Welcome to BYH

Pastor Dave I read a post where you stated you feed your fryers a different diet than what you feed your does could you pls tell me what you feed them?

I put an ad on Craigslist yesterday looking for a nz buck, I got a reply about the 6 month old nz red buck & when I woke up this afternoon (I wk nights) I had another reply from a fella that has a 4 month old A&M white nz so I'm debating between the 2. After all the feedback on here I'm...

I've been looking for a nzw buck but I haven't had any luck in finding one, I have found a few nz red & broken red bucks that are supposed to be pedigreed. Do you think the nz red buck would be as good as a nzw for breeding meat rabbits?

She's the friendliest rabbit I've ever had... it kinda made me nervous right at 1st cause she's so curious & interactive that I thought she was aggressive until I got to know her

She's due to kindle the 22nd & she's bred to a pedigreed black nz buck so I'm pretty excited

The board she sitn on is 12"x12" I'm not sure what she weighs but she's big

I bought a hanging set of cages & the doe came with it... I'm unsure of what she is, I was told she's 1/2 flemish & 1/2 nz I'm curious what does everyone else think?

I agree as long as I'm not trying to breed a flemish to a dutch or something like that I think I'll be alright but it's certainly something to take into consideration. I know I can't be sure which genetics will be transmitted to the next generation as you said in a previous post but the kits...

It'll be worth a shot just to see what I end up with in my opinion.... it could apparently go well or horribly wrong lol

Wow bunnylady that's deep... I'm so glad there's a site like this to gain knowledge from others experience!!!

I was kinda thinkn with my buck bein 3/4 nz & 1/4 flemish depending on the characteristics of the buck I chose to keep outa the litter I could essentially get an offspring outa my 1/2nz-1/2cali does that wd possibly grow bigger & faster than my original nz-cali cross like you said bunnylady but...

I have 3 young cali/nz cross does & I've recently aquired a 1/2 nz 1/2 flemish doe that I bred to a nz buck. My question is do you think if I keep a buck out of her litter making him 3/4 nz 1/4 flemish & breed him to my 3 young does do I stand to gain anything as apposed to just breeding them...

I've personally had the best luck "meat to bone ratio" with a cross of a californian buck over nz does but that's just my personal experience

Wow! That sounds very technical but it wd make sense

I have a nz/cali buck & a nz/cali doe both are really nice rabbits my buck took on the cali look & build where my doe looks like a pure nz & she's an excellent momma she had 9 in her first litter & they're all fat & healthy..... I think it's a very good meat cross

The buck that sprayed me didn't spray his previous owner either but apparently he wasn't to fond of me & seen fit to let it fly in my direction.... you're not the only one who found humor in the situation, all my buddies at wk thought it was hilarious

I have an air conditioned room in my shop I can put the doe in but I'll have to rig up a way to catch droppings & urine. Would it hurt her to go from the outside heat into the air conditioned room?

Right now it's in the mid to upper 80's but it could easily reach 100 next wk
