You are a very lucky person with Rabbits like that! Good Luck this year on your breeding...Thanks for explaining...: )

Are you saying you can produce a 5 lb Rabbit at 8-9 weeks?? It takes me 11-12 weeks with top bred Commercial New Zealand Whites..??

Thanks to everyone. I think some of you may be right about the heat stroke. You know usually when it comes to "Meat Rabbits" things like this doesn't bother me but this time it did. She was such a great Doe and usually have around 8 kits.......I guess I am very lucky, I have some of her...

Judy, that is Outstanding! Wish I could achieve that, it takes my Pure White New Zealands around 10 wks to come up with that weight. Please keep us informed of their future weight.Oh yea, what cross are they? Very good Job and keep it up! ;)

Lamb's Quarters for sure!

My NZW Doe was due to have kits a few days ago and her stomach was very big and I was excited!. So, a couple of days before she was to have the kits I threw in a bunch of hay and a box. She, as usual started to grab hay in her mouth and put in the box, this would have been the 29th day. I put a...

I use WD-40. I have used it off and on for years. Really nice now that it comes with a straw. I know some people are going to say that "it's bad for Rabbits" but I have used it off and on for 25 years with no harmful effects. When you first detect them spray a short spray inside the ears, then...

"Pen Pals" 16% Protein...Seems to be working pretty good!

What kind of Rabbit got the Dog Pregnant? Just Kidding! Hope everything goes alright!

Back when I used to raise Meat Rabbits 15 years ago (Which I just started Back Raising) but, I can not find these breeds now, I am raising (NZW). Wish I had took some photos of this cross, they were beautiful and very "Meaty"...So, for right now, I am just settling on NZW, which are fine meat...

One of my NZ does had kits last nite, she had 9 kits. Went out this morning to see if she had them. I noticed I didn't see any of the fur moving? There were no babies in the Fur, I reached down to the front of the box on the inside and found them they were all dead. Last nite the temps got down...

Yes, I did! Mike Fulton, is a real nice owner and operator of Crossroads Rabbitry! If some of you have never seen his operation, it is a sight to behold.. I have never seen so many Rabbits in my life. I could have called Mike, but I figured y'all would know just as well. Thanks to everyone who...

I have 2 NZW Does and 1 NZW Buck....I bought them from a Commercial Breeder this Spring when they were 12 weeks old (they are 8 months old now). I have been told and read where some Rabbit people say, if you don't breed them by 6 months old they will never breed or you will have a hard time...

I have raised "Meat Rabbits" off and on for 50 years and I really don't believe they know they are fixing to be killed.......It takes no time for Gas to build up!

I have raised "Meat Rabbits" several times, I think this may be my 3rd time. I love Fried Rabbit, with homemade biscuits,fried Potatoes and homemade milk gravy, YEEEE HAWWW!! So, a friend and I had heard about a breeder, down close to Heflin, Alabama, "Crossroads Rabbitry", he only raises...
