Way to go Madison !! Great job on the hutch. Those look like very sweet bunnies. You’re gonna need another hutch though🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇

[@kathykerst5871]

Wow, Madi! Seeing you orchestrate this project was quite a treat for Gumpy and I to watch. Your knowledge, energy and enthusiasm are impressive. Looking forward to seeing those cute little babies! Love, Gma Kathy

Maddie, great video.

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

Ya for rabbits😃👍 your puppy is growing like a weed!!!🤗❤👍

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Good luck with your new project:))) Make sure to have something under to collect their manure, they say it's so good for the garden, can be used directly, without having to age. Have a happy, healthy, prosperous 2022:)))

That’s moms favorite thing about keeping rabbits 🐰 😉

Whoo hoo Maddie! Way2Go on making that wonderful cage and getting bunnies. I have a buck bunny named Peanut who I believe is a Mini Rex. He was watching your video just now with me and seems to recognize your bunnies. It was so cute! They are all adorable. Sorry for the other male that didn't make it.

What an amazing child. What an amazing family. Thanks, new subscriber that was just looking for information on Rex rabbits

[@twooldcrowshomestead]

Hello! New subscriber from Perma Pastures Farm. I love your rabbit set up. We are planning on getting into rabbits in the spring (for meat though) and Maddie's set up looks very do-able! Thanks for sharing and kudos to Maddie! Great job!

[@GrowingUpHolt]

Thanks!

[@nancyseery2213]

Just trying to catch up with your family. I ran across you from "Sow the Land". It's is very interesting watching from your journey from living in the RV in Oct to right after Christmas. You have come along way. Keep growing and I'll keep watching. I'm learning as you'll progress. Thanks for sharing.

To cool!!! Love rabbits... sold ours to OZ Farms... which ended up at Singlethred. Be sure there is 1” of space between the cages. Rumor is that they can breed through single wire... as always love your content!!! 😀

[@GrowingUpHolt]

Wow! That’s wild 🤪. Fun that your rabbits were at singlethred ☺️

[@terryhenderson424]

Yes ... there are plenty of stories of rabbits breeding across cages.

[@michaelgreen9721]

Love your channei, I only wish you had better Audio volume. Happy New Year!🎉

[@GrowingUpHolt]

Working on it!

[@pattyprice2644]

Awe what great parents

[@Rick0125]

Happy New Year. Congrats on getting the rabbits. Should be fun to watch Maddie raise and breed them. My brother use to raise rabbits and also breed them. He was getting like 7 or 8 babies per litter.

[@cashk100]

Your bunnies 🐰 are beautiful. I would love to have one too. Do rabbits need bedding in their cages.

[@GrowingUpHolt]

We like to give them something when its really cold out, but honestly I think it just confuses them and they poop on it. 😂

[@cashk100]

@@GrowingUpHolt got it 🤗👍🏾

[@jillyd2807]

🐰🐰🐰 Are the rabbits going to get some hay to be comfortable and warm and get their feet off the wire? 🤔

[@GrowingUpHolt]

Yes of course. Madison takes very good care of her rabbits. She learned through 4H, which if you aren’t familiar with the organization, 4H is very thorough in teaching children.

[@jillyd2807]

@@GrowingUpHolt thanks for responding 😊 I’m in the UK near London so I haven’t heard of 4H

[@annemarielee4436]

Is it going to have covered back and side so they do t get wet in rain and wind

[@GrowingLittleCountryhomestead]

Don’t need them yet but when it turns cold they should have something to escape the wind. Are these for pets or meat?

[@GrowingUpHolt]

Madison would like to breed them to sell, not eat, so that is what we will do for now.

[@susiearviso3032]

@@GrowingUpHolt Thank God!

[@SJsjaah]

Great looking hutch and bunnies. Good luck with breeding. Do you cover the sides at all when the weather gets to cold/to windy or gusting rain?

[@GrowingUpHolt]

Yes, it’s been so warm we haven’t needed to but a couple nights! Hopefully we’ll get some winter weather soon.

[@SJsjaah]

@@GrowingUpHolt it's been mild here to (Germany). Today 13 Celsius......mad. We've been getting cold snaps, a couple of days minus before warming up again.

[@wellhill4017]

Hello. I breed as well and would love to know where you got your d’argent?

[@GrowingUpHolt]

we found him through craigslist :)

[@blairtheageese5269]

My daughter did 4-H rabbits , and I did meat rabbits , there cheap to feed and taste a lot like chicken and you can skin them out in 5 mins and cool down and ready for supper, in 6 weeks , Great meat for a home stead ,

[@susiearviso3032]

Are the rabbits pets or food?

[@GrowingUpHolt]

Compost makers! 🤩

[@terryhenderson424]

Please consider working with Madison to watch the old series about raising rabbits from the Living Traditions Channel. They do raise thier rabbits for meat but the care, conditions, breeding, kitting, and separating the rabbits are all the same. Living Traditions stopped doing rabbit for a while but are currently getting back into it complete with beginning a utube series. The new series woild be good to watch too but, you have the rabbits and should have some additional insight now.

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Do you realize they need fresh greens?

[@GrowingUpHolt]

They get greens. 😊
