    "New Rare Breeds"... Are Everywhere....

    I guess I'm the only one that posts pictures of cute mutt meat bunnies and says "these are meat mutts, nothing special, but they are cute" and people still buy em up. lol

    Well our first 2 litters did not happen :(

    My mini rex male was bred to 3 females. Those 3 females gave birth to 40 babies last time they where bred. This time. I got ONE baby out of all 3. ONE. I feel your pain.

    Well that sucks..

    Super tame, retics are very docile, originally when imported they where all wild caught and mostly pretty mean. Captive bred animals are great and easy to work with. All my animals are very tame. My 18 foot female is just shy of 5 years old now, my other female at 3 years is 15ft now.. I also...

    Calling Millinex! Average cost of rabbit for snake food?

    I consider dogs dangerous animals too but I don't think everyone should rehome their dogs....

    Calling Millinex! Average cost of rabbit for snake food?

    She's 18ft. I handle her alone often. She's let out sometimea but mostly in the cage.

    Calling Millinex! Average cost of rabbit for snake food?

    Generally I can order them/similar animals for between $1.50-2.50 a lb. Frozen, whole, it really depends. If you charge anywhere near what it would cost to just buy a rabbit from a pet store, you won't get business. I charge significantly less. If you market them at $1-2 a lb you'll usually be...

    what are these worth = snakes

    Depending on your area, pies are still pretty pricy. $500 is very reasonable for a pied off craigslist, it's breeding size even, and $500 is low end IMO. If the snake has papers, you're looking at maybe $200ish, no papers it's worth $75. Papers, worth maybe $200-300 range. No papers $75-100...

    Feeding them together....

    I have a group of 8 living together in an 8' hutch. I just place a couple big pans in and let them at it, they do fine and will sort out any problems themselves.

    Newly gifted rabbits, curious what could be wrong with them.

    Update: 3 randomly died, the last was kept outside in a holding QT cage with 2 other females I got the same day from the same breeder. The last one molted very bad, had a lot of fur loss, and I decided to cull it rather than letting it be so cold half bald, it wasn't making any improvement. No...

    Well that sucks..

    This one was taken by my 18ft female reticulated python, I was going to offer it to my 14-15' range female, but she is currently refusing food in anticipation for a nice clutch of eggs so the bigger girl was next in line. It should hold her over for... 2 weeks maybe. LOL

    Do you try to control competition in your area?

    Depends on the competition. Some competition is good... It allows me rabbits from sources other than myself, for costs cheaper than I would spend to produce them, without taking up my space.. I can't keep up with my demand in most cases, for pets, breeders, meat rabbits, snake food... So I sell...

    Well that sucks..

    Eh, I raise rabbits for meat, for my snakes and monitors, this female had no interest in breeding so I table bred her, maybe my mistake breeding her, I'm not sure. She was a nice rabbit, did well with the dog, spent lots of time in the yard, was one of 3 in the whole group I would have held back...

    Who are you selling too?

    I sell to people who hand me money.... Snake breeders, meat people, people who want a nice pet, as long as I'm making money I'm not overly concerned. Most of mine are on the cheaper end of things though.. $15-30 each...

    The other animals....

    Thanks Wyld, I hope so to, she's accepting food again so who knows.. some retics eat all throughout being gravid some don't. I'm hoping she just is eating while gravid, and I get some cool stuff this spring.. No problem Cspr, it's pretty staggering how many people think they are killers, even...

    Well that sucks..

    Lost my big flemish giant doe last night.. Apparently she gave premature birth to 2 kits and died in the process, went out to water everyone and found her lifeless. Any ideas why it was so difficult for her or why it killed her? She's a big girl, the kits where pretty small... dunno why it'd be...

    Telly why... sell for $5?

    I breed many rabbits. If I sell them at 4-5 weeks old at $5 each, and I have a litter of 8-14, I can make money, not much, but I can turn a fast profit and be done with it... but why? Snake breeders will pay more (I know, I'm one of them), pet stores will pay more, people as pets will pay...

    Won't hurt them like this. Snakes are safe, but if I can fix these I'm happy

    Never give up right?

    Good job! Came out the other morning to find 7 kits "dead" on wire, and very cold. Decided to bring them in and warm them up and feed them off to one of the snakes, and one moved a leg, so I decided to let them thaw and see what happens. 6/7 came to live. 5/7 made it to day 5 now :)
