Agree, that's the creepiest thing I've seen, his eyes and stuff. No thanks 😕

I do not. TNPTPH lives on more than 100 acres

What kind of rabbits are those? I've never heard of them before. I have NZ, Silver fox, and lion head. I'll be getting angora in the spring.

Thank you for all the input and ideas! I think I've decided on going with a cage set up with a play area. All the cages will have gates that can be opened when I want to leave specific rabbits or groups out. Like I said our area is in our barn with a concrete floor underneath so I won't have to...

That was my original plan and then my husband told me how much that would cost and well that's not realistic, unfortunately.

Yeah there is plenty of room to separate them like that. I don't want to be 100% in control because I do like the idea of natural breeding being in my herd also.

Thank you for the videos! My bunnies love being handled and come to me if they are out running around. I'm thinking of doing a modified colony/cage thing and putting them in cages most of the time but also having a play area set up to rotate them through. That way I can control breeding and keep...

Thank you so much for the insight! If I do a colony they will be inside the barn away from predators and other wild animals. I feel like colonies will take more upkeep and there will be a lot more questioning if my girls are pregnant or not if I don't separate them somehow from the bucks...

I need the pros and cons between a cage set up and a colony setup. I was 100% going for a colony and then free breeding and fighting has me questioning that. Give me all the good and bad of both please!!

Yeah, I'll be keeping my angoras all to myself and only selling the fiber.

Hi! What kind of rabbits are you raising?

No, I didn't thank you. I think for the time being we are going with suspended cages and just doing tractors for getting them out for fresh grass. Thank you! I can't believe they did that, how crazy!

Thanks for all the good tips and advice. What do you mean by biosecurity? Also what's a visiting bunny (wild or just one a friend may bring that won't be staying)? We live on a working cattle farm so we eat the cows we raise. The kids knew when we brought rabbits in that they would eventually...

Our newest additions. My kiddos named them...Jackie Chan (silver fox), Simba and Fuzz Butt.

I'm sure I'll have to end up deciding on a breed too because I'll want to have all the bunnies if not.
