My first litter(NZ Whites)is growing so fast, Im wondering how I should determine when to butcher. They are 8 weeks today, I weighed them and they run from 4#8oz forthe biggest, to 2#4oz for the runt. The runt is the only one under 4#.
I was surprised they weighed that much so soon. Should I butcher at 5#, or wait until 12 weeks? What is the best avg weight to butcher at? The litter is 6 rabbits, I just split them 3 to a cage yesterday.
