bunny cages


We finally got some of the rabbit hutches finished, and they seem to be working well! It's been fun that Chiro, a 16-year-old, who isn't in the club, but loves to build, comes over most afternoons to work on the hutches.
In this photo Sara is shown with her bunnies and a neighbor kid's bunny that is also living in her hutch. We decided in the end to ask each student to put their own roof on their cage, using what they can find, so that they have to contribute something to their cage. Sara had some tin at home and found bottle caps to put under the nails on the roof to seal the nails, because we didn't have roofing nails.

Huh. Bottle caps! I bet that would work pretty well to seal up the nails. That's a good idea having the kids contribute something to building the hutches. It looks like the project is working out well. Have you hinted to the kids yet that you're going to have to eat the bunnies one day?
