Planning on butchering our first rabbits this weekend if they don't sell before. Looking for a bacon wrapped recipe as hubs loves bacon! Thanks :)

I started out with a Californian doe that was supposed to have been bred, turns out she wasn't... My parents bought my sister a pet rabbit she didn't like it for longer than a month so I know have him also he is only 3 months old. I found a buck about 15 min a way, he is a Flemish I know they...

Well looks like I have a pretty cheap source of feed... I can't wait for all of this snow to melt and the grass to grow I think I miss it more the livestock! I will definitely supplement a lot with fresh greens... A can't imagine spending that much on feed, I don't think I would do it.. I...

oops its a 50# bag of feed :)

Okay first, I am not trying to starve my rabbits, just want to cut back on costs so I can feed a raw mainly rabbit diet to my dogs :) Right now I am feeding TSC 5# rabbit pellets,$14 a bag plus grass hay, (I pull it off of my round bales for the horses costs me $20 for 1200 # bale).... I...

Thanks every one for the replies, I think I will have a one pure bred litter between the two to sell so they will "pay for them selves" then mix them with different bucks & does and see how they affect my grow out rate. As most of my litters will go in my freezer not to pet/breeder homes. These...

I had planned to keep cheap meat mutts but I went to buy a buck and he turned out to be a Flemish Giant, I fell in love with him <3. I paid $20 for him with a pedigree... I think I want to get a doe, the same girl has a doe with pedigree for $50 It seems like an awful lot to me, but it's...

Thanks for the link I finally got it to load.... I am using wire for the sides and top from tractor supply 14g, its about .50 a foot... I won't be having any kits born in these cages, just my buck cages, and possibly grow out cages. So I went with a wire with slightly larger holes. Every one...

I bread my doe today so in 28ish days I should have babies and 12ish weeks later I should butcher, if everything goes right .. I would love to keep the hides for something I just have no idea how to go about it, I have googled it but haven't came up with any good sites... Can some one please...

I am a totally newbie when it comes to building cages, I always bought used, but I can't find any so I am looking at building.. Is 14 gauge wire strong enough? Also I am thinking about making a cage with a bottom made out of regular field fencing to use as a tractor during the warm months for my...

While thinking of different pen styles I came up with this. I will have (3) 1/4+ acre pens for my goats, fenced with 5ft woven wire. A light went off in my head, put the rabbits in with the goats! So here is my "first draft idea" I literally just came up with this 1 hour ago. -12 inches of...

My buns have spent their first full day in their colony. A couple days ago I put them in the pen to get some exercise and they didn't escape- I was amazed. This pen is about 25ftx10ft probably about 4 ft tall, it is fenced on three sides, the 4rth (long) side is my dads garage, it also has...

Thank you for all your replies :)

I am building my rabbit colony in a few days/week or so. It will have an open floor, (on the ground) I am thinking about seeding it. Should I or is this a waste, it has grass growing now. Thanks! (:

I haven't learnt how to do that yet or I would have lol... I thought if you deleted some of it, none of it would be quoted.. I learn something new every day :) I agree, guns are a great way to celebrate. :) I love to shoot! We tend to shoot on Christmas afternoon too, that started from my...

I have never heard of any one else shooting on thanksgiving! We eat a big meal normally along the lines of: Ham Turkey green beans (canned with bacon :) cottage cheese mac and cheese mashed potatoes gravy stuffing rolls coke products :) Better then s*x cake brownies éclair cake at...

Can you post a picture of this ? Thanks!

Do you give it as a shot, or pour it one them? No one I know that is my age could handle my life. It isn't easy but I love it. :) I have a Mamaw and a Papaw, two different sets of grandparents though! Grandpa sounds so weird to me.

Why you wouldn't recommend colony breeding ? Just wondering :)
