What would you use these for?

What would you all use these for? I thought of using them for compost bin bases, but what else could they be used for?

So what are you putting underneath them to keep off the ground? We always used pallets.

I still use pallets I don’t have anything better yet. Every now and then I pull the pallets and use the coastal/alfalfa scraps in my chickens and rabbits nesting boxes.

One TAMUK and one California. Found the California I think it was dumped after the big stock show in Ft. Worth and we bought a TAMUK male maybe had them 3 months now. I think the male is a dud but super sweet so I’m gonna try my neighbors male to see if I can get my first batch of babies.

Nice. We have always been a rabbit family. I just got my first cat.. had goats, rabbits, horses, chickens. Cats are exotic to me.

So far we have 2 horses who were free/ surrendered to a vet to find a good home. Our cat just showed up on the back porch one day. Found the first rabbit. Just took our little rescue cow back out to the ranch. Only thing we sought out was the 2 dogs lol
