When starting a meat rabbit project/rabbitry/etc, how many rabbits/cages do you get? I heard a trio is a good start and add more later. With cages I know it's one per rabbit, but how many grow out cages do I need? How do you figure out if you're saving money/breaking even/etc.? I figured I buy...

You may remember I posted about what some good meat breeds are. I got mostly NZ, Cals, Florida White, and Champagne. Well, there's unlimited NZ and Cals here. No luck on Florida White. Found 3 breeders for American Blue. But then read somewhere else that since AB are harder to come by there's...

I'm torn between a parrotlet and a rabbit. Hubby has low noise tolerance, so thinking bird may not work. Rabbit I could have for a pet or food. But since we're on a month to month lease, I don't know what the future holds for housing for the rabbit. So I thought of butchering him/her. Well that...

Browsing through for sale adds on fb when I came across a breeder selling hybrid breeds. 1/2 cali, 1/2 flemish. I've always wanted a flemish, but not enough room let alone $ for food. So when I seen this cross, I thought this is a possibility. Has anyone seen/had/have one? The breeder doesn't...

Hello again. So I've been smitten by the looks/size of lionheads. Since I've never owned one and am trying to learn more, I though it best to ask their owners. Is your lion affectionate? If yes, how so? Is he/she timid? Is he/she outgoing? Is he/she easily handled by your child/ren? Do you...

I love the look of lionheads, and their size is great too. I found a breeder who raises them outside year round so they should be acclimated. But I still worry about all that hair. Does anyone keep theirs outdoors in hot weather? I'm in Texas and it can get into the triple digits. I plan on...

Thinking of making 2-3 cages. Size wise thinking 18x24x24 or 18x24x30, haven't chosen a breed yet. Looked on Klubertanz website and it's $77.10 for 50' 1/2"x1/2"x18" 16 gauge. I'd hate to see the cost on shipping. A cage on their site for a 24x24x18 1/2"x1" for the floor and 2"x1" sides. With...

Pretty new to rabbits. I'm looking for a pet and/or meat breed. Want a breed that is heat tolerant(I live in Texas), gentle, friendly, affectionate (in rabbit terms), puts up with being picked up/held/cuddled/petted. Like I said I'm new to the rabbit world, so obviously my wants may be off. I...

So I'm looking at Klubertanz.com and came accross their h-series (rectangular, hanging cages w/o pans). Planning on housing an American Blue buck. So thinking of a 24"x30" cage size? I notice it has only one door. My arms measure about 20"? So I'm wondering if I'm going to have a hard time...

I'm not able to breed rabbits, due to the hubby not wanting people on our property, plus we're renting. And we have one vehicle so it'd be hard to schedule times to meet customers. I want more than one rabbit though, so I thought of getting 2 bucks. I would keep them in separate cages side by...

Yesterday when I was leaving to run errands I seen/heard a stray cat. It got to me to thinking more about other predators. So far I've just seen the cats, one opossum while driving down the road close to home, and months back there were 2-3 wondering dogs. I don't have electricity so electric...

I talked to a breeder who said A.Blues have great temperament, good meat rabbits, heat tolerant, and produce large litters. I googled the breed and it looks since Cali and NZ the Blue have become threatened? And it's hard to find breeders? Thoughts on the breed? Thank you.

So far I know of Cali, and NZ. Are there other types that are good meat production too? I'm also looking for a rabbit to be pet quality too. For the cages what sizes do you use? And what do you all have in the cages? I'm assuming hay rack, pellet feeder, water bottle/crock, but any toys? With...

So I thought a 30x24x18 was adequate until I was on another forum and they posted a link to Pintrest board of Hall of shame/fame on rabbit cages. Also found a website where UK hutch min is 6'x2'x2' with a 8'x2' run and the ASPCA (US) size is 4'x'2'x2' with a large run. Also, no wire floors. On...

So far I've gathered the following tips -In shaded area -House down the area under the cage(s) -Misting their ears -Frozen 2L bottles -Gallon/tupperware ice molds -Cold tile -Fan -Ice in water bottles -Water in crocks -Shade cloth If the cage is in the shade, do I still need a shade cloth? I...

Hello. I'm not allowed to keep rabbits indoors due to the smell/small space (living in a travel trailer). The place I'm renting now has a small area of land. Later in the future if I have to go to a RV park, I'm not allowed to have anything outside. So there would be no place for the rabbits. So...
