I have wanted to add a second breeding pair to my rabbitry, but am not confident with linebreeding so my question is where in the process would you get another breeding pair, assuming that I use this flowchart attached? I'm thinking from D & F or J & H because with both pair, you are getting...

I've now experienced a new behavior that i cant make any sense of. I've recently lost 2 due to what I can only guess is starvation. It started a while ago, I started to see alot of the feed on the drop board and I thought it was just an aggressive feeding frenzy. One day a new doe died and when...

I was wondering if anybody would humor a few questions about housing? Let me set up my scene: I want to raise for meat with one buck and 2 does. Thinking about the medium breeds: NZ white, Rex, Californians, Champagne and the like. I want to have one doe with kits at a time. When i harvest the...
