It's a shame that most people don't have the same mindset about rabbits as you. They can be both loved and eaten. It's better to respect the creatures we eat, instead of mindlessly consuming mass produced sick abused animals. All the vegans who complain on your videos should realize you're doing more for their cause than they are. It is unrealistic to expect everyone in the world to stop eating meat. Educating people about how to raise livestock humanely is the best way to go. Love your videos!

We had apple tree's that were not pruned for several years so i use garden pruners to snip off smaller limbs, or shear off the larger limbs and the rabbits just love them. It helps dullen their teeth to save clipping. They especially love the leaves. Don't leave the apple seeds in apples, and only give them small amounts occasionally. The cyanide in the seeds can kill them. I found a dead mouse laying beside some traps that had carried apple seeds quite a distance into a shed.

I think you can cut down on feed cost if you cultivate alfafa and timothy hay. You can use the rabbits poop as fertilizer for the grass and you can have the rabbits graze or you can mow the lawn and feed them the fresh cut of grass, itll make them more healthier since its fresh and itll make the meat tastier and since you are what you eat. You can also plant a moringa tree, its called camunggay or malunggay or kamunggay in the Philippines and is extremely resilient, has so much leaves, the leaves are healthy but the green twigs are high in fiber and the bark branches make for excellent chew toys for the rabbits since its pretty boring in cages right.

I take the time to watch videos that will benefit me in some fashion. Your rabbit videos are helpful. I raised Californians and White New Zealands years ago and appreciate your input. Rabbit meat is leaner than chicken and just the best all round homestead animal. We just built our house, so no out buildings as yet. Our winters are so cold, plus predators, so I would like to have a screened small bunny barn someday. Easier on me and the bunnies. I will follow your channel with interest. It is a good point that rabbits can be sold as pets. I especially like the sable brown Dwarf French Lops.

I just want to hug the rabbits, they are so cute. I breed mice and know that sometimes you have to do things that you might not want to but it's part of life. I sometime have to cull down my numbers because it's for the health of the doe and the pups, the doe can only feed so many and have them be healthy. I get people who get mad at me for this, but they don't understand (some refuse) that this is just what must be done. We don't do this to be cruel, we just do what needs to be. Also I see a lot that is the same in raising them, but much that isn't, it's so interesting learning about the breeding of other animals.

Is that a special feed your feeding the dough and the kits? also I would like to know how much per day and how often do you feed the buck versus the dough versus the dough with the kits thank you so much y'all are doing a great job so much information you all appear to be a very loving family and it is obvious that y'all care about others I love the fact that y'all are keeping it real no sugar coat.

I don't know why people got away from eating rabbit. Many years ago (actually decades) many supermarkets sold fresh rabbit that was locally grown. Butcher shops in bigger cities sold rabbits along with other meats locally grown. People in the suburbs grew their own rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese and maybe milk cows. What they are doing here is actually a throwback to what our parents, grandparents and further back always did.

Question? Once the kits are in the tractor do they stay overnight. And secondly when would you need to start watching for them to try and dig their way out. Thank you

Really good, instructive video. I just wish you'd point out that you've been getting the kits used to grass while they were still in the cage before putting them out in the tractor.

We have been able to prevent escape by moving the tractor 2 or 3 times a day. Predators are not an issue here, because we are fully fenced with the dog, but we will have to add wire in Idaho.

How much do you feed them daily?! I have 4 adult rex, 1 junior doe, a pair of Holland lops, and 6 grow outs (just dispatched at 18 wks) and I was going through a 50lb bag of feed almost weekly... maybe a week and a half.

Oh wow, I suppose we go through about 40 pounds a week with 7 breeders. With litters we go through more. How much are you feeding them? Do you feed timothy also?

The weaning of the rabbits you are doing is NOT wrong. Only different.You can wean the rabbits as early as 3 weeks (which I do NOT recommend). 4 weeks you are fine for meaning as they are eating fine by then. I prefer to breed the doe 3 wees after kindling and wean the kits at 5 weeks. This gives me the maximum growth rate and litter production. It keeps a good doe producing longer and the bunnies grow really well. This is the procedure I have used for many years with great success.This equals maximum growth of the bunnies and maximum longevity for the doe. My personal study and experience over the years. Again I am NOT criticizing your procedure. Just offering personal experience.Rabbit meat is a great and economical food source.
