Can someone fill in the blanks for me on a meat rabbits time frame of events. Here is what I know about.
(Usually)
-27-31 days after mating kits are born
-10 days later kits eyes open, make pellets accessible to kits
-5 weeks after birth doe weens kits, doe can safely/humanly be rebreed
-@5ish weeks kits should be sexed and separated male from female
- 8-10 weeks after birth kits should average butcher weight and can be sent to freezer camp.
2.5-3 years after being born the female is done with successful kits.
Is my timeline accurate? Btw I know does CAN be breed asap in some cases but milk dries up quickly.
Where in this do bucks become successful studs and when can does (general meat breed) safely raise kits and not be dopey or too young to get a good motherly instinct?
I know this is largely on a rabbit by rabbit biases with many exception for sooner but would like to take a screen shot of the replies so I always can review if I forget.
Being newer still I think a timeline would really help.
Thanks!
