Raising Rabbits on a budget

I like watching "village life" videos because the people living in those places have to use their brains and native materials to achieve their goals. They usually don't have the means to whip out their credit card and order "gear" from Amazon.

Raising rabbits, a pragmatic approach.

The hutches are made from the equivalent of recycled pallet wood and hardware cloth. By modern standards, they are over-crowded. Based on how gnawed the door frames are, he has been doing this for a long time.

They have a tin roof but are beneath an apple tree for shade. 

The water bottles are fill-from-top, repurposed pop bottles. Similar item here but still more expensive than what the owner paid. He does not waste a lot of time as he rakes out the old hay and reloads the feeders and water.

The owner feeds them green-chop, wheat and unshelled corn. Based on what I saw, he was feeding them cut oat-plants when the video was recorded. The greenery he feeds them probably changes through the year based on availability.
