On Monday I posted about how we updated our rabbit tractors by installing feeders. You can see a video of our tractors here.
Another change we recently made to the tractors was removing the door to the “house” part of the tractor. We did this because we never closed the door, so it was always tied up. There was never a need to close the door and lock the rabbits in one part of the tractor. Periodically the rabbits would chew through the twine tying up the door, and it would come swinging down. Then we’d have to retie it because the rabbits couldn’t get between the two parts of the rabbit tractor!
Also, sometimes the rabbits would climb on top of the door. That is not a problem in itself, but sometimes the young, skinny rabbits who perched there would discover they could fit through the fencing on the tractor and run free! So there were a few reasons we wanted those doors gone. It was a simple act of unscrewing the hinges to remove the door. Just like that, problem solved!
