Thank you both for spreading knowledge like this. I'm getting ready to begin my journey raising rabbits but am having issues finding decent feed. Our son has health issues and needs a super low inflammation diet and we suspect organic pellets with no odd ingredients would be best, but so far haven't found many options that are local or reasonably priced. I guess tree hay and supplemental food plots are going to be a big part of the way forward!

How can we produce blue rabbits if we don't have blue colour rabbits?
@TheRabbitryCenter13 сағат бұрын
Blue rabbits posses the diluted gene(d) You must avoid brown(chocolate) and lilacs. Blue is derived from black based rabbits. so you will have to find a black rabbit with the diluted Jean contact your breeders in your area to see if they are aware of the genetics of their black rabbits, or simply purchase a blue rabbit that carries the diluted gene already. If you’d like, more information on rabbit color genetics here’s a video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHqkmoFsbJKWsKsfeature=shared

how long should I wait to rebreed a doe that lost all her kits at birth? she's been a great mother to about 4 litters but for some reason this time she did not make a nest or pull fur. Thery were all on the wire and frozen :(

If your doe is in good health and a veteran mama, you can re-breed her immediately if she needs to gain a little bit of weight, give it about a week. Best of luck!

I work long hours and freezing water is an issue for me in Northern Ontario Canada. My rabbits are in a shed that is not heated. I use a 10 liter ice cream pail with a lid on it. It has a drinking nipple about 10 cm up from the bottom. I use an 50watt submersible aquarium heater in it. The pail is on the outside of the cage with a hole for the nipple to go through. The nipple does not freeze until it hits -25 Celsius. The heater is set at 25 or 26 Celsius. I have to hit the metal drinking nipple with a torch lighter for 3 or 4 seconds if it freezes. I never seen this setup so I thought I would share. I raise New Zealand rabbits. It makes my life so much easier with this setup. And of course the power wire is on the outside of the cage. lol

@TheRabbitryCenter10 сағат бұрын
Avoid breeding Chocolate(brown) or Lilac because they’re brown based. Blue rabbits (d/d) are derived from black based rabbits (D). When black rabbits are bred with blue rabbits or other black rabbits that carry the diluted gene(D/d) the ressesive diluted gene may double up producing (d/d) in which you’ll see the blue get expressed and finally gets to show. You can either breed a black with a blue or find a couple black rabbits that carries the diluted gene in the D locus.

I'm a chef and very familiar with butchery and rabbits. Id recommend you look up a video of Jaques Pepin showing how to debone a chicken carcass, or the Ballotine recipe where he shows the same with a different method. The Maryland/thigh of a chicken is very similar to a rabbits hindquarter, the technique for a clean deboned hindquarter is exactly the same as I use for a chicken and presentation is immaculate with very little waste stuck to the bone. Good video, glad more people are getting into rabbit as a source of protien

Hey Bobby- I enjoyed watching this video. I have a question. Here in Maine in the winter we put straw in our hide boxes. The rabbits just seem to eat it more than use it to stay warm. Do you use straw in your rabbitry? If so how do you keep them from just eating it? Thanks in advance.Sincerely, Raye

We use straw for bedding and we use Hay for Feed. You can expect them to chew a little straw, but when providing Hay, they will choose that instead. Throw a handful in to get them to stop chewing the straw.

It’s great to grow and harvest and dry all these plants the rabbits like, so you have a good supply through the winter. Some Rabbitery owners think you shouldn’t give wet greens to rabbits, but dry everything. Just a concept to help support everybody drying their excess.
@TheRabbitryCenter14 күн бұрын
That’s correct, greens hold a lot of water and can cause diarrhea and even bloat if not introduced gradually. It helps to feed mama before the kits are born so her cecotropes will have the right bacteria to inoculate their stomachs.
