I have always found a few things on FreeCycle from time to time. Lately, though, I've been getting some things I really need to help with going off grid and being more self-sufficient.
Last week, I got a rabbit hutch. It's large and heavy, but in good shape. It's big enough to actually house two bunnies. My thought is that it will be good for two does and I can fashion another one for a buck. I'll probably also need a separate hutch for kindling (rabbits giving birth) so the doe who is bred will feel more secure.
As our rabbit population grows, I can either butcher the rabbits for meat or sell them to offset the cost of feed. I'm hoping to be able to expand from 2 does and a buck to 5 or 6 does and a buck. The free hutch gives me a very economical beginning.
