Hi all!
I got bit by the homesteading lifestyle a few years back. I am starting a new project now- meat rabbits. Now, please don't take offense- but I just get heart sick when I see a lonely, solitary rabbit in a cage by itself, and all the rabbits lined up in a row- so they can see each other, but not be with each other.
I heard about a European approach, community housing. As fate would have it, someone I lent my 2nd hutch to has not returned it yet. So my 1 buck and 2 does have been living together for a month. And surprise, the females feel very heavy (pregnant).
There has been no fighting (in fact my one rabbit, Love Muffin, seems to be rubbing off on the other rabbits I place with her. Shy and/or aggressive rabbits have turned into love sponges themselves...
But now that I am pretty sure the 2 females are preggers, I am concerned that I don't know more about how this group housing works.
Can anyone help me out? Google seems to have very little to offer on the topic.
Thank you very much in advance.
