Hello to DK! I have a trio of New Zealand Reds, one of which has had six kits, and the other which I hope is bred. I have a pair of American Blues and the doe has seven kits that are 12 hours younger than the New Zealand's. I have a black New Zealand doe which I hope is bred to a 3/4 New...

Covered up in rabbits so doing great! Thanks for asking, glad to see you here! 🥳

Welcome! I'm TK. Are you my sister from another mister? 😁

Do you know how many you're getting? Congratulations! 🥳 I'm a little bit jelly! 😉

About 4 years ago I decided since I'd moved to a larger more rural property for retirement that I would start a bigger garden. That huge investment of money, time, and trial and error resulted in a year-round garden and some fruit trees. Then I decided that if we were going a small homestead...

Oooh, I like the birthday present aspect! I have one coming up that should justify some new KW cages! 🥳

Thank you both so much! I first thought it was kits being latched onto teats because of their age, but I have a baby scraper on the front of the nest box, and then suddenly they were ALL out! They were following Mama around and some were trying to nurse. She gets a good tablespoon of oats and...

I have young New Zealands, I'm waiting til a solid 6 months for the does.

Welcome! Yes, research first, ask tons of questions, then set up, then rabbits, then breeding, lol. 😁

I have six twelve day old New Zealand kits that have been popping out occasionally for the last couple days, but now they ALL insist on being out so yesterday I took the nest box out and cleaned it, put fresh hay in, put most of Mama's hair pads back in just holding back what was wet. Then I put...

So just FYI, I went to Klubertanz and added up all the cage parts KW uses, plus two 50' wire rolls in 14 gauge GAW wire in the proper sizes, and adding everything up it came out to just about $100 under what it would cost me to buy the three stacker 30" x 36" x 18" cages. That's using 14 gauge...

That's a triple stacker right? How do you like the accessibility? I'm thinking I would like two of those eventually so that I can keep my rabbitry the size it currently is, but I'm not sure about being able to reach the bottom cage if I set it up so that I can reach the top cage.. 😬

I'm investing in the cages up front because I don't want them on the ground. We have Valley Fever and I don't know what else here, and a ton of predators including cougars, foxes, raccoons, hawks, plus rattlesnakes, and there's nothing for them to eat on the ground except stickers. I have a...

Good luck! 🤞

I bought two KW cages that are 30x36x18 for my pregnant does that cost me $460 without the nest boxes, feed bowls, hay racks, and resting mats. So to me that's still a big win! 😉

18 holes added so cheap! YAY! 🥳

I'm glad the thread was brought back to the surface because I read all of it and it was very informative. Of course prices are way different than they were 10 years ago, but easy to convert to current prices. I'm very happy to be selling bunny berries to local gardeners. I asked my Poodles'...

Reporting back that I have been able to get interest in 5 gallon buckets full of clean poop for $20. Most are buying multiple buckets which I discount to $18 to $15 depending on the buyer. They bring their own buckets and I save my feed bags now to fill up for them. We have made about $110 so...

I'm in California and it's fairly hard to find quality meat rabbits. I'm interested in the heritage breeds, I have a pretty good American Blue pair but my buck is related to my doe. I just found an adult American Blue buck from a reputable breeder and will have to travel minimum four hours one...

I'm not sure what you want to sprout, but I use Johnny's Seeds online. I look for bulk organic which is much cheaper than packets. Depending on seed size I will buy a quarter to a full pound bag. I haven't done a lot of sprouting although I have a setup for it. I do have a good garden patch...
