Fit from tin rabbit with their own hands. Bunker feeder from galvania

Feeders for rabbits must be present in each cell. Such a solution will help animals feel as comfortable as possible and safely. In the cell it will be easier to maintain purity, and feed will not be scattered through the cage, turning into the trash, which will reduce the costs of the content of rabbits.

Under each type of feed should approach a certain container. If the farmer has already decided on the nutrition of rabbits and is not going to change its decision, then it will take a certain kind of feeder. It is desirable that there are other types of feeders in the reserve. It is possible that at some point the animals will need to be filtered by another type of feed or change their diet for the reasons associated with health.

Types of feed for rabbits:

1. Combined feed.
2. Mixtures of various types of grain.
3. Roots and tops.
4. Hay.
5. Mixtures of different herbs.

For grass and the hay will suit the so-called nursery. Visually, they look like a wicker made of metal rods a basket that is attached to the cage. Such simple design will serve for a long time and do not need to be repaired. Rabbits are convenient to eat from it, at the same time it can do several individuals. Nursery needs to be regularly replenished, as the hay laid in it is eaten.

Ceramic dishes for the rabbit is presented on the market with several manufacturers as aesthetic and universal packaging. It can pour water, pour food, root and even grass. The problem is that such bowls are not attached to anything and often turn over, pouring content to the floor. This worsens the hygiene in the rabbit and creates extra spending on the feed.

Important. Golden structures are very comfortable for both animals and farmers. They are easy to manufacture, so they often make them at home with their own hands. From such a feeder will be able to take several rabbits to feed. As feed in the feeder will end, the new portion will drive automatically. Groove feeders are suitable for bulk feed, rootfloods, various grain mixtures.

The bunker feeder for today is the most popular among farmers and livestock breeders. It is quite spacious, the feed is replenished automatically, it is not necessary to clean it often and at the same time use several rabbits simultaneously. This container is suitable for granular and bulk feed.

Important requirements for feeders

Before choosing a specific type of feeder, you need to understand what characteristics it must have. Primary requirements:

Materials that can be used in the manufacture of feeders:

• plywood;
• boards;
• bruks of wood;
• metal pipes;
• metallic profile;
• thin iron.

Designs made of high-quality metal will last longer. They are not amenable to rotting like wooden. In metal structures, various microorganisms are harvested, capable of causing animals. But behind wooden feeders need careful care and regular treatment of wood with special means.

Sennik do it's hands

The nasal feeder, which is often called the Senner, must be attended in the rabbit and are located near the door. The Sennik daily needs to be cleansing and filling with fresh hay or grass, so it is hanging in such a way as to spend on her notch as little time as possible. It will be a mistake to hang nursery on the cell door. Young individuals can climb directly into the feeder and eat hay sitting in her. If you open the door at this time, then the rabbit falls on the street and can escape. The best solution will be hung up the man near the door, at a distance of an elongated hand from the open door.

In order to independently make the deck, you need to prepare the following materials and tools:

• metal grid;
• sheets of fine metal;
• screws;
• screwdriver;
• wooden boards;
• plywood;
• hacksaw and electric jigsaw;
• rule and felt-tip pen.

Table 1. Step-by-step manual manufacturer

STEP, N.	Description	Photo
1	Starting work follows from measurements. The feeder will be attached to the side of the grid, which is located near the door. You should measure the sizes of the feeding bag, which will fit in the selected place and will be convenient for rabbits.
2	Transfer the design of the design on paper to visually assess all the advantages of your project and reveal the shortcomings imperceptible at first glance. Drawings try to make natural size. The rear wall of the feeder should have a strictly rectangular shape, and the side sides must be narrowed to the bottom and remind the wrong triangle. This design is most convenient for animals.
3	Making sure that all drawings are true, you can proceed to the process of imposing drawings on a plywood sheet. With the help of a marker and a ruler, as well as patterns cut from cardboard, draw all the details on the plywood, and then carefully cut them out with the jigsaw.
4	Make sure that there are no sharp corners or sticking screws on the feeder.
5	Creare together all the parts of the feeder will be conveniently using a screwdriver.
6	An important point of creating a design will be the selection of fastening of the feeder to the mesh wall. Mounts should be reliable, safe for animals, convenient to use.

Groove feeder do it yourself

Groove structures are very simple in the manufacture. Sometimes it is easier to make them alone than order from the manufacturer or go to search for a suitable feeder to the market. Groove feeders are convenient because they are universal. In such a container, you can pour water, pour porridge and root.

Option 1

You will need:

• sewer tube with a diameter of 110 mm;
• electrolovik;
• metal wire for fastening feeders to the grid;
• pipe plugs.

Using the jigsaw, cut neat, smooth, without jar oval holes in a pipe with an equal distance from each other. Install a reliable fastening for a pipe on the back of it and fix on the mesh side of the rabbit. Install the plugs on each side of the pipe so that young rabbits do not try to climb and not stuck in the pipe. The feeder is ready for operation.

Option 2.

You can build a trough from wooden thick boards. To do this, you will need:

• wooden boards;
• screws;
• screwdriver;
• metal grid;
• sandpaper.

The essence is to lean the trough of the appropriate size. You need to start with frozen spaces in the rabbit, where the feeder will be installed. After that, you should find suitable on the size of the board and with the help of a screwdriver to build a simple design. In order to protect feed from scattering and from getting into it garbage and rabbits themselves, the feeder should be covered with a metal grid. Such a mesh is suitable, through the rods of which rabbits without difficulty can take food, but they will not get to penetrate into the feeder.

Option 3.

The easiest way to make a feeder for rabbits is to take a plastic bottle and cut the hole of the suitable diameter in it. You can complicate the design if you take two bottles, a volume of 5 liters. In one of the bottles, cut the hole, convenient for the rabbits to take food from it. The second hole, from the other end of the bottle, cut the diameter suitable under the neck of the second bottle. In the second bottle, pour bulk feed and paste it into the first bottle. Thus, the feed will be added to the feeder on its own and long will not require your intervention.

Excellence of bunker feeders

Farmers who want to keep up with the times are preferred by bunker capacities. This option is the most perfect and convenient to use, both for animals and for the farmer itself. In such a feeder, you can put a grain, granulated, any bulk feed and it will come to rabbits in a portion. Do not have to spend time to fill the feeder daily. Food for rabbits falls asleep in the bunker and from it automatically enters the capacity convenient for rabbits.

Important. Many firms engaged in the production of equipment for farmers and livestock breeders are ready to offer their products wholesale and retail. The market presents various models of bunker feeders, choose from which it is possible by the convenience of construction, quality of manufacture, used materials, color, form and other parameters.

It is also not difficult to make such a feeder with your own hands. If a large-size tin can in your farm, you can take it as a source material and work on it as follows:

Galvanized iron bunker

To make a galvanized iron feeder, you will need:

With the help of roulette, you need to make all the necessary measurements. On dense cardboard, draw all elements of the design in full. It will be more convenient if the fragments of the design cut from cardboard, apply to metal sheets, circle using a marker and then cut out with scissors for metal. Taking advantage of the rim and hammer, you need to bend the metal sheets in the estimated sections of the fold, thereby making the corners for the feeder. All parts of the design are connected using a rivet.

Experience of Zolotukhina

Nikolay Zolukhin devoted his whole life to farms. In his farming, an enviable number of rabbits was found, for whom he himself personally developed a feeder option. Many modern farmers use the Golothina method. To make the feeder of the goldhina, you need:

• the side walls are cut from a thick board;
• part of the feeder from which the rabbits will take food, is made of metal (so that the animals do not bother);
• the fourth side of the feeder is absent, since instead there is a fully closed wall of the rabbit, to which the construct is screwed down;
• so that rabbits do not penetrate the feed and have not scattered it, the design is covered with a metal grid on top;
• all parts of the feeders are connected using a screwdriver.

Important. To remove the feeder at any time, it is attached to the wall of the door using hooks or other fasteners, but do not screw the screwdriver.

MacLakov experience

Another farmer succeeded in his business, Evgeny McLakov, developed a design for feeding rabbits, which is characterized by a lot of capacity. In such a trough you can immediately load up to fifteen kilograms of feed. It is designed for one-time use at once with several ears. For its manufacture you will need:

• plywood sheets 5 mm thick;
• furniture loops;
• metal grid size 45 by 25 cm.;
• self-tapping screw;
• metal furniture corners.

The frame of the hopper and feeders is made of plywood. Metal corners are attached to that part of the feeder, from which rabbits get food. This is done so that with food animals do not creep the feeder. The design is obtained with two feeding tanks and a large bunker part. If you wish, you can integrate nickel drinkers in the feeder. From this design only will win.

It is always better to make a feeder with your own hands. In this case, it is definitely suitable for the sizes of the cell and will be manufactured taking into account your personal ideas about convenience.

Important. Take care that the rabbits do not penetrate the feeder and have not scattered the feed on the floor of the cage. Choosing a grid in order to cover the feeder from above, consider its size and size in it in it in such a way that the rabbit can not push his head or get confused in it.

Any suitable feeder can be built in a few hours from simple and affordable materials, which can always be found in any farm. If you follow all the recommendations, carefully read the instructions and take into account the features of your rabbit, then such a container will serve for a long time without unnecessary trouble and costs. A good farmer always thinks of material benefit, but never forgets about the competent and comfortable for all farm inhabitants to arrange their farm.

For growing rabbits, you need to create the necessary conditions. Rabbites prefer to use bunker feeders. This design allows not only to save time, but also helps to maintain the correct power of rabbits.

Device and advantages of bunker feeders

Bunker for rabbits is a box. Three walls are vertically, and the front - at an angle, so that it is convenient to fall asleep food and easily clean this design. To protect animals from atmospheric precipitation, mice and birds, there is a trump card on top of the box. At the bottom of the bunker there is a slit through which the feed falls straight into the tray. At the bottom there is a dust collector in the form of a mesh or homemade sieve, which is designed to collect flour dust. In addition, the grid prevents the appearance of condensate at the bottom of the structure.

General view of the design of empty and filled

The bunker feeder may be several types:

• With transverse partitions.
• Combined.
• Round.

The principle of operation of the construction: As the feed and emptying of the trays eating, the food itself comes from the bunker in the tray. At the same time, feed is laid on several food techniques. As a result, the farmer will have more time, and rabbits will have constant access to the stern. Mostly bunker feeders are used to supply bulk and granular feed.

For rabbits do not bother food, a plank is put on the edge of the tray. When building a wooden bunker, all parts are connected using self-tapping screws or nails. Parts of metal construction solder.

The main advantages of using bunker feeders:

• Time saving;
• Farm relief;
• Free access to feed;
• Automatic screening of dust from feed;
• Fastening at any convenient location.

Selection of material

Constructions for rabbits should be simple and easy to operate, with minimal cost. Most often farmers make feeders for breeding rabbits from girlfriend.

In the manufacture of feeders use:

• Metal profiles;
• Boards;
• Slate;
• Plastic.

From the auxiliary materials choose glass, wire or rod.

The bunker feeder is usually made of wood or metal. More durable and durable is a metal design, but wooden feeders are more environmentally friendly.

Tip! Rabbits are able to spray the tree during the point of the teeth. If a tree is used for the base, then all the protruding parts are recommended to close with metal plates.

The design of plastic is not recommended to use, since due to low strength, the likelihood that animals break the feeder will be taken. In addition, plastic structures may be exposed at high temperatures and crack at low.

Slate is usually used to make a nursery. In the feeder of the bunker type, this material is used when equipped with side and rear walls. All the pointed edges and jar should be smoothed so that homemade rabbits damage their skin.

Tools for work

Deciding with the choice of material for the design, you should prepare the necessary tools. When building a metal feeding, you will need:

• A hammer;
• Drill;
• Drill;
• Pliers;
• Scissors for metal;
• Tin sheet;
• Metal grid.

For the bunker base, a tin leaf of 195 × 265 mm in size will be used, for the front wall - the size of 185 × 135 mm. Metal grid should be purchased in size 155 × 290 mm.
The table shows the main parameters of the parts and their number that will be needed to create a wooden bunker feeder:

For the manufacture of wooden bunker feeders, screw screws 35 mm and 25 mm for 6 pieces, bolts with nuts by 6 mm. As the basis of the design, you can take a paneur or chipboard plate. A tin sheet is used as partitions. The front wall can be made of plastic. So you can control the filling of the feeders.

Phased instruction on the construction of wooden feeders

Special skills and knowledge of the manufacture of feeders are not required. Even a beginner rabbit can make a design with their own hands. First you need to prepare tools, materials and produce correct calculations. To facilitate work, it is desirable to study the drawings and schemes.

Wooden feeder diagram for rabbits

The main stages of the manufacture of bunker feeders type:

1. First you need to fasten all attachments to the side parts. Vertical crossbar to attach, pre-retreating 0.5 cm from the edge, so that the rear wall comes into contact with the entire rear surface.

   Side of the feeder

2. Connect the sidewalls together and transverse parts.
3. Next, horizontal crossings are combined with self-draws and the resulting design to attach to the sides.

   Compound of horizontal and vertical cross

4. Then, try on the back of the square and triangular cross section to the sidewalls and outline the place of attachment. And the bottom of the rear must be 30 cm below the top. The sidewalls will be connected to the rear wall.
5. Next, two identical details of the bottom to collect together and secure planks down on the trough.

   Fastening details on the bottom

6. Bar-jumper attach the sidewalls to the straps. The distance from the top is 30 cm. It will be attached to the sieve and the front wall of the structure.
7. Take a perforated tin or sieve and secure in the right place.
8. We make partitions. To do this, in the horizontal crossbar, cut the grooves and insert tin partitions.
9. To secure the tray partition, you need to install an internal insert. It should be located from the grid at a distance of at least 1.5-2 cm. After that, fasten the back, and then the front wall of the structure.

   Rear wall feeder in assembled

10. At the final stage, from the remaining details, collect the roof and hang on the hopper with the help of loops.

Bunker feeder for rabbits is ready. It is necessary to explore the entire design for sharp edges or protruding self-tapping screws. If there are such places, we eliminate the shortcomings in order not to injury rabbits.

Bulk feed as an animal eating is shrinking from the bunker to the feeder

How to make metallic

For the construction of a gilvanized iron feeder should be made. The metal structure consists of a pallet, the rear wall with curved side parts and the front wall. There will also be two limiters here.

How to make a feeder for rabbits

If you decide to grow rabbits, then there should be all the conditions for their content and care, one of the tasks that you have before you are to equip your farm with animal feeders. These devices help us not to waste your energy and time to ensure the competent nutrition of rabbits.

In this case, we faces the question of which they should be and how to make feeders for purebred rabbits practical and most convenient as possible.

Before starting the manufacture of feeders with your own hands we will give several tips:

• all feeding devices must respond to accepted sanitary standards, convenient for care and quite practical;
• non-metallic products must have elementary protection against rabbits attempts to shrink them;
• food-fed must be protected from pollution;
• feeders, excluding bunker, should contain no more than 1 daily nutritional rate so that rabbits could not get there and spoil the remaining stock;
• devices must be as comfortable as possible for use;
• fastening feeders should be reliable so that rabbits cannot damage them or turn it over.

The main types of rabbit feeders

Feeders, which are often used by rabbits for animal nutrition, are the following types:

1. Bowls from ceramics. They make these products at the factory, they are simple and aesthetic, but as practice shows, rabbits often overturn them and scatter food.
2. Concentrated feed and most rootfloods are well laid down in groove feeders, with their help you can easily provide access to food at once a large number of rabbits.
3. Bunker feeders. They are easy to place bulk and granulated feed, their device does not allow animals to dry and scatter products. Allows you to save time, as it is filled with feed for several days.
4. Nursery is the feeders in which various herbs can be stacked and the hay, but they need to follow them and fall asleep in time.
5. Crane view of the feeders. The material for their manufacture is different - this is a metal (canned banks), clay and concrete. As a rule, used for bulk feed or as drinkers for rabbits.

Rabbit gutter feeders

The manufacture of these feeders for rabbits does not represent any particular difficulties. The easiest option is made of 6 boards. Two of them will go to the manufacture of the bottom, two more boards go for long sides of the feeders, and the remaining two are on short side. Such feeders are usually made by conical. For this, the onboard boards are trimmed at an angle and then fasten with screws. The bottom of them get a narrow, which means that feed rabbits will choose much better.

Bunker feeders for rabbits

Before making a bunker feeder for a rabbit, carefully read the drawings of these devices. If you do not have enough practical skills, we advise you to stop your choice on the bunker feeder, which is easily manufactured from tin tri-liter cans from tomatoes.

You will need drill and scissors to cut tin. First of all, the bank is cleared of pasta residues. Then everything is done in the following order:

• half cans cut along its height, not reaching the bottom of about 1.5 cm;
• in the bottom of the banks are drilled by holes;
• cut, semicircular part of the bank is straightened, the edges of 5 mm wide and it is fastened with screws or ripples to the remaining semicircular part with the bottom;
• all sharp and cut edges with pliers are bend, so as not to damage rabbits.

  In this form, the feeder is attached to the wall of the cell.

The general appearance of such a feeder is not very aesthetic, but the ease of work and simplicity of the product put it in the first rows among the designs of the bunker type.

Nursery or Sennitsa for rabbits

These types of feeding devices can be placed inside and outside the cells, but so that the animal can not get into it and blame the design itself, which is often with plastic products.

Such nurseries for the hay can be made with their own hands. For the manufacture of Sennitsa, a wire mesh and a pair of covers are tightened with glass jars. Cells in the wire grid should be no more than 12x12 or 12x24. The grid is folded in the form of a cylinder, and on the sides the design is fastened with covers. Such a nursery suspended to the ceiling or fixed on the wall of the cell. Rabbits freely reach the hay of the nursery, and it is always clean and dry. Sometimes this sensance is made in the form of a ball.

Another simple kind of nursery for hay makes from a wire mesh. The square is taken from the grid, he is bent the edges from four sides. Then, in size, the resulting wire drawer is cut from the grid cover on it. All this fasten and make loops from the wire to secure the design on the wall of the cell. Such feeder is perfect for coarse, concentrated and green feed.

Cup feeders for rabbits

This kind of feeders make enough simple. We take a wide and slight tin can, pliers bend uneven and sharp edges if the bank is high cut it and also process edges. In order to make these feeders from concrete, dig a round pit, pour a solution there, give the shape of the bowl and wait when it freezes. You can also use the iron bowl attached to the cell wall, the fact that it cannot turn over. Often, squeezed feeders are used under water for rabbits. In stores for animals you can always find the receiving price ready for feeding rabbits.

The simplest feeder for rabbits from a tree

This simplest design is made with straight corners of eight boards in inches thick.

Four boards will go to the manufacture of the bottoms, and the remaining boards will be made. First, the bottom of the feeders is going, then the side parts made in advance are applied to its end ends and are attached with self-draws. It turns out a square design with the parties, each of which is 40 centimeters.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it should be noted that you can certainly buy these devices in a special store, they will be more beautiful or constructively more difficult. But if you have enough skills in working with metal and wood, then the feeder for rabbits made with your own hands will bring you much more moral satisfaction, plus you can always add something from yourself.

How to make a feeder for rabbits

The desire to start a rabbit or generally engaged in rabbit breeding, always conjugates with certain problems. What cells to use, what feeders for rabbits is better to apply?

Feeders for rabbits from undergraduate materials: quickly and just

All this will lead to certain costs. You can save. One option is to take drawings and make feeders with your own hands.

There are often such cases when all their pets are massively dying with novice rabbit breeds. There may be a lot of reasons. One of the most important antisanitaries, which, in combination with a disorder of nutrition and dosage of feed, leads to such deposits. If you decide to make yourself rabbits, remember the importance of the right choice of feeders.

Types of feeders

Rabbit feeders belongs to this type of inventory, which saves the time, the cost of strength, maintains the correct power of the animal, significantly increases the hygienic conditions in the cell. And the fact that the hike of rabbits per day to the trough is 26-30 times, speaks of its importance. Distinguish the following types of feeders:

1. Ceramic bowls. As a rule, factory production. Beautifully look, but animals often turn them.
2. Nursery. Used to feed rabbits with hay and grass. Practical, but require frequent attention to replenish feed.
3. Groove feeders. Serve for feeding with root, concentrated and feed. Light in the manufacture. Provide access to the feeding of a large number of rabbits.
4. Bunker feeders for rabbits. Used for bulk and granular feed. The type of design prevents the spreading and hinting of the feed, and the feeder itself is replenished once a few days.
5. Cup feeders. There may be metallic (used cans), concrete or mulling. Apply for granular and bulk feeds. Can serve drinking rabbits.

Rabbit eats hay of feeders

How to make a feeder at home?

In the manufacture of any utensils for the rabbit, it should be remembered that it should be simple and in caring, and in operation. Feed must be protected from foreign pollution. The hygienic state of the inventory must be proper. Professional rabbits can make a groove feeder or nursery in 30 minutes. Material for manufacturing diverse.

Talk about how production will look like for beginners. The first thing that should be is a tool. Prepare the drawings you need. Professionals recommend printing the drawing and decompose it into composite parts. This is done in order to understand the correctness and sequence of collecting the feeders you need.

Features of the feeders

The most practical to date the bunker feeder for rabbits remains. Granulated feed or grain in the course of eating his animals is evenly, gravity, fills the receiving tray and keeps there at the desired level. The feed does not fall out. What positively affects the hygienic state of the cell and favorably affects rabbits. A large plus of such feeders is undoubtedly a large amount of bunker. Thanks to this, the laid food in the container is enough for several days. This type of feeders is often used in farms that are located in the territories of remote accommodation. Distinguish the feeders of the following types:

• bunker with transverse partitions;
• combined;
• round bunker.

The groove feeders are widely used both in amateur rabbit and farms. Very easy and easy to assemble. Drawings of such feeders can read each and make it yourself. They can be different long, and therefore many rabbits can eat from one feeder. The most optimal form for this type is considered cone. Such feeders have a narrow bottom and therefore the sample of feed animals is much better.

Nursery-Senniki is often used in small and medium farms. Experts recommend to make nursery with their own hands. According to professionals, the process of feeding animals will be more hygienic and practical. When rabbits eat grass or hay, they do not scatter food throughout the cage. As a result, the litter of animals is not mixed, and this simplifies cell cleaning and feed consumption. The positive quality of the nursery is that the food is evenly distributed between the pets. It does not give any opportunity to drive the other rabbits to the dominant animal.

Nursery for rabbits

Almost all kinds of feeders are easy to assemble and therefore, they will not make much effort. Choosing the type of feeder, think what your economy will be. How many rabbits will start. An important point remains the location of the rabbit. After all this, boldly proceed to the manufacture of feeders.

What materials are used for making feeders?

The recommended manufacturing material is a thin tin and other metal products and profiles. Although the experienced farmers use a tree, a board, phaneer, plastic, plexiglass, slate (bunker feeders are often manufactured from different materials).

The auxiliary materials are wire, rod, glass. If a tin or metal is not taken as the basis, then in this case you will need to be seen by those places where most likely the rabbits will tear up the part of the structure.

It is worth remembering that you need to smooth all sharp edges or jar, so that rabbits do not damage the skin.

You will come across a lot of difficulties. The correctness of the choice of cells and feeders for rabbits, power modes, hygienic condition, types of feed.

It is necessary to make the right calculations, it is good to study the drawings of cells and feeders, suck yourself with literature.

How to make a simple metal construction?

There is one simple and fast option how to make a metal feeder with your own hands. Consider the main technique of manufacture. Drawings you can easily find on the Internet.

1. You need to take a sheet tin and cut two parts from it, which will correspond to the external drawing contour.
2. Take these two details and make four naves, bending the tin along the lines specified in the drawing. For convenience and security, use pliers.
3. To make it easier to flexing the fissure gently make the lines of folding shallow bums with a knife tip. These serifs should be a depth of half the sheet thickness.
4. Start assembly. Flex a blank as indicated in the drawing. Treat all sharp corners and edges with a snack with a file.

Making bunker feeder

• Scissors for metal
• Drill
• A hammer
• Pliers
• 6 mm drill
• Tree screws 35mm 6 pcs. and 25 mm 6 pcs.
• Two bolts with nuts for 6 mm
• Chipboard or board-twenty 2 pcs. 15 by 30 mm (side walls), 1 pc. 190 size 300 (rear wall)
• Metal mesh size 155 to 290
• Tin 1 pc. 195mm size at 265mm (bunker base, inner wall)
• Tin 1 pc. Width 185 mm, height 135mm (front wall).

Drawing of bunker feeder

1. We collect the frame, connecting the side walls and the rear 4 screws on 35mm.
2. On the front wall of the tin from above, we make cuts of a depth of 30mm at a distance of 20 mm from the edge and a slot in the middle of 3mm width. The resulting "wings" bend at an angle of 90 degrees.
3. Bolts are fed to the front wall. The mesh jack to the bent edge is exactly in the middle.
4. Insert the front wall with the grid to the feeder and fix the screws. At the same time, the back of the grid "falls" on the rear wall of the feeder into the bending.
5. The bunker base from the flexible z-z-like and on top insert into the feeder.

If you decide not to buy feeders, but do it yourself with your own hands - then you should take into service these tips:

• all inventory and all the utensils in rabbit breeding should be practical, easy to care, hygienic;
• if the feeder is made not from a pure metal or tin - to exclude the spraying of its elements;
• minimize feed pollution;
• the feeder must accommodate the daily amount of feed, otherwise the rabbits will climb into it and shred there (the exclusion is bunker feeders);
• the feeder must be convenient for pets;
• the fastening of the feeder should be durable, to avoid turning or drop it.

More information

When breeding rabbits, it is important to take care of the feeders fluffy animals. Make your own feeding device is not so difficult. Constructions differ in materials, form, sizes, feeding method and depend on the conditions of animal content. The article presents detailed instructions, how to make a feeder for rabbits with their own hands.

There are different types of feeders and make them quite simple

Rabbits per day can snack up to 30 times. Compact dining rooms help farmers save their strength when organizing the power regime of their wards. Before proceeding with construction, it is important to take into account the basic requirements for installing this inventory.

1. Capacity. A good feeder accommodates no less daily portion of animal feed.
2. Accessibility of feed. The rabbit should be comfortable to get food and at the same time not to silence the grain.
3. Safety . Lack of sharp corners in the design.
4. Easy to care. The ability to clean the container by maintaining the necessary sanitary conditions in the cell.
5. Materials. Qualitative, secure, preferably inexpensive.
6. Form and size. All member meals should be placed at the dining room, but at the same time not to climb her legs.

By installing feeder rabbits, it is worth understanding that these fluffy creatures cannot be called neat. A faithful solution will be the organization of an additional section of feed waste.

Types of feeders

There are various types of devices. They are divided into:

• bunker feeders for rabbits. Tin, wooden bars and even plastic bottles are suitable as the material. These devices for grain and bulk feed are intended. It disappears the need to very often pour food into the container. It is a kind of autocorus: feed comes with it to reduce it. Rabbits do not scatter and do not remove food in a cage.
• Yellow. They are an oblong wooden tray to which there is access to several animals simultaneously. Used for rooteploods, hay and grain. Can be made of plastic pipe.
• Nursery. The design is designed to feed the hay rabbits. Requires constant control over the number of eaten feed.
• Design of goldukhina. You can use it for any food. Compartments with food easily overturns thanks to the built-in hinges. The device of gold robes is easy to clean, waste is removed without problems. Rabbits do not pin and do not pack food.
• Bowls. Designed to any kind of food, but more often used by the animal drinking. Such a sudine rabbit is easy to turn over and stay without food.

In order to avoid the development of infection in the organism of rabbits, it is necessary to prevent the ingress of patterns, sawdust and straw in food or drink.

Bunker

On the shape of the bunker feeder is a box with a trough at the bottom. You can make it from a large canning can or galvanized sheet.

From tin

Make tin troughs on ready-made drawings is easy.

1. Make serfs on tin sheets, in accordance with the drawings presented.

Facial wall

Design in cut

Trough and limiting element

1. Cut details.
2. Bend sheets on the specified marking.

1. Denote a pencil, where there will be holes on rivets.
2. Drill holes in the indicated points.

1. From the harvested parts to collect a design by connecting rivets.

From tin can

The easiest way to make the feeder yourself, if there is a canning pot of 3 liters at hand. The design is quite simple.

Stages of work:

1. From the bottom it is necessary to measure 1.5-2.5 cm and to read the longitudinal lines along the edges of the can, connecting them with a transverse feature.
2. Make sections on the marked lines.
3. Drill make several holes at the base.
4. Cut part of tin straighten and attach to the feeder.
5. The finished design of the screws to fasten to the door of the rabbit.

From plastic bottle

The homemade feeder from the plastic bottle is economical and manufactured very quickly.

The bottle must be closed with a lid, the optimal volume is 1.5 - 2 liters. Scissors need to cut through the window of 20 * 10 cm in it. The feeder is ready, and it can be connected to the cell.

From wood

The bunker feeder can be made it not only from the galvanized, but also from the bar. Consoles 8 dorsheets with a thickness of 2.5 cm. Of the four you need to make the bottom, the other four will serve as sides, they must be screwed to the bottom of the self-tapping. The whole design should have a square shape with 40 * 40 cm sides.

By the method of solar rabbit

Famous on the Internet of the Internet, a rabbit breeding under a pseudonym Sunny rabbit gives advice on self-making feeders.

Before starting assembly, you need to pack the part from plywood with a thickness of at least 1 cm.

• the length of the workpiece should be 30 cm;
• width 13 cm;
• distance from the top edge to the protrusion of 20 cm;
• the base is 16 cm;
• the widest part of the part from the rear wall to the edge of the protrusion is 20 cm;
• from the bottom facility of the body of the feeder to the middle of the protrusion there should be an indent 5.5 cm.

The item should look like in the picture. Next, you need to take a galvanized sheet, bend, as shown in the photo.

Dimensions Details from galvanizing:

• width 26 cm;
• the distance from the edge to the angle is 16 cm;
• from the corner to the bend - 6 cm;
• the width of the bend is 2 cm.

Side frames from plywood must accurately "sit" on the tin item. At the edges of the galvanized, it is necessary to make holes to a further connection with plywood.

The distance from the edge to bending is 23 cm. 1 cm on top of the part will have to bend. On bending from both edges you need to stored 1 cm. The width of the bent part is 4 cm. Drill holes, as in the photo.

It will take a rectangular leaf of perforated iron with a size of 26 * 20 cm. It must be adjusted inside from one edge to 1 cm and beaten to 1 cm from the outer edge. Also, the sheet must be cut down 1 cm on each side so that it fit inside the feeder.

It is extremely important to protect the edge of the feeders from the teeth of the collies. It is necessary to make protection from a metal sheet with dimensions of 7 * 2 * 2 cm.

It is necessary to prepare plexiglass with dimensions 26 * 20 cm and the lid of 20 * 13 cm from plastic or any infrident material.

Next, you need to connect all the details of the design. The first curved iron item is a base. Side frames from plywood are installed on it, the bent part of the second sheet will be inside the feeder. The perforated sheet is also placed inside the design, it will serve as a suspension limiter. The plexiglass is installed at the back and is the rear wall, through which the amount of feed is visible. The lid can be attached to the chains. The design should be attached with iron clothespins, which will not be much labor.

Groove

The groove feeder made by her own hands is well suited to the grain, feed and hay. As can be seen from the drawing, the design is extremely simple. It is a bottom with side walls. It can be made of metal, and to make the end from plywood. The length is preferable to take from 50 to 100 cm. So immediately several animals will be able to eat at the same time.

You can install the design both inside the cell and outside. If the tray stands on the floor, rabbits can screak out of it feed. That is why the oblong feeder should be mounted on the wall at a distance of about 10 cm from the floor.

From sewer pipe

The usual sewer tube with a diameter of 100 mm is perfect for the device of a groove feeder.

Stages of manufacture

1. Hoven sawing a piece of pipe with a length of 300 mm.
2. It is necessary to make a locking handle with a length of 20 mm. Measure 100 mm to the side of the middle of the pipe and draw two stripes along the pipe at a distance of 130 mm from each other.
3. According to the battered lines, 140 mm from a length of 140 mm, without affecting the strip measured to that.
4. It takes a construction hairdryer. With it, sliced \u200b\u200bearlier pieces of pipe should be heated and straighten. Of them you need to cut the sides.
5. With the help of sandpaper, clean the sidewalls of the future feeder.
6. Through a glue pistol, you need to glue the side parts of the structure, retreating a little from the edges.
7. Drill from the back of the hole to securing to the wall.

The dimensions of this design can be changed, based on the number of wards.

According to Zolotukhina

The cauldron of gold row is a multi-tiered design with tipping compartments with food. Extremely convenient for use. It is done from the tree and is abundant by the galvanism so that the tray does not suffer from the tooth of rabbits.

It is necessary to take three wooden boards of the same length (the length is selected according to the sizes of the cell). Of these, you need to build the semblance of a drawer, where the outer side is twice as high as the inner. The bottom must be under the tilt, and an angle of 35 degrees should be formed between the base and the inner wall. So animals will be easier to get feed. If the design is made entirely of iron, then the sheets need to be exhausting, observing the aspect ratio, as shown in the drawing.

Then it is necessary to make side wooden walls in the form of a trapezoid, two pieces per tray. Mobile thickness should be 2.5 - 3 cm. The holes are drilled in these sides, and with the help of nails they are mounted on the cell door from the outside. The tray should be easily rotated.

A grid is installed on top of the tray. It performs the function of the limiter. Be sure to leave the lumen in 2 cm between the bottom edge of the mesh and the bottom of the drawer. The edges of the grid must be treated to avoid the cuts in animals.

Principles of making yoke

Nursery (or degrees) are intended only to feeding with hay. The design is very convenient. The device is equipped with a grid or grid on the other side where rabbits will eat dry grass.

V-shaped nursery

1. Take a 15 cm width board, it will serve as a frame.
2. From the bar prepare 4 rails of 40 cm long (for sidewall) and 3 planks of 50 cm each - for top and bottom.
3. From the lattice you need to cut off two quadrilaters with a size of 30 * 40 cm. In the future, the hay will flow through these walls.
4. It is necessary to combine two short strips with nails or self-stips and one long, the letter "P" should turn out.
5. The same must be done with the remaining rails.
6. Two finished parts must be connected to each other to form a check mark "V".
7. Attach mesh on the frame.
8. Put the feeder in the rabbit.

Summary

An animal breeder, choosing which feedushka to give preference, should provide a degree of its convenience, how easy it will be removed, add feed and waste waste. It is important to estimate all the pros and cons of designs and materials. As a rule, the thing made with your own hands is able to satisfy all the requests and preferences of the farmer.

Not only the convenience of their residence, but also the care of their place of residence, but also the convenience of animal content. Rabbits eat very often, and replenish their food reserves also fall more than once a day. There are many varieties of feeders who are designed for different types of feed and have different designs. We will talk about bunker feeders for rabbits: what is the advantage of this type and how to make them with your own hands.

There are many different types of rabbits feeders:

1. nursery - used for feeding with hay. They are convenient to use, but require frequent replenishment;
2. grooves - use for feeding with bulk feeds, comfortable and practical, simply produce them, but also require frequent replenishment;
3. bowls - they do not need to make it and the container is suitable for this type, almost any, but the animal can easily shift it and pour out all the contents of it;
4. bunker feeders for rabbits - comfortable, used for bulk feed (grains, granules). Camera, and you can replenish it once a few days.

It is about the last form of feeders that we will talk in our article. The main advantage of this type is the economy of feed. Since the animal cannot scatter the grain from this container, it will not be covered. Also, the container is closed from above, which helps to protect food from contamination.

This type also saves you time, you do not have to constantly monitor the presence of feed. Capacity allows you to fall asleep enough food for animals for several days. And rabbits will always be fed. As you know, these animals are very susceptible to stress and feeling of hunger for them is also a stress factor. Regular nutrition with clean feeds prevents the possibility of animal disease by constipation, indentation of the stomach, swollen and other diseases that are associated with the digestive system.

Use bunker tank for feeding is very convenient, it can be installed in any cell type. Cleaning will also not be much labor. It is easily removed and installed. It can be easily made it with your own hands, and the materials for it will be in any shed. There are many different machinery manufacturing systems: Tsvetkov, Brush, etc.

How to do at home

With special difficulties in the manufacture of bunker feeders, you will not come across. In order to properly make a capacity of this character, it is necessary to initially make a drawing. With it, it will be easier for you to make this design. It is also necessary to prepare materials from which you will produce this thing. The design is pretty simple. In the picture you can see the drawing of the bunker feeder.

Drawing: Scheme (left) and finished design (right)

The main thing is to determine the size and material. You can make such a container from a tree or from sheets of tin, there are also plastic billets that you can purchase in specialized stores. Wooden design is considered more environmental than metallic or plastic, but less durable. Moreover, the love of rabbits sweep the teeth can lead to the rapid destruction of the wooden capacity.

It is best, if the upper part (place where feed falls asleep) will close, it will protect the grain from dirt and dampness. Before starting the construction of bunker feeders, decide on the type of fastening it to the cell. The mount should be durable, and the container should not be fused.

Materials and tools

The choice of tools will depend on what material you are going to make a container. We offer you to make the basic elements of the tin. In order to make a bunker feeder, you will need:

• scissors for metal;
• drill;
• a hammer;
• pliers;
• drill;
• metal mesh or metal sheet with drilled holes;
• tin leaf.

The tin sheet will be needed in order to hide the design inside. This measure will allow you to easily clean the feeder and will prolong its service life. The manufacturing process itself is simple, and the drawings will simplify your work.

Manufacture

Initially proceed to work with an inner tin frame. The sheet size should be at least 120x250 cm. The sheet thickness must be 0.5 mm. This design has three main details:

1. pallet;
2. back wall;
3. front wall.

Trough. The length of the trough will be 250 + 10 mm, and width 220 + allowance for fixing 10 mm.

Corto Gnome in width of 3 sections + allowance for consolidation. The first section of 150 sizes, the second - 50, and the third - 20 mm. The allowances should be at least 10 mm on each side of the workpiece.

To simplify work with the workpiece, lateral and rear walls of the Goome of one sheet. The size of this workpiece in length will be 370 mm. In the width of the Geng Meal sheet of metal into three parts: the side walls of 150 mm and the rear should be 250 mm in size. The billet for the front wall will also have three bends: the first - 130, the second - 140, and the third - 100 mm. The length of the leaf should have 250 mm + on both sides of the allowance of 10 mm. TOTAL, cut out a sheet of 270 mm.

Clamps make hands. Milking thickness It allows, small bends (for points) can be made by passatages. In the workpieces we make markings of fastening and drill holes drill. And then fasten all the elements of the bunker feeder together. This can be done both rivets and bolts. The grid is installed last on the bottom of the design, but you can do without it.

In the model provided by us there is no lid. If you have the need to set the cover for the feeder, then you will additionally need a metal sheet with a size of 250x150 mm and loops.

These parameters of the bunker feeder for rabbits can be considered optimal. If you need a bigged design, then you can make a feeder, cutting a blank two times more.

This container accommodates two daily feedbacks for rabbits. If you make the feeder according to the principle we have granted, but less in size, remember that the minimum volume should be one daily feed rate. It is necessary to fix the bunker feeder to firmly so that the rabbits cannot turn it over.
