Dutch Rabbit for Meat

Sounds like a good plan. NZs have thick pelts, so they are good for fur. Blue are really pretty, and it you arent planning on showing, go ahead and get a couple.

So probably blue, black and a broken that catches my eye.

 

[DutchBunny03]

Nice! You'll get some really cool colors when you breed them.

I'm looking forward to it now and I don't have anywhere to put them yet. XD

 

[DutchBunny03]

That's a problem. Do you want to build hutches yourself, or buy them? Thankfully, rabbits dont take up very much space, so hutches dont cost an arm and a leg to buy or build.

We're going to be converting storage sheds on my in-laws' property. We're buying their house this spring. There's a great pole barn I would love to convert instead, but my FIL is holding it hostage for who knows how long. :/

Barring that, I have a hutch that's just waiting on a few final touches. The cold season came before we could finish it.

Converted storage sheds make great rabbit housing. Are you putting hutches in the shed, or letting the rabbits roam around in it?

 

[OctoberKitty]

Hutches in the shed.

 

[DutchBunny03]

Ok. Thats what i have set up right now. Sheds are nice to have to put hutches in, because no wind or rain can get in, depending on what sort of shed you have.

It's a storage shed. My MIL uses it to store off season clothes and old furniture she doesn't want to give up.
