wire is really making my husband want to use chicken wire.The coop design we are leaning toward is this one:I'm going to bury a welded wire bottom for protection but without the chickens having to stand on it.
