Hey everyone! I sold my entire rabbit setup in Idaho and now I'm surrounded by boxes in a 4th floor apt in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm actually in a area just outside Ft. Lauderdale called Lauderhill. There are tons of Jamaicans and other Islanders here. I went to a local Meat and Fish market and was...

Hey everyone, I haven't been around for a while, but I wanted to post here because we are moving to Ft. Lauderdale and I need to sell my rabbits. I'd love to sell my whole set-up: shelter, cages, rabbits, shelves, cabinets, etc. Contact me if your interested in that. Below is a list of my...

I have one rabbit from two litters born 9 weeks ago. I sold all the others to the feed store at 6 weeks old. Since I only had one of this age group and wasn't going to re-breed the mom (stopped for summer), I decided to just leave them together. I was in the barn earlier, just sitting and...

I bred my NZW, Sophia to my new Beveren, Frank. She is 16 months old and 11lbs. He is 4 yrs old and just over 7lbs. She is difficult to get bred because she is so dominant. I don't think he covered he more than once and I was expecting a small litter. I placed my hand in and it felt like a...

A friend of mine wants to split a ton of feed with me. A local company here in Boise that's known for quality pet foods has a rabbit food and will mix a custom batch at 18% protein for $11 a #50 bag. They use human grade vitamins, the smallest amount of molasses possible and they don't...

We processed some fryers last weekend. We use a pellet gun. We placed the rabbit in an open exercise pen for a bit and then DH places the gun at the back of the head. The rabbit goes down instantly and does it's hind leg kicking thing for a bit. We touched the eye to be sure it was dead and...

I have a doe that's 1/2 Beveren and she is Vienna marked. I would like to get a Buck to breed to her and hopefully get some blue eyed kit. Actually I wanted a pair of Beverens, but there are not in this area. I found someone not to far away who has some but she didn't want to sell to me...

I just pruned my Fig and was wondering if I can give them to the rabbits. I tried to google it but just got a bunch of sites about rabbits that had pictures as in "fig. 6"! Does anyone know? It's the fruit kind of Fig, not the houseplant Ficus. It's a Chicago Hardy. Ficus Carica Kat<br...

Ok, I'm not really in the rabbit selling business. I occasionally list on Craig's List, but I mostly just raise meat rabbits for my family. On Tuesday night I sold 3 older Rex (15 weeks old) for $50 and was very happy. I also found out that I was out of rabbit food so Wednesday morning I went...

Here is the runt from Donna's litter at 3 weeks old. It's growing fine, just smaller than the others. I call him Gorgeous George. :D The rest of the litter is all blue or maybe even lilac torts. What color is this? Is it a version of the black or chocolate tort? Donna is Chocolate Satin...

My French Angora litter is 8 weeks old now. The REW buck is the sweetest thing! I found someone on Craig's List looking for Angoras. She was so happy when I called her and told her I had some available. She is supposed to come next weekend and get all three for $100. The REW Buck The Fawn...

I was entering information about litter born last week in my calender book and noticed something odd about the three litter born this past weekend. Each of the three does that delivered gave birth EXACTLY 10 weeks from their previously litter. In other words I was writing in when Donna's...

I have three does due tomorrow and as usual I was late getting the nest boxes in. Had a Migraine yesterday and didn't get to it. Anyway, today I was busy getting my tax stuff together for an appointment at 3:00. Before I left I made sure to put those boxes in, especially Donna's since she...

Yesterday I posted about Sophia's litter and how I planned to keep a buck from one of these kits that was 1 lb at 3 weeks. They are pure NZW. Today I weighed the sole surviving kit from Delilah. 8 1/2 weeks and it weighs 4lbs 11oz. It's wasn't the only kit in the womb, there were eight. Six...

I weighed Sophia's kits today since they are 3 weeks old. She is my 11lb NZW. She had 5 and is fostering an Angora. I did not use the Angora in my figures. 3 of the little buggers are exactly 1 lb! The other two are 1 to 2 oz less, so the average for the lot ended up at 15.6 oz. I'm pretty...

I really enjoyed this video on breaking down a rabbit. I loved the way he took out the backbone and left a nice boneless package to roll up. And the ribs are so .... I don't know the word. If you served that, your guests would be so impressed and it really wasn't that hard. At least he makes...

My French Angora Fiona had her 1st litter just over 2 weeks ago. 3 were born dead and 4 were born alive, but then I lost one to the cold, so down to 3, but they are doing well. I posted pictures in the gallery under Wool Rabbits. One is a REW and the other two look like types of chinchilla...

I found a cool website today. You may have seen the new cookbook "A Pioneer Woman Cooks" by Ree Drummond, this is her website http://thepioneerwoman.com/. It has recipes, info on homeschooling, gardening & photography. Just thought I'd share. Kat

Here is a very positive article on eating rabbit meat. http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/arti ... for-dinner Kat

Not sure where to post this here on this new forum, but these are meat rabbits so... I had previously posted pictures asking what color my kits were and got the answer of blue or black torts. There was some question as to the intensity of some. Here are the updated pic of them now as 6 week...
