So, this is my 2nd breeding with this doe. The first time she had 6 with a mix of black or white. This time she had 9. And one of them is 3 colors. The doe is black with some specks of white. The buck is a REW. He is huge. So, since I am new, to rabbits, I kind get breeds names mixed up with...

I think the age of the rabbit is a factor. I can do a 10 week old in 10 minutes. But a 6 month old takes me longer. The skin don't come off as easy. Then if they want the skin off pretty, that's another factor. At the end of the day, I think it's a great idea.

Congratulations. What a nice start.

I don't know if there is something contagious going on cause I am new to rabbits. BUT, I did have a goat, that got an abscesson her cheek. I also lanced it and nothing came out. So I flushed it with a mixture of peroxide and sterile water. Then stuff came out. There was blood, but puss too...

CORRECTION - Well it looks like they were on track after all. They were 9 weeks - not 10 weeks. Just realized that this morning. I'm gonna have to keep better records.

I never knew it was a phrase or ever seen it til your post.

Great plan.

The 4 were 5 lbs+ but not 5 1/2 pounds. Don't know the exact oz.s just not the target weight.

First timer here. I am learning, but my first litter 4 of them didn't reach the 5lb. 8 oz. at 10 weeks. They only made 5 lbs. Could be the way I feed or my breeders. CA doe with rex buck. But by 3 days later they did. When I slaughtered, the finished weight was around 2 lbs. 6 oz. There was a...

Congratulations

I have hutch envy.

Sounds yummy. I'm to process 6 or 7 this weekend. Ima do this.

It dries pretty fast. I was thinking maybe try it, let it dry then give him some leaves or something to distract him.

I was thinking about this. For years I have delt split skin on my thumbs. Recently I started using liquid bandage, it's the best my thumbs have been in years. I wonder if that could speed your buck healing. Or if they would spend the day trying to lick it off.

My husband donates his time to distribute food to the needy. The different looking food gets donated to food banks. 2 legged carrots, odd shaped potatoes, double onions, over ripe or under ripe, bruised, sometimes moldy fruits and vegetables. I think there is a tax write off for the donation to...

My husband was on a mission to eradicate the freeloading bunnies from the farm. He would shoot them with a pellet gun. I found blood in many places when I processed them. Didn't know their age. So I let rigor mortis pass then stewed them, or pressure cooker them or sous vide-ed them. Tastes like...

Picture please

What kind of rabbits do you have? How many?

Thank you. So I'm not the only one.
