I would totally be in the cage with the babies as much as possible, lol they may be mischievous, but they're so adorable that I wouldn't mind a little nibble here and there. 😁 after all, they're just curious lil babies, and it's just too cute to watch them explore their surroundings.

Tiffany is definitely a Rabbit Guru and a joy to listen to. Her videos are so very instructive, detailed and entertaining. She is most assuredly, the Matron of the Rabbit world. I have learned so much enlightening information about bunnies and rabbits, since I've been following most of her videos. There's other Rabbit KZbinrs out there but none as detailed and down to earth as Tiffany is. She's just country all the way and that's a big plus for the way that she explains things. So keep up the good work Tiff and yes, Teal Homestead Rabbitry is totally cool.

I’m only ever going to breed rabbits to sell as pets and **maybe** for show if I get some really pretty ones out of the bunch. I definitely understand breeding them for meat but I don’t think I could do it myself, lol. I’d get too attached to have them butchered.

Thanks for answering our questions! We did take the nest box out and clean it out several times. I'm still amazed at the amount of fur Momma pulled! They are now 4 weeks old and we are going to pull the nest box and give them a hide box. Then, I think we will build new nest boxes with the small hole wire bottom. With a litter of 10 kits it was just too nasty too quickly with the wood bottom!

[@TealStoneHomestead]

It’s not totally necessary to have a lid, but I think it makes them feel safer when they are nursing. My rabbits like sitting on top of the box.

[@jeannetteamaya7447]

❤️ Good video. I have an above ground cage for my rabbits and a 6” 2ft long at a slant that go down, with little 2 inch slats going across for leverage so they can climb up into the top-tier and in the nesting area. I have screen for the floor and I use burlap for the mama rabbit to give birth to her babies and so with her hair & burlap it can breathe and there legs don’t go through…plus when it gets dirty all I do is pick up the piece of burlap and lay another piece down. The screen floor allows for the rabbit droppings to go through but in the winter it’s almost like insulation. I’ve never had a problem with my rabbits that is the mama rabbit and the daddy rabbit gets sick. But now that there’s babies kits the daddy stays on the bottom and the mama stays on top with her kits. I feed Mama also alfalfa especially immediately after giving birth so they get the nutrition they need.

[@rockymountainhomesteadangela]

Hey! QUESTION I hope you see this and can answer. We are about to get meat rabbits for the first time. We have a very large kennel at the end of our chicken run that is separated from the run. We bought a seperate coop to keep just the rabbits in. The coop would be in the kennel. I had a 24x24 cage for the buck to keep seperate from does. My thought was to have the does live together not caged in the coop. is that possible or do they HAVE to be in a cage? If they have to be in a cage then I may have to stop the coop mid delivery. We live in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. We have tons of bears and mountain lions which is why we were going to go the route with the coop inside of the kennels. Electric fencing all along outside of the kennels for complete protection. Please let me know if the coop thing would work and not having to cage the does inside of it. Thank you!!

[@pipermaru2006]

I have a problem...Help please?! I have a 3.5 year old ND doe who has had litters before I got her and I got her 6 months ago. Gorgeous girl. Kinda shy but loves me now. I began researching breeding and wanted to get into it. Bought an ND boy who was 12 weeks old with beautiful colours.. Housed them separately and settled him in etc... Long story short - He is now 9 months old. I put them together in the tractor style breeding method I learned from you. Nothing happened as he wasn't quite sure what to do! lol Interested alright but not figuring it out properly. Tried each day for around 10 days the same method...nothing. He just wasn't getting it! I noticed that they really liked each other and so I ended up just leaving him go play in and out of her hutch with her. - sort of free roaming the garden. Left the doors opened during playtime.. Then after a couple of weeks they started sleeping together and stretching out together during playtime. `They looked bonded so I just left them stay together. That was about 6 weeks ago. Figured that he would get it eventually and if not, then I would just spay him and let them live together. I came out this morning and found 4 kits! I'm estimating that they are around 5 days old. They are healthy looking, clean eyes, warm to touch and very wriggly. My issue now is how do I handle the buck living in the same accommodation? He is eating with mama bunny, standing on the nest box looking protective when I check the babies. He knows what they are it seems. She seems to love her buddy with her too which is confusing me. All advice I have seen online states that the buck is a danger to the kits and that mum could also attack him etc etc. How would you assess this situation? Would love some insight from a more experienced hand!

[@jessicapabon2105]

Oh my goodness this was so stinking adorable! I was just telling my niece's a few days ago that I'm preparing for the garage area for either future Quail or a future pair of rabbits but unfortunately I cannot get Quail or rabbits unless I go to the pet store for the rabbits and I don't want the tiny little rabbits I want the big rabbits like you have. But I'd like to get it Young. Been watching your videos and I'm totally in love with the rabbits and I started getting the books on the maintenance and care of rabbits. Plus I'm setting up my Gardens and their future droppings and the hay will come in handy for the garden. One question? The hay that you give your rabbit is that Timothy Hay?

[@angelaguevin5680]

Do you have a video for identifying bucks and does. Thank you

[@melindawolfUS]

I also feed fresh to my adults, it cuts down my feed costs using greens from my garden that I don't love as much like carrot tops and I always have plenty of sweet potato greens. They love the fresh and I do feel like it helps their health to have seasonal variety. I'm starting to grow my own timothy grass so I can guarantee it has no chemicals since I use bunny poop as my #1 fertilizer and the weed killers can transfer through and hurt plant development. It can also last for years, so contaminated animal poop can be dangerous to gardens in a way that is difficult to reverse. Anyways, the fewer people I rely on for my farm to work, the less expensive it is generally and the more eco-friendly (less fuel in travel).

I appreciate your videos soooo much being a first time rabbit owner. I would like to know the best way to handle my adult bunnies. I was picking them up by the scruff of their neck but they really scratch me. Also, why do you cover their eyes on some videos? I had my two female bunnies together since they were little and they were so sweet and affectionate. Then one day, around 4-5 months old, they got in a terrible fight and one hurt the other, tearing an ear, etc. I separated them since then, but now when in the outdoor pen which has a separating fence, they snuggle up to each other and lay side by side. What the heck? At first I thought maybe they were bucks or one of them was, but now they have developed dewlaps so I guess they really are females. They are about 8 months now. Since your videos I have spent more time in their outdoor pen with them and they are much friendlier with me than before. THANK YOU

[@Kingase-nd2ru]

6:51 Just wanted to point out that an air temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) combined with a relative humidity of almost 100% would cause the Wet Bulb Temperature (WBT) to also be 35 degrees Celsius. A WBT of 35 degrees Celsius is extremely rare and has only been reached in 10 cities, these cities are in Australia, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, and based on your accent and environment, you don't seem to reside anywhere near those countries. But regardless of the WBT, an air temperature of 35 degrees Celsius combined with a relative humidity of 100% has never been recorded anywhere in the world, the highest temperature with 100% relative humidity is 34 degrees, in the city of Jask in Iran (21 July 2012). If the relative humidity really would be 100% while the air temperature is 35 degrees Celsius, then the Heat Index (otherwise known as "RealFeel" or "FeelsLike-Temperature") would've been about 72 degrees Celsius. The highest Heat Index ever recorded is 81 degrees Celsius in the city of Dhahran in Saudi Arabi- sometime during 2003. There isn't much information available about Heat Index records, but I am pretty sure that the record in Dhahran is followed by a Heat Index of 74 degrees Celsius reached in the city of Bandar Manshahr in Iran sometime during 2015. I believe these records are followed by some record far below 70 degrees Celsius, or possibly even below 60 degrees Celsius. The most heat adapted and healthy adult people wouldn't survive long when the WBT is 35 degrees or more, in fact, even 30 or more can be fatal, but 35 is regarded as the human survival limit WITH an unlimited supply of water. It would be absolutely deadly, and life-threatening. I mean, just imagine, a Heat Index, or "Feels-Like temperature" of 72 degrees Celsius (161.6 degrees Fahrenheit). I am pretty sure you must have misunderstood something, and the humidity in fact wasn't near 100%, you might be talking about the relative humidity at night, when the air temwprature is much cooler, that's just how weather works, humidity levels dip during the day, when it's hotter. I find it hard to believe that the relative humidity was even higher than 50% during the hottest hour of the day (50% would still be extremely high for that specific temperature, and would still feel like literal hell). This comment was likely useless, and nobody will likely read it, but I have a deep interest in meteorology, and spend a lot of my free time reading up on it, I just find it interesting, and I couldn't help myself but to correct you, and I mean no offence by doing so, just though I'd use my knowledge about this specific subject to educate people. I hope this helped. In short, 35 degrees Celsius along with a relative humidity of 100% has never happened in the world, and would be deadly and life threatening to human life, and most likely any life, it would feel like 72 degrees Celsius, which has almost never happened before in the world. Also, a WBT of more than 35 degrees Celsius is extremely rare, and only occurs in the most hot and humid places in the world. Hope you learnt something new, whoever's reading, just wanted to point it out. Thanks for reading. Edit: spelling

I came for the rabbit care tips but the the intro song had me like... "woah, its 2.41 am, and I too cant sleep😳" Serious note, my doe ignored the nest I setup up for her and made her nest in her dig box, should I move the kits to the nest box?
