Rabbit

Recommended Posts

As a kid, a buddy and I used to go rabbit hunting in the snow with his grandfather...........rabbit was one of the grandfathers favorite dishes. 

Used to chase them on foot until they dove into the snow and then pull them out backwards.  

Thinking your "rabbitry"  is much easier method to come by rabbits!!!!

Interesting post...thanks!

After many years  I am back to raising rabbits. The cost is only in the set up. With good advice that cost is very low.

If interested or now raising farm animals I suggest you google "rabbit fodder"

In the 80's i ran a rabbitry of 100 plus does.

What breed are you raising? Cali's, New Zealand's, Rex etc. Have thought about raising a couple of does, with one buck and should give me enough protein supplement for the year!

I raise New Zealand.s. (3 does with 1 buck) If you get the fodder system down the cost is almost nothing. I feed fodder for day feed and grass clippings for night feed. The secret to healthy animals is on demand fresh water. (cheap to do)

I will read up more on the fodder system have seen some on youtube, for me being single would say two females and one male is adequate or a single female and male?

I use rabbit and pork butts for my thank you's. Fry up 8-9 and drop off at local sheriffs station with beans and slaw and  2-3 at Doctors office once or twice a year.

Find cages on Craigs. (NO WOOD or Hardware cloth - hanging wire only) $25 or less per hole.
