Tom in Kingman
Active member
Hello, my name is Tom and I live just off Route 66 about 15 miles east of Kingman AZ. I want to get going with meat rabbits since I'm a Prepper and they are a perfect fit. I am trying to set everything up before I make the "leap". I have been a member of the ARBA for 4 years and attended 2 conventions here in Kingman at The Fairgrounds. I was all set to go last year and once again speak at length with Ray Stacy (head of District 2) but we all know why that DIDN'T happen. Hopefully we will return to some sort of normalcy sooner than later. Until then I am trying to figure out the BEST place to raise them on my property, the housing, water supply and a jillion other things. I already raise Compost Worms and am having a hard time every year keeping them cool in summer. I believe rabbits are a challenge also where heat is involved. So I'm still watching You Tube and looking around. I got a great idea on You Tube from a guy called JNULL0. He made some really good cages out of Closet Maid shelving. Strong, easy to clean and gives easy access to the rabbits from the top. Right now I'm thinking Florida Whites but that could change. They would be convenient because of size since we are only 2 people . Any ideas are welcome and anyone from my area is always welcome to give me some pointers. Thank you.
