I moved from Louisiana to Missouri and my rabbits did good .

[@Og_Farm]

Great video, definitely deserve more subscribers 😊

[@rabbitathomestead]

Thank you!

[@timmooney2460]

I enjoy the personal touch you have with your rabbits.

[@rabbitathomestead]

Thank you!

[@Tilas8]

I rather watch your videos of you taking care of these rabbits than watching tv

[@ahmedyy6]

When breathing the Buck & the dough, have a wire barrier for 1hr Then remove it , then next day separate them

[@2009ranger1]

I just recently came across your channel and it’s become one of my favorites! You and teal stone rabbitry have become my free time videos of choice lol! I just recently got back into rabbits after being out of it for years. You’ve been very helpful 😊

[@rabbitathomestead]

I appreciate your kindness, thanks for being a part of my channel 💜 good luck with your rabbits 🙂

[@kevywilliams3304]

I’d get some caging around the bottom asap .. animals can easily pull them through the grill also rip the cage apart.. once they come … hey will always come

[@richardordonez8331]

Thumper should be a buck's name.

[@rejectranch5486]

Thank you for answering my hay dust questions. I appreciate it

[@rabbitathomestead]

No problem!

[@CornfedLady1]

That's a ton of snow! Thumper is stubborn but so cute and sweet.

[@rabbitathomestead]

Yes it is! And yes she's a pain but I love her 💙 she's a good momma. I'm thinking I'm going to give her a break from breeding for a month or so.

[@CornfedLady1]

@@rabbitathomestead I know what you mean. One of our does, Midnight, is a bit fussy about breeding... but she's such a wonderful mom, and we adore her. 🐇🥰✌️

Coyotes always around once you have animals, i live on a 250 acres i have a 12x16 shed i built 1 have 12 meat bunnies, 1 pet bunny Coco now 14 new born a week ago.... we only see that the coyotes comes around because there's snow on the ground, i seen a fox.... i like your channel and the way you keeping the bunnies 🐰 clean same as i

[@lennylink8772]

Yep, coyotes took over after the wolves were wiped out. Coyotes are everywhere now, including urban areas like Chicago.

[@snezsara5174]

I have heard that Doe will choose which Buck they will breed to.

[@Tilas8]

I really like your set up. How many rabbit cages do you have?

[@rabbitathomestead]

Thank you! We have three hutches. One holds three stalls and the other two hold 2 large stalls. So all together I have 7 stalls for rabbits.

[@Tilas8]

I think you have really nice houses for your rabbits. I am not able to afford such luxuries like that. And I don’t really know how to build things or to use electrical tools. So I’m hoping to use pallets and wrap the side closer to the rabbits with rabbit wire and the outer side too to make it harder for predators to get to the rabbits. I would like to have metal roofs for them. But I don’t know how to manage that. I had rabbits when I lived in a different house. At the time some Boy Scouts had build me a hutch. And later on a friend and build me one out of pallets. It was sturdy and huge!!!!!!!!! I was able to divide that section into 2. So I’m hoping to do something like that again. I love it when you talk about your rabbits and when I watched all of your videos I will start them over to watch them again.

[@rabbitathomestead]

I'm sorry, for some reason I never saw this last comment from you! Anyways, thank you and I hope you are able to get a nice set up going! Did you see my latest video? It's all about my rabbit setup. Thanks for watching 😊

[@reginaholcomb9650]

Animals will eat the toes off of rabbits from under their cages. My Dad had that happen to some so we added a second wire strip all the way across. We used chicken wire so manure would fall through.

[@rabbitathomestead]

Wow that's terrible! That's a good idea. I was surprised they came up so close to the house. But it is winter and they are probably hungry enough to come closer.

[@debraanderson7182]

Wondering what kind of sticks you give them to chew?Do you buy them? And…. could you use a screen bottom nest box with a square of cardboard to collect urine.

[@toniharms5807]

I have been devouring your videos and am in the process of building my hutches. I see you get a bit of snow but wondering how cold it gets there. I can get down to -50 so trying to plan accordingly. Thanks

[@rabbitathomestead]

That's great! We get down to -20s. I make sure the wind stays off of them and they are dry. I also give does and bucks nest boxes to cuddle up in with hay and Aspen shavings

[@Tilas8]

Hey, I know this is an old video. But I just love to hear you talk about your rabbits. I don’t have any yet. I hope I will have some soon. I live in the city limits and the city told me I won’t be able to process my rabbits outdoors . I don’t have a clean place like that to do this inside the house. What do you suggest I do about this?

[@rae1968]

Do you have a garage? Or a basement?

[@CristalLeslie]

Can you tell me what size pen you make for the grower

[@chester1013]

At what weight do you harvest your grow out rabbits?

[@Tilas8]

I see you have the hutches really close to the house. Are they always that close?

[@rabbitathomestead]

Yes, it's just easier for us to get too in the winter and in the summer it's better to have them close to the house because wildlife is less likely to bother them.

[@debrahaley1235]

Thank you for your video! How cold do you get in winter? At what temperature should I be concerned / ensure they have hay to keep warm? Thank you!

[@rabbitathomestead]

I'm glad you enjoyed! We get down in sub zero temps. As long as they have the wind off of them and they stay dry, they will be fine. Once temps hit below freezing I like to give my breeders nest boxes with hay and Aspen shavings to sleep in.

[@marinesimonotti481]

CanI raise rabbits this way if it get down to -30C here in Canada?

[@rabbitathomestead]

Absolutely!

[@josephrosser4609]

You think coyotes waking around?

[@rabbitathomestead]

Yes I do! I took video of the paw prints but it must not have been recording because I can't find the footage. But I definitely think it's coyotes! I'm so glad they all have nestboxes to hide in.

[@josephrosser4609]

@@rabbitathomestead yes. Some place to duck into is very important. Love your updates.

[@rabbitathomestead]

Thank you!

[@kevywilliams3304]

I don’t see a processing one ?

[@rabbitathomestead]

That video will be out soon
