While I am interested in the rabbit wringer I currently use a 22 caliber BSA pellet rifle. One shot to the back of the head works every time and is a quick way for them to go.

I think what you have is the calf milk replacer. Calf manna is not milk replacer. It is a nutrient dense pelleted food. I got confused by the name too. I grew up on a cattle farm and I could swear we used to by a milk replacer by that name or siimilar.

They are NZ/Cali cross and I currently feed Manna Pro pellets which are 16%. I occasionally feed a bit of alfalfa hay but not often Thanks for the replies.

I am processing young fryer rabbits today. I had a litter of 10 and a litter of 12. They are 10 weeks old and weigh about 5lbs live weight. Dressed out at a bit over 2.5 lbs. Is this about average, slower than average or better than average? I remember harvesting at 8 weeks when i had them many...

After you have dressed 3-4 rabbits you will have your technique down and neither poop or urine is really much of a problem.

Thanks for the replies, These too are headed for the freezer. I am thinking of saving a doe out of these litters. With litter sizes this big 3 does should provide me with lots of meat.

My 2 does had their first litters on the 22nd of march. one had 12 and the other had 10. They have nursed them all. Those seem like awfully large litters for first time does. What do you all think? Also these are NZ/Californian cross. Do the black ears/nose colors come in later or are these guys...

Thanks, My current setup is about the same as what has been suggested. hopefully i won't need to setup the lower tier for a while.

I am finally getting my rabbit/poultry barn built this week and have a few questions about how you all hang your cages. First how high should the cages be? Initially I just plan to have a single tier of cages but a second row may be needed at some time. I have some cages on a 2 tier rack system...

Yes cages are too high. Just put them there as a quick thought.

Ok Thanks for the ideas. Maybe steel siding isn't the way to go even though it would be low maintenance. I have been sketching up an idea for what I want. It will be attached to the back end of my garage so will most likely be a single slope roof. Could you look these over and see What you...

Hello folks, Hoping some of you can give me some ideas. I plan to build a shed in the spring. It will be 12'x20' about half will be dedicated to my rabbits the rest will be divided off for poultry. I live in Northeast Missouri. We have several weeks of near 100 weather every summer and in winter...
