How to Build a Rabbit Cage and Trap

The Forest is filled with structures and resources that can enhance your survival experience. Notably, rabbit traps and cages provide a reliable way to secure food, making them a vital addition to your survival strategy.

Understanding how to effectively use a rabbit cage can take some time and practice, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be better equipped to face the challenges in The Forest.

How to Build a Rabbit Cage and Trap

To successfully use a Rabbit Cage, you first need to build a Rabbit Trap, so keep that in mind as you start. You can find the Rabbit Cage design in the Food section of the Survival Guide.

Interact with it like you would any other structure, then choose a spot to build it. Once you’ve done that, follow the schematic to gather the materials you need. You will require 13 sticks, which you can collect from the ground.

Keep in mind that you can carry only a maximum of ten sticks at a time. You can deposit those ten sticks into the cage’s transparent schematic and then go back for the remaining three to complete it.

Creating a ‘Stick Bag’ allows you to carry more than ten sticks, but you’ll likely find all the sticks you need nearby, making this less of an issue.

After constructing your Rabbit Cage, you can create a Rabbit Trap using a similar method. The Rabbit Trap is located in the Small Traps section of the Survival Guide and requires 31 sticks, which is quite a bit.

How to Use a Rabbit Cage

Once you’ve built both your Rabbit Trap and Rabbit Cage, you’ll need to wait for a rabbit to wander into your trap. When a rabbit is caught, go up to it and interact to pick it up. Then take it to your Rabbit Cage and interact again to place the rabbit inside; each cage can hold up to seven rabbits.

Sleeping at night can speed up the real-time process of rabbits being caught in traps.

Rabbits have a small chance (about ten percent) of breeding in cages while you sleep, so we suggest having four rabbits in one cage. Building several cages with the same number can help ensure a steady supply of food and rabbit fur.

To facilitate breeding, you should maintain a minimum of two and a maximum of four rabbits in a cage. If your aim is just to gather rabbits, feel free to fill the cage up to its limit of seven.
