Hello All,
I have been reading through your wonderful forum here. As a result I have decided to move from cages to a colony style rabbitry for my NZ/Cali meat rabbits so I can take better advantage of the great natural forage in my area and get off pellets. I am still in the planning stage but would like to move forward soon.
My first question is... How many square feet per doe w/kits would you advise.
I want to build roomy pens but am on a budget so I can't afford to be to generous.
I will have multiple does per pen and will rotate several bucks through the pens to give the does a rest but keep the bucks busy.
These will be permanent pens and I will have a separate grow out pen.
Any and all advice will be appreciated...
Thanks
Lazy M
