Broomstick. If using the "whack to head" method, I whack in base of neck, not in the head. Have seen others fail in the head when the base of neck is 99.9%

Since you bring it up, what happens if you mix the "do not mix" colors? I typically raise just new zealand whites, so that is out of my scope of knowledge.

Unfortunately I have not found a way around the occasional kit drug out of nest box. I have however gotten pretty good with "bottle" feeding cold lethargic kits I find on wire. We use a plunger style medicine dispenser, same as our young kids use. We use DuMor milk replacer. Basically like...

Each time I find one and get to think its the next one for me, I find a diff breed. Will be at a show in 2 weeks and I think that will definately help me decide my text breed.

Dood, I currently use mainly pelletized feed but would also like to branch off to foraged based or a combination. I just have read so much more about NOT feeding forage based that I have not pulled the trigger. Maybe the next time I keep 2 replacement does from the same litter, I will put...

Other than the typical NZ and Cali's, what breeds do you guys/gals like for meat breeders? Feel free to include their bonuses such as great fur, good feed conversion, etc. I am looking to add something colorful to my NZ barn. Number one question from kids....."Why are all the rabbits white...

I have done hours of searching!! I will continue until I find someone!! Thanks.

Let me reword the question. I am not only looking for a processor. But a wholesale purchaser if that helps. Or any auctions or farmers markets in the eastern half of PA that I can use as an outlet for my excess meat rabbits. I am not looking to sell thousands at a batch and not looking to...

I appreciate the fact you took your time on the demonstration. Noobies will learn much more from this than if you did it quick fashion in 4 or 5 minutes. I know my uncle can break down a dozen rabbits in about an hour. But when I watch him he goes so fast I have a tough time learning what he...

This past fall I had a NZW doe, 3rd litter, that had 8 of 10 kits alive on day 38. I had pulled the next box on day 35. Thank goodness for baby saver wire.

Hello, I am new to Rabbit Talk. So sorry if this answer is already here somewhere. Does anyone know of a rabbit processor in PA that currently as of 2014 accepts rabbits? Everywhere I go online I am finding outdated information. Links that are no longer active, email addresses that do not...
