Probably should have asked how old she was before you bought her. There are other reasons why she only had two in a litter. If she has to much internal fat or maybe wasn't feed quality food. I've had does that would give me 10 or more in a litter their first year or two. But years three and four...

I like me some rabbit liver and onions! But if I see a liver that doesn't look healthy even some that do I have caught a lot of catfish on rabbit liver. Just a idea so it's not completely wasted. :rock:

Is she still eating good maybe she has a sore tooth. Or maybe try worming her.

This is funny because I have thought about Hereford rabbits to! I have mostly white rabbit's now but that's mainly because I don't want the kids getting attached to any of them. But if there was some Hereford looking meat rabbits I would have some :D I have a Hereford bull I just got 3 month...

Rabbits can deal with cold a lot better than heat! Make sure to give them shade and possibly a fan or frozen water bottles

I have meat mutts mostly nzw my nest boxes are mounted to my cages and set on a 2" steel angle that spans the two brackets Mounted to my garage. My boxes are if I remember right 14" x 15" x 12" tall with a 4 1/2" x 5" hole. Then I have some wire j clipped above the hole so I can shut my does out...

I always like to see 2 or 3 fall off's but have had several litters with just one. I think some times the does just aren't in the mood to be chased around a cage for a hour :lol: Plus I'm sure wild rabbit's just go there own way after breeding or at least the doe the buck goes looking for her...

I know or have meet several people that say they can't believe that I eat rabbit. They say their so cute how can you do it how can you kill something so cute. First off I take no pleasure in killing anything that I eat. I tell them they taste great and are healthy source of meat. My kids like to...

Are we talking 60 breeder's plus grow outs? If so it would depend on the size of cages how often you plan on breeding them how much hay your storing. If its what I'm picturing it would take a barn for sure :) I have 4 does and 1 buck and that's plenty for me but if I thought I could make some...

Don't love them anymore :lol: I almost hate my rabbit's in the winter! But they are good to me so I do my best to be good to them. I'm soooooooo ready for spring tho :D

Fire-man you are my kind of dude :lol: raising rabbits, chickens and love cat fishing! I feel like we are old friends lol. O and is that a 2" or 2 5/16" hitch :mrgreen: :beer2:

Age shouldn't matter to much with buck rabbits I know of one buck that is at least six and he can still raise to the occasion. So if he is healthy he should be good to go! Maybe try another buck, let him watch maybe he will get jealous and figure things out. If not you have yourself a pet so...

I looked up rabbit years to human years it said that she is in her 70's. I wouldn't worry because it doesn't help anything. I once had a cow that was over 19 when she died and had a calf every year and was even pregnant when she died. Slipped on some ice I tried everything to keep her going and...

I used to feed all that to my dog or use it for catfish bait! But a year or so ago I fried up some liver and onions and well the dog sure doesn't get a belly full anymore :lol:

If someone only wants to eat a few a year buying some is a better bet. If you want to eat several and have the time and space then getting a few meat rabbits works. I can't say its any cheaper raises your own but I enjoy it. That my be the most important part of raising rabbits enjoying them...

I'm with AmberRae dexter Russell's are my favorite my dad found some years ago for a dollar apiece garage sale I think they were not new but still. I've snagged two of them and have cleaned lots of catfish and butchered everything from hogs to rabbits. I think they are just a 7" fillet knife.

I always say Sun's out gun's out :lol:

My brother crossed a checkered giant with a NZ red buck and keep a couple does out of that litter. And while I like my NZW/California looking rabbits cause kids can't pinpoint one from the other :lol: My brothers does are about the nicest looking rabbits if seen. He breeds them to his Flemish...

I've culled bunnies before so don't anybody think I'm a big softy but if my does can't raise large litters then I'll be getting new does! My does have raised litters of up to 13 without problems. My culls are kits that aren't doing well or sickly but some kits won't thrive in a litter of 6...

Never had sheep so can't say one way or another with them! But I bought my girls 3 young goats last year all does that they named them Molly Brownie and Harry! :lol: the guy told me they were boar alpine cross. Borrowed the ugliest billy goat in Iowa at least he gets my vote :lol: they all...
