I would like to downsize, but we know how that works. I would always check in and do a lot of reading, but yes in recent times, been very busy with other stuff. I went too big to start and want the rabbits to get the best care. I provided it for them, but cannot do it any longer. Thanks<br...

I remove my babies about 4-6 weeks. I make sure they are all eating pellet and drinking and I dont see them trying to grab a nursing all the time. I start with maybe half the litter (biggest ones first) then pull the rest few days later.

You would first need to call your local zoning office. Not to get you side tracked, but you need to find out if processing/butchering is even allowed in your zoning. If so, you may have to get a special variance with the city, which requires much work with fees and requirements. Around my neck...

Read into the Alum tanning. Aluminum sulfate is considered a chemical, but it is used in many ways. I went and just started my first batch of skins few days ago. I got the Alum at Ace Hardware local for $9 for 4 lbs. As long as you use a stirring stick and wear gloves when handling the skins...

Sounds good. What you do is do the rabbits (just like do the dew, hehe) THEN, get into the live sales slowly, if you have a freezer full or if needing to recoup some costs, etc. Remember opportunities will always coming knocking and normally when you are ready. Do not jump in the deep end if...

Look for a farm supply, I have local Tractor Supply that I buy pellets from store brand for $15/50lbs It is low protein 15% but also use timothy/orchard grass. Also I add in BOSS and rolled oats (little bit) FOr my does, I just started using 18% protein since I am pushing them a lil hard with...

Hello Kelly, Many factors go into pricing, but mainly due to your costs in raising the rabbits. Find out your feed costs and then check local pricing of live meat rabbits. 4-6 months sounds like no profit is to be made, and not sure on that size unless for pet/show or breeding stock. For a...

Since you brought it up (hehe) I would also look into SF breeders. I have quite a collection of them, and they are looking awesome right now with their winter coat. Also no complaints on their behavior, as they are on the top of my list for kissing butt, lol so nice! SF has silvering that...

Looks good! I did my first on news year day and then the other 6 this past sunday. They were 12/13 weeks and were not gaining. My first litter(s) If you have any place to hang them when skinning/gutting, it makes it go fast. A simple nail to hang cord from, make two slipknots for the feet...

Ohh my! I put in the 5 day olds...within 20-30 seconds she was in!!! She nursed for about 20-30 minutes until I thought it was time. I put in some food and calf manna and she jumped out. I pulled the nest box and checked on the kits. They were all wet and clean and barely moving, no popping. I...

Yes, if the suckers did it, I would catch that and stop that nonsense. Really hope you can build your dream area, so it can deter the dirty rascals. added: awe, blue kits...well if it happened, maybe it will happen again. Breed to same buck!

MSD, hmmm...I never thought of that. I think I will give that a try, but I am kinda afraid. I checked them and they seem to be getting fed (both litters) and the new kits now have some energy. If they werent fed, I dont think they would be as energetic as they are. I can put the older kits in...

This was Queens second litter. First litter was 2 kits that made it and were fostered to my other doe, which raised 7 total 5 of her own and Queens 2. I was thinking this second time would go better but it did not. Second litter for my other doe...and she kindled in the nest!...she had two...

SO my "Queen mama" NZW doe had kits. I was expecting it and was going home early to catch it for the whole week. Yesterday I went home to find kits all over the place. None of them were moving and I gathered them up quickly in my shirt. (its cold here!) They are in my bunny transformed...

First time and inexperienced has a lot to do with it. I had a similar kindle yesterday. Sorry to hear about the horror, but yes you should rebreed her and try again.

Any silver hairs in the coat? Hard to tell from pic Looks a bit like silver fox, but ears seem too small. Maybe SF mix?

5 lbs doesnt sound so far away at this point!! Yes they are growling like weeds! Congrats

Very nice and very cute!!! The cals are sweet looking with their ears. My NZW were 5 weeks yesterday, and boy are they growing fast!!! Hope you enjoy! btw, nice pics for a cell phone.
