Welcome!

We are the Nelsey family: Dave, Dawn & Collin. (Brandy, Crystal and Ashley have moved out and on with their lives)

We live in North East Michigan.

Our rabbitry is called A Basket of Blessings Rabbitry because we think bunnies are blessings from God. We also know that God gives us baskets of blessings as well.

 Come on in and see our rabbitry, get to know us and maybe learn a thing or two.

God bless, Dawn

We are official members of : 

ABOB's Rabbits

Here at A Basket of Blessings Rabbitry we raise:

Holland Lops

Lionheads

Affordable Rabbit Housing (and I mean affordable)

I am working on instructions to make homemade stackable rabbit cages with homemade drop pans. You will be able to make any size cage with drop pans up to three levels. These instructions will be for sale at a reasonable cost. I may even begin making these cages for sale come spring.

They will save you money and the fuss of trying to find drop pans etc.

The inexpensive drop pans can be made to fit ANY size cage, even ones not the normal size or as a catch for hanging cages. Also the pans are able to be totally disinfected.

All the materials you need, except for possibly the cage door hooks and j-clips, can be found at your local hardware and lumber store.

True to our rabbitry name, A Basket of Blessings, these cage plans are designed to be a blessing to rabbit owners to help keep the cost of raising rabbits down in tough economical times. I would love to give these instructions away, but like everyone else, we need the money to keep our household and rabbitry going. The cost of these plans will be more than recouped in the money you save on the first set of cages you make.

Watch for details!

Hopefully these plans will be ready by the first of the year if not sooner. I am expecting the cost of the plans to be $10 or less downloaded and $15 or less printed (cost of ink, paper and postage added). The plans will include all the instructions to make a 24" x 24" set of stacked cages with drop pans and ideas and material lists to make other sizes as well as ideas on how to make the drop pans go under hanging cages.

Update: These cages cost me a total of $72.00 to make including taxes.

If you read this and would be interested in something like this, please e-mail me and let me know. Put Homemade Rabbit Cages in the subject line, please.
