Rabbit meat needs to be supplemented with a bit of other animal fat, as it can cause brain starvation. Or at least that is what I have been told.

You have it all. My dogs and even the cat loves slaughter time. An the ol'man is slowly getting a pair of rabbit fur pants for winter

I feed my herd 1/2 cup per rabbit, 1 cup per pregnant/kitted doe. Unlimited timothy grass and fresh grass twice a day. I get excellent fryers and happy rabbits all around, come winter my breeders all get 1 cup and timothy grass, while my house rabbits remain on 1/2 cup or they become plump.

I have never been able to put bucks together. I have two very sweet-natured, loving bucks that attack each other every time they accidentally get let together by my daughter. I also have a neutered male that is incredibly territorial. He attempts to fight my house buck every time through the...

okay, this is a morning Late. we have our bunnies. THE real surprise is the fact this doe has always given me babies on day 30 as well as a litter of 10. Well here we are day 34 and a litter of 5, I guess everyone is allowed an off day LOL. She is still one of the best mommas I have.

I got a doe from a breeder that never handles his stock, and with patience and plenty of dandelion greens, she is now looking for attention and pushes her nose out to be petted. And my daughter caught a young feral doe of about 6 months of age that now loves her to pieces, even though we breed...

I honestly don't think you should take them from momma until the earliest late 5th week as that is when momma starts to wean them herself. I personally take them at 7 weeks.

I am having this problem with an experienced doe, this is her 5th litter she should have had them two days ago. she is healthy, active and has a beautiful nest made. Any Ideas?

That said, I do notice my does are much more into my buck with the lengthening days of spring, so I suppose some small amount of seasonal shift might be helpful...our winters here are DARK. I am up at about 48° N, so we have a big day length shift at the equinoxes. Not looking forward to it...

Diatenaus (spelled phonically) earth food grade. I have had a flea problem myself and this is what I have rubbed into their backends and have had success with

Welcome, been at raising rabbits for a while for meat and it has helped my pocketbook greatly. Since finding this sight I have learned that I have only more to learn. LOL! Nice to meet you.

So cute. Even as a meat breeder, there is nothing cuter than baby bunnies.

We attempted to give everyone food names but we now have Luna, Screech, and Trouble to go with Pepper and Cocoa

Elbow grease, and Simple green is what I used in my cages when this happens.

Does anyone know of a way to get rid of fleas? My cousin brought over her pup and now my Double maned lion is an itchy boy.

The oldest Doe I have at the moment is 3 years, I only allow my does to have 3 to 4 litters a year. I like to give them time to recover.

Mostly Nest Eye and small litters

I personally do not inbred and have not had to line breed as of yet. My first does (Found out that one was a buck - I got them at about 7 weeks old and was first time sexing rabbits) I didn't know they were inbred until later, and didn't know that the one I got them from had no clue about...

They may stay hazel blue color, which I have had happen, but most likely they are blue. I have bred my Mutt breed - brown eyed breeders throw me more then one greyish and blue eyed kits.
