i bred my dutch doe on feb 15 so her due date is about st patricks day (march 17). and unless my lionhead does kindle before the 21st of this month i will be breeding them then. heard a bit about breeding on a new moon for doe kits and breeding on a full moon for buck kits. so see how it works...

well today i bred the dutch doe to the dutch buck. cleaned out the cage as they went at it and let the kits pig out as they wished on some pellets and a carrot peice (which they only hate half of anyhow). i wanted to make sure that if anything went wrong i could get an opinion on what it was so...

went to get the rabbits finally. well the hutch with the lionheads was bigger than the lady told me over the phone. course she just guessed it because she couldnt find her tapemeasure. so we only took one seat out of the van not two. so the hutch would not fit. so i will be going back on...

i am going to be getting my first rabbits today. so i do not have first hand experience. but i have read that oats or other treats sweeten up some rabbits. if you give her some oats or some other treat before you handle her. kind of training her that she will get a treat when she needs to be...

i dont have rabbits yet. but from what i have read thus far is that in a colony setting does will wean at 4 or 5 weeks. what i will likely be doing when i get my own rabbits (i will have a sort of colony set up but with a few twists) is to pull out and sell/butcher the biggest of the litter...

hello :D i found a somewhat close to me person that may have some san juan rabbits for sale. i am wanting rabbits for meat and to tan their hides. for myself and family mostly. maybe to sell some for meat or a few as pets. what do you all think?

i just found this not too long ago: http://www.ssrsi.org/Onsite/bunny.htm i am going to try it with a groundhog hide. :P then i have a nice big buck hide that i'd love to do. hoping i can do lots of animal hides this way. especially rabbits once i get into them. good luck!
