Also set them up to graze. Only way to do it.
Agreed, but containing rabbits though, bit of a pain
If you can run chicken wire along the entire bottom and then set it over grass that can poke up through the chicken wire that might work. Otherwise yeah, digging is a problem.
Came to the same conclusion on this end. Explains why people keep them in those hutches I guess. I get that they're meat animals, but those feel wrong to me. At least let them out to live a bit before they hit the stew pot.
I would look into miniature cattle or goats for grazing.
You need cages for that. A plus is their poop makes really good fertilizer.
I have been organic for decades and even in Florida, where the dirt is just sand, I grew figs, veggies and blackberries galore. I used diluted human urine. Free fertilizer.
Yeah... but look into it. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and more, all for free.

Yep, I just don't like cages for animals. If you're going to be food, you may as well enjoy being alive till then. But I get the necessity for containment, but it's a factor in why I don't have any yet.
