Part 1: How to breed rabbits + telling the difference between bucks & does
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
I breed Silver Fox and Creme d’Argent rabbits for meat, breeding stock, and show. Rabbits are amazing little animals that have the ability to provide meat for even the smallest homestead, and I love helping people get started with them! Often times I’m asked questions about breeding, kindling, and raising rabbit kits (as well as choosing the best candidates from show or breeding stock). This is Part One of my 3-part series all about rabbit breeding & raising.

Poop!! Always poop 😂 I cannot control them 💩
This was nice and educational. The "fall off" was so dramatic I wasn't expecting that lol. Too funny. Love your vids!
Oh my gosh, cracking UP at the “fall off” 😆🤣
Thank you so very much for NOT bleeping it out. Very interested in adding rabbits to our homestead and it will be a brand new experience. Looking forward to learning more from you.
30 seconds for breeding, 30 days for kindling!😂 Surely KZread will recognize this is animal husbandry, not human husbandry, and not penalize you for posting a very informative and helpful video.

This video has been so helpful for sexing rabbits! I’ve been trying to figure it out but no one has really given any good visuals (sorry for the rabbits lol) so this has been awesome!

Hello Rhettamy how's the weather over there
Silver fox rabbits are so pretty! Really appreciate your informative videos!
thank you so much for teaching me how to know a male and female rabbit bcos i bought a male rabbit thinking it was a female, but after watching this video i checked my rabbit ,and found out it was a male.thanks to you.i'm so proud of you.love you.
Very helpful vid. I JUST got into rabbits. I got 2 bucks and 2 does right now. They are only 4 months old. So they got some growing to do lol. But I been doing some research and saw this video. Very very helpful. Thanks!
Watching you is so fulfilling in that you are direct with your message, you don't repeat yourself, the background music, you have so much valuable experience, simply put I enjoy learning through your videos. Thank you for making this.
Excellent Answered a lot of my question. What a great breeder.
This video was so helpful. Now I know that the 'buck' that I got six months back is actually a doe!

I find rabbit breading bothersome. But I went ahead and toughed it out and watched. Thx 😊
Thanks so much for being willing to share all this no matter what! You can tell you genuinely care for your animals. And I know it’s tough to think about eating the bunnies. But that’s part of life. Ya know? Thanks for all you do! I’ll keep watching!
Thank you so much I learned a lot. Now I have to get my husband to get a rabbit. He used to raise rabbits for food.

I also bred one of my doe by the name sia...am also a rabbit keeper inspired by you....thank you
Excellent video! You explained everything very well while going through the breeding process! Loved the music during the second set of rabbits breeding! 🎶 ❤️ I’m glad you showed the genders for those of learning, we can’t learn if it is blurred out. Also while you were showing the genders I couldn’t help thinking how sweet the bunny feet are on the bottom. They got cute feet!! I’m looking forward to your next video.

Thank you for making this very informative and unapologetic video and most importantly, being wiling to teach total strangers with such passion. We are considering starting rabbitry and this was very very helpful information. Also, you have very beautiful eyes!
Thank you so much for this video! I was not expecting my bunnies (Kami & Kye) to do as well as they did! Mostly because Kye is blind, but he found Kami just fine! Thank you for the video!
Your rabbits r so cute
Love rabbits we gave my niece as a gift my sister and I she had 2 rabbits
Thank you so much! We are very new at owning rabbits and have made mistakes. Your wildness to forgo $$ to teach us is so honorable and sweet! I subscribed and liked 🎉 bless you Amber from The Homestead Diary
I appreciate you sharing this so much! Both breeds are just gorgeous!
Thank you for your honesty and educational video. Super helpful.
Great video. Very helpful info as always! Thank you for all you share.
All the bunnies in the back while shed talking ayo that black rabbit was swirling!
Me and my wife are neither rabbits. We've watched lots of videos and have been trying to figure out how to tell the difference between the boys and the girls are the bucks and the dose. This is the first video that actually helped explain it to where we can now definitely figure out which one is. Which last time we tried to figure it out? We ended up with a pregnant rabbitwhen we didn't want one and so now thanks to this video and thanks to your help. We can keep from having that problem again and hopefully we continue. Learning and moving forward with our new endeavor of raising rabbits
I just left a comment on another one of your videos if you could do something like this and you did it perfectly! Thank you so much!

I was told over and over that once they hit their senior weight, then they're set to go. I've been waiting weeks for my younger rabbits to meet their senior weight, but we finally made it! Rex seem to grow slowly. Tomorrow I'm breeding a proven buck and virgin doe, and of another breed, a virgin buck and proven doe. Good luck to my virgin buck! Pressure's on!

Truly enjoyed watching your video. Informative and well done. One of the best I have seen out of many I have watched. Wish I had found you first. Your handling of the rabbits encouraged me to engage more with my own. As I am just getting started (2 weeks in) and have a 9 mo old Satin doe who charges and bites. She has gotten much, much better but forces me to be slightly fearful and constantly on guard with her. We are both having to learn to trust one another which is developing slowly. I haven't attempted to hold any of my 6 other rabbits due to the experiences I have had with her. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you sooo much for this it's been great help too me starting as a young rabbit farmer❤
You very clear and superb. I started December 2020 newsland...enjoying litter ..bunnies so amazing
I have had Silver Fox Rabbits for 3 years. Best I have ever had. Been raising rabbits for 30 years and they have been the most docile, calm rabbits. I purchased 2 does 7 months old with pedigrees yesterday. The breeder said they are ready to breed but I told her I will wait 2 months. They seem very small to me. Dont have a scale to weigh them. Eyes and coat look healthy. I checked to be sure they were does b4 purchase. I am concerned about their small size.
This is what is exactly what is needed it helps new comers know how it should be done, i keep new Zealand and English spots my new Zealand are my meat rabbits and my English spots are my show rabbits, all my hutches are made out of wood as we can't get wire cages here in the UK but they are made really strong 2x2 frames 19mm tongue and groove boards roof is covered with roofing felt too make it waterproof my hutch sizes are 48 inches by 24 inches by 18 inches they are made 3 tier high, at present all our shows are cancelled due to the virus
Just bought a few rabbits, spur of the moment, and I'm really interested in your setup there. We live up north a bit and it gets pretty cold. This was the most informative video yet, so I'm going to creep the rest and see if I can get more info. Thank you so much for putting this out there. Extremely helpful.
Thank you. I couldn't tell the difference until this video.
Thank you! I have wondered about the sexing for awhile, and now I know we have two bucks. Lol.

Good on you and thanks for sharing a very well presented vid. 👍
I live in Biloxi MS and I have 10 breeders (NZ and Tamuk) and have been homesteading for a few years now. I have never tried table breeding. I am going to try this, thank you for the suggestions. I learned a lot today. Appreciate your efforts.
New subscriber, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to learning more.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have just bought 3 English Angoras (1buck 5 months old, 2 does 10 weeks old) and I’m trying to learn all I can about breeding them before they are old enough to start trying. I wish that I had a grown up 4 H program that would lead me and teach me. I want to be a good and responsible breeder. Ps. I also copied your hutch set up. KW cages and had some guys build the hutch to hold them. So much better than cleaning trays everyday. With the angora wool they absolutely need to be in wire bottom cages. Very helpful video!!

Hello
You did a great job preparing this this video. Had never heard of table breeding, but it makes perfect sense. I hear you about sad when some of the ones you raise up and they leave the rabbitry, Had a young NZW buck that I delivered yesterday that was just a sweet boy. I have a Lavender Rex boy that is going to make someone a great buck for foundation that I will really be sad to see go, but you have to do what you do. Thanks again. Many blessings.
