wrote a blog post on best practices of breeding for rabbit health.

If y'all would be so kind as to give it a read over and let me know if I should reword something, or if I missed something I'd be appreciative.

thanks.

Its very good over all but it seems like if you don't have a 100% survival rate and it comes off to me as if you don't have that you don't have a healthy herd. No breeder has a 100% survival rate, even in the healthiest herd. I don't know if I took it wrong, but it seems like that's what healthy could be seen as. Peanuts, max factors, first time mom's that just don't know what they're doing and loose a litter, the ones that just aren't meant to live pop up (could be considered the faders you mention) and even the best breeder with an otherwise healthy herd still has those issues.

Seems good to me I wish more people bred that way, then wouldn't have to worry so much.
