WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm A Rabbit Cage at a base, ideally near the garden or other routine food stations.
Keep a small breeding group in a Rabbit Cage and let breeding occur during sleep, then collect rabbits for food when needed. The cage can hold up to seven rabbits, but the process depends on housing two to four together and is not an immediate replacement for hunting. It works best as a reserve alongside other food sources.
Before you go A Rabbit Cage built at base. Two to four rabbits housed together to allow breeding. A safe way to capture and transfer rabbits, such as traps. Build a Rabbit Cage near the base food area where you can check it routinely. Catch rabbits with traps placed along visible rabbit paths. Transfer captured rabbits into the cage and keep a breeding group of two to four together. Leave the animals housed while you sleep so breeding can occur. Check the cage after sleeping and confirm whether additional rabbits are present. Keep the cage at or below its seven-rabbit capacity by collecting rabbits for food when the group grows. Replenish the breeding group if removals leave fewer than two rabbits together. Farming tips Treat the cage as a backup reserve; keep hunting or other food plans for immediate needs. Check the head count before taking rabbits so the breeding group remains intact. Repeat, collect and use Repeatable breeding can occur during sleep with two to four rabbits housed; the cage holds up to seven, so capacity limits the reserve.
Common mistakes Keeping only one rabbit: maintain a group of two to four for breeding. Filling the cage past capacity expectations: collect some when it reaches seven. Taking every rabbit for food: leave a breeding group so the backup can continue. When to stop or switch Stop collecting rabbits when you have enough food for the next outing and at least two remain housed for the breeding group.
