    Great videos! Just a note, some people breed the larger breeds (giants) because they give more meat per hour spent butchering (for us that are time constrained), or just for pets. Generally the kits take 30% longer to wean on giants, and take a lot out of the mom so we don't breed them right away otherwise we lose the mom. But there's a reason why NZ and CA rabbits are used, as you pointed out, great production.

    Meat Breed Rabbits like New Zealand and Silver Fox are mostly used because the meat to bone ratio at 16wks is the most cost efficient. Bigger Breeds do eventually make more meat but food cost is more. If you butcher large breed Rabbits at 16 wks you get less meat than you do with Meat Breed Rabbits. Hope that made sense. In the end the cost per pound to produce meat is less with the Meat Breeds, but all Rabbits taste good to me. Keep doing your thing.

    North Alabama here. We breed our NZ/Cali vigorously. We have currently 16 doe and 8 bucks. 8-4 that breed together on one side of the barn and 8-4 on the other. Winter we move them inside and keep the barn around 60 degrees and keep breeding. We only breed our does for 2 years then process them after 8 weeks of being in our “Retirement Home” my kiddos call “The Ritz” lol we have between 10-14 almost every litter (of course we have had all the things happen that could happen) we had one doe have 15 twice in a row which freaked me out a little. We breed heavy.

    My does first litter was 10 kits(Satin&California) and her second was 14 kits. (Satin&Silver Fox) Some kits died each time. Is this TOO big a litter or would this be considered great results with the above average litters?

    @hillockfarm8404

    Dead kits are no good for meat at 8+ weeks or replacement breeders (and decaying kits in the nest are a threat to the other kits). So, no in my book. I prefer a litter that the doe can raise with a 100% succes rate and therefore has enough to give to all kits both during gestation and nursing periods. Bad start impacts the whole development, so possibly slower growth and impact on health and long term fertility if kept for breeding. Although here to most kits will end up in the freezer and i have a range for littersize, (5-7, but dwarf breed for ease of handling, etc.) meat is not a selection criterium for breeding. Healthy animals that are easy to handle and thrive in my care are. Breed standard, etc. are all below this on the list (they are above max. size/weight, but just right for me). Now given my situation and the insights here (EU) i breed 2 litters a year per doe (leave daughters on till next breeding if possible) and that gives me plenty of meat along with some lamb. If i start breeding way more i'll either have to start selling for pets (also reason for picking dwarf breed) or get a pet cat/dog to feed part of this meat to. Bigger isn't always better, more genetic variety in your breeding stock is usefull, smaller animals that are easier to handle (i'm not getting any younger and want to keep doing this for quite some time yet), and fit stew pot/freezer fine. Also on the "hoof" food storage doesn't need a powersource and damage is way easier to fix than the freezer.

    It’ll make things easier that your buck is older -wait until at least 5 months for the doe’s. 6 months is even better. Breed one doe and then wait a day - then breed the next doe to ensure your bucks fertility. This will make for better size litters.

    That’s a great question thank you for asking In my experience breeding your rabbits in the same cage for 30 minutes will prevent your doe from going to the bathroom and flushing the bucks sperm out-four hours later test breed again - this will improve the litter size-if the doe is unwilling or aggressive then remove your buck immediately-and mark the calendar If she lifts again keep your buck in the cage for 30 more minutes at the most or until she becomes unwilling to breed Using young does -first 2 to 3 years of their breeding life/cycle will be best for high numbers and getting the most doe’s out of the litters

  • @TheRabbitryCenter

    @TheRabbitryCenter

    4 жыл бұрын

    A great way to start out your production is with 2 doe and a buck. Breed one doe wait a day and on day 2 breed the next doe. You'll have 2 does kindling at the same time and this way you can foster if needed. Also if one doe doesn't have her litter for what ever reason your not waiting another month. If you process these rabbits maybe sell a few to cover feed cost and think you can handle more. Then give it a whirl. But be careful with jumping into a 2 buck 4 doe production because it can take a lot of time, feed and energy. If you want a little more info on breeding and meat production you can watch this video below. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lImGlo9-n7SqgNY.html

  • @TheRabbitryCenter

    4 жыл бұрын

    well he'd have to wean at 4 weeks due to the new litters arrival but this won't hurt the kits. In nature a rabbit will abandon a litter at 4 weeks. That's why a lot of people start finding those little bunnies around in may and june. They are on their own now and kinda confused how to feed and what a where to go. Rabbits in the wild are usually bred within a day or two from kindling. If you breed a rabbit like this you'll get high numbers for about 2 years and then the litter numbers will go down. She'll live but just not have big numbers for long stretches. Ive had a lot of luck breeding my does at 4 weeks when she still has her kits in the cage with her. Remove her breed her in the bucks cage and return her to her kits for two more weeks.

    If the female makes noises and stays away from the male or makes noises at the male who then calms down she isn't ready and telling the male they aren't getting any. First are they healthy not too fat? How much light are they getting 11+hrs straight? Are you breeding early or late in the day....sun up and sun set tends to go better than mid day. Good weather also is better than bad weather. Are you making sure they get enough vitamin K and E? Spinch is naturally full of the good stuff and a large pinch with is all they need for a week straight giving once a day. Lastly are you sure they are different sex? Not 2 boys or 2 girls.....mix ups do happen.

    Great channel. Lots in common. I have 9 does. I like to breed 2 at a time. And pace where I have 2 litters every 2 weeks. I average 4 litters per doe a year. I wean at 6 weeks and rebreed right away if I have room. I wish I had 2 cages per doe. I would have that but I keep buying rabbits or keeping growouts to replace mom and then sent replace. Haha rabbit math.

I've researched that's not safe as cooked bone (rabbit or chicken) will actually splinter and cause digestive issues. Also, do you feed in ounces? Sorry, I've only ever fed kibble and REALLY want to start feeding a more natural way. I completely understand about feeding them more then rabbit. We've got goats on the way and always get a steer and hog every year also. In addition, we're friends with a butcher who is about an hour away who will gladly give anything he's dispensing with for the pups. Glad to have him on board. 😃❤

    Depends on your rabbit. She may have a good litter and nurse them like a pro and everything will be fine. But she may have a few out of the nest box and lose some. I always try to prepare myself for the worse case scenario. My does usually kindle in the middle of the night and I notice the litter in the morning. So what happens when rabbits are bred too early? Even though rabbits are capable of having litters before 6 months it sometimes take longer to grow out to their full potential. Sometimes the result of early pregnancies is they don't ever reach their full potential size. Some folks claim that they start their does earlier in order to get better litter numbers the following litter. Regardless if you start early or not the litter numbers will start around 2-5. The litter numbers will increase with every litter there after. Just keep her on a healthy diet and don't try to over feed her in order to feed her freakishly hungry needs. She's going to be a cage door stalker when it's feeding time. Good luck with your litter.

    Hey, people use Sheds or barns. Why not? Iv'e never bred rabbits indoors but I'd recommend keeping them either in or out and not mixing it up. Rapid change will shock a rabbits climate calibration system and they could die from stress. But climate controlled indoors seems like a safe bet. It just might take a little more cleaning. Good Luck!

    I've never kept rabbits indoors and I wouldn't want to give you advice on something I'm not experienced in. But If were to try it, you said your rabbits roams then its safe to assume it has a litter box or food and water area. I'd try placing a Big T.V. size box 3'x4' x 6"-8" tall in a quiet place. Maybe even entertain moving food and water near the future kindle site. I'd put some hay in the box. Just a couple inches. I'd Place a nest box within that box and maybe you'll get lucky. Give it a whirl. If it goes Good or bad, its still experience and you'd only get better next time. Worse case scenario she'd probably kindle in your closet and may have a placenta stain to clean up. Good luck.

    Yes mam. Some big commercial productions do that as well. Rabbits in the wild will abandon their litter at 4 weeks because they are pregnant with in a day or two of kindling. I wouldn't recommend that either because your litters will benefit greatly staying with mom a little longer. They have a stronger immune systems being able to nurse a couple weeks longer and start eating and drinking water gradually. But by week six mamas milk is dried up and she's 2 weeks pregnant and ready for some alone time.

Are the ears loppy or stand straight up? This will narrow the search as well. Is the fur long or short is it especially silky soft. Without a rabbit to compare this fur to it may be difficult and you'll have trouble knowing if it's purebred but you can definitely narrow it down to a few breeds. Just spend a little time learning about those breeds that share your rabbits similarities.
