Baby Rabbits, Nesting Boxes

[@stacihill2528]

Love the nest box set up. Not new to rabbits but expanding and looking at ideas. New subscriber here. Saw ark-la-Tex on the papers. We’re neighbors!! From Murfreesboro.

Hi !

[@BronzeTheSling]

I like how thorough and detailed you are. Thank you so much, teacher Duke!

[@RuffCut]

yer Welcome!

[@Juanelo1946]

Duke, it's always fascinating to learn how you raise your rabbits. Your clamp-on, heater-reflector lights are what I use in the kitchen when making cooking videos. The baby rabbits look healthy even to my novice eyes! Thanks for the good show my friend! All the best to you, Mrs. Gitter, and The Gang!

[@RuffCut]

The lamp lights are multi purpose! Thanks for the tip! Can't wait to see you and Ms. Lulu tonight!

[@prveteran]

You are a smart man Sir! Impressive use of available resources. You should write all these ideas into a book.

[@prveteran]

From using the paper to the ingenious use of the warming bulb.

[@RuffCut]

Thanks Ronald

[@CraigArndt]

Look at those girls grabbing that newspaper! They were more interested in getting the bed made than eating! Great video Duke, always educational.

[@RuffCut]

Thank You Craig

[@sandiatleo1550]

I love your white bunnies with the red eyes. So cute.

[@RuffCut]

they are cute!

[@jstewart627]

Do you ever let them touch grass and run around the land?

[@moreteavicarfromengland8299]

Sleet and rain here in the uk so trains and motorways will grind to a halt !!, does are grand 2 x litters of 8 plus another doe due in next day or so! Keep enjoying it all Mr Duke , catch u on your next video, cheers Pal

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

I raised rabbits most of my life, I stopped in 2007. I still have modular ss cages in my shed in case I ever need them. They are good eating. Thanks and take care. Good video.

[@RuffCut]

yeah its good to have livestock cages...even if your not raising them at the present time

[@gregbryant9673]

Great video Duke. Had a friend that raised rabbits for several years when he passed his wife got rid of them.

[@RuffCut]

yeah my wife would probably but my daughter raises them too

[@HilltownCT]

That's a nifty way to keep 'em warm. I've never raised them, but I'm starting to see them sold commercially in grocery stores up my way. Unfortunately, they're farm raised from China.

[@RuffCut]

yeah that doesn't sound very good....I bet they are expensive too...I have been wondering what is your profile picture?

[@HilltownCT]

@@RuffCut It's the framing of an observation tower atop a mountain I frequently hike. I crested the summit one evening and captured the Kodak moment, as they say.

[@moreteavicarfromengland8299]

Cheers again Mr Duke, still not short of water under foot there! Good luck with the kinderling does, got a couple of does ready to set nests myself

[@RuffCut]

Well I hope ye do well with your does. Let me know what happens...Cheers ol buddy!

[@RuffCut]

how the rabbits doing? Its drying out a lil here!

[@cabotbluegill]

great looking rabbit raising area for sure. I had a friend that made his spending money through high school raising meat rabbits

[@RuffCut]

a man can make some money with them if he wants....I did back in the day....Thanks Howard...brought back some old memories too

[@ValerieReese]

I love seeing the babies. Too bad the other rabbits didn't produce. Enjoy your day.

[@jimsgardensandrabbitry]

Hoping this bunch of kits do better. Have you seen the wild dogs since the last bunch of kits were born? Have a blessed day, Jim

[@RuffCut]

No dogs, fortunately....blessings

[@snookdock]

[@richardsolomon8076]

I see how double would be great, healthy looking kittens tho, I do like the clip on lights great tips on cleanliness and maintenance. Nice job Duke and Helper :-)

[@RuffCut]

Thanks from the both of us Richard!

[@huckfinn4260]

I always learn something watching Ol' Duke.

[@RuffCut]

ol Duke aint got knowledge...just a lil experience...I bet ol Huck knows! Take care ol buddy

[@huckfinn4260]

I've never raised rabbits for meat, though it has been on my list of things I'd like to try. I trap cottontails and eat them. My guess is that the domestic rabbits are a lot better tasting than these wild ones are.

[@RuffCut]

I quit hunting rabbits when I started raising them so its been a long time....what I can remember, they may of had a slightly better taste but I know the farm raised are more tender. It's interesting, trapping a rabbit, never did that

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Looking like there ready to go Ole Duke.

[@RuffCut]

Ready to "go" alright!

[@larryrussell976]

Good morning Duke! Why do domestic rabbits have red eyes?

[@RuffCut]

I'm not sure Larry, domestic rabbits is all I know! I might try and find out! Good afternoon ol buddy

[@RuffCut]

they are albino Larry...top of the morning to ye!

[@larryrussell976]

@@RuffCut good morning to you.and thanks now I know 😉

[@carlanddawnhomestead4347]

Duke, what is the dimensions of each cage you have here? You scared me when you jumped, lol. Good video buddy, thanks for sharing, Carl and Dawn Homestead

[@RuffCut]

they are 18" tall, 36" long, and 24" deep...all three are a unit 9' long Thank ye Carl

[@gryjannickejarlum7270]

Why are they not getting any hay? 80% of what rabbits eats are suppose to be hay! That's important for their stomack and digestive system. And also for the teeth.

[@RuffCut]

you just assume they don't get hay

[@deivakumarsundaravel4348]

In nest box rabbit entering hole size

[@RuffCut]
