About Us:
We are a homeschool and homesteading family of 6 that farms our 1 acre permaculture organic acre in WA State. We are currently building off grid on our new 20 acre homestead in North Idaho. We garden, seed save, raise meat rabbits, raise chickens, process our own meat, save our own seed, can, bake, and do just about everything that we can ourselves to achieve a self sufficient and debt free life for our family.

    It’s April, 2020 and the world is changing. I’m a public high school teacher who has to adapt teaching online from home. I have one acre in a neighborhood a mile from our school. It’s a dream come true to be able to micro homestead while earning a living as an educator. Believe me, my own kids are getting QUITE the education learning how to care for our chickens and soon to be rabbitry. Thank you for teaching me. ❤️😇🤠

    We love rabbit here at our homestead. I love that we can produce healthy lean meat for our family and they can experience the good and bad of live and the challenges of raising food. The joys of baby bunnies they can love and cuddle, the daily and weekly chores that get boring and we'd love to skip but can't, and the hardest day when we process our animals and my children think on the costs of eating meat instead of just buying it from a store. Circle of life people, carnivores ripe them open and they die from their wounds, we spend time and money making sure it's quick and quiet. Commercial farming is hard on the environment but people producing just enough food for themselves and their community is the way if the future.

    Really sad knowing their fate. I'm a vegetarian but I believe people who eat meat are best to do it this way. You keep them healthy and in a clean environment (although I would suggest putting something on parts of the wire bottom to try and avoid some health problems and make the bunny more comfortable) But buying from a supermarket people dont view meat as an animal that once lived and breathed but just as meat and would be squeamish of the animals death and wouldnt want to know anything about its death or where it came from (even though they eat it??) Doing it this way you know where your meat comes from and that it was ethical and humane. Although I would personally provide a bigger cage with less of that metal bottom but I get your trying to save time and money. Cute little bunnies too! Idk how you bring yourself to do it though 😳

  • @GoodSimpleLiving

    @GoodSimpleLiving

    4 жыл бұрын

    It's never easy, but we believe it's the responsible thing to do if we are going to be meat eaters. Also, the wire bottom prevents health problems, it doesn't cause them. For outdoor rabbits it is vital they have a perfectly clean cage at all time. Wood harbors fleas, mites, and causes urine burn on hocks. Any waste in a cage will attract flystrike and bot flies. Our rabbits have resting mats and wooden hay stuffed sleep boxes. They have no hock sores. Carpet would get soiled and wet, and could kill them when they chew it, which they would.

Only difference being that when you peel the rabbits they'll be dead. What with potatoes trying to still grow and sprout up until the moment they are sliced up and dropped in boiling water. Makes you realise how evil and murderous vegetarians are. Just saying. Can't wait for the next episode, so glad I found you guys, a real inspiration, thank you!

    I'm paying close attention! We are finally at the point where we are starting to get our homestead ready to be able to raise our own meat. Rabbits are definitely on the list! If I read correctly in the comments on another video, you are raising rex rabbits? They are BEAUTIFUL! Now i'm leaning towards those. 😊

    They look healthy! Bet they'll be yummy when they're grown 😋 I've got chickens for eggs and we've had lots of casualties, it's just a fact of raising animals. It's commendable that they get old and are healthy enough to eat. Some people will never understand what it's like to raise something, put time, money, energy, and care into it so you can have something good to eat.

    Back when I was a kid we had a Netherland dwarf rabbit baby that had eyes opened at way too early and fur got in it. Cleaned it out but he was like 2 days old and it definitely made him blind his eyes didn't have a chance to finish developing I think. Gotta be extra vigilant with eye issues. Super sweet bunny and we did our best to give him a good life but someone broke into our shelter and had their dog kill pur bunnies they piled them head to toe head to toe at the front of the shelter. Some people are jerks. At least they lived well before then. We lived in town. He made it until he was 2 though. Also such adorable rabbits. I love their colors.

    @@GoodSimpleLiving Yeah sometimes people can be pretty cruel thinking it was someone trying to train their fighting dog who really wanted to be a jerk. I know dogs don't break in open cages and line them head to toe. But a lot of people bred dogs to fight in that town 😑 presents it's own problem I get animals fight on their own sometimes but I think people who force them in those situations are just too cowardly and weak to box and put themselves in a ring so they get their animals to take the hits for them. As far as the early eye I wonder if maybe mama's nails or siblings nails possible just sliced them? Have no clue hasn't happened since but it's definitely something I look out for in case. He was a sweet bunny being blind didn't stop that but I'd rather not have another bunny go through being blind if I gave a chance to prevent it. Not the dog thing either. Where I'm at here I doubt that will repeat we have some pretty nice neighbors who love animals. It's one thing to kill for food but whomever it was wanted me to see what they had done to them for sheer entertainment value so they had to be pretty crazy. Wasn't at all a normal thing. I've heard we have to be careful when rehoming animals these days because of people who want to use any animal to help make their fighter get a blood lust. They look for free animals on craigslist. I was warned when I had pups for free when living in AZ. And boy was that lady right I had three nice women contact me about how they are a shelter or oh they love dogs so much they will take them all. All similar stories but all wanting all the pups. I thought that was super weird and didn't give them to them. Truth is animal shelters don't have time to check out free animals on Craigslist they are caring for and trying to rehome the pets they have in their shelters already. These people had women doing the contacting too as if men asked for them it would be more suspicious. I'm an over thinker it being a woman instead didn't make it any less weird to me lol. Those people are who your veganazi haters should be after them instead, maybe they could actually do some good instead of harassing good people lol

    @@pewdavid3338 Netherland dwarf rabbits are very small they were show rabbits. Also no I shouldn't have to jump to eating something in anticipation of some jerk breaking into our yard with a dog trespassing and murdering our animals. It didn't eat them it killed them and piled them head to toe. Even if it's meat rabbits you kill them when you are ready to do so. You aren't suppose to speed up your plants to anticipate these kinds of acts. The person who brought their dog to do this had no right to be there. It's not my fault for not eating them so someone couldn't rob me. Sorry if that wasn't your intent but that's how it looked. I shouldn't have eaten them first, he shouldn't have tresspassed. If we break this down passed the emotional factor, because I was a kid who loved my rabbits, we get into property rights. All around he had no business there and a person was involved because the cage doors were opened. Also dogs don't like them head to toe out of habit. For sure a dog was involved due to the bite marks but he was definitely coaxed into doing it by his owner it wasn't just some stray dog.
