We tried rabbits a few years ago, first doe was great, took care of the new borns until they could be on their own, A after she died, we could never find a doe that would not kill the little ones. Is there a way to find the better does for breeding.

Nice! how many rabbits per cage? cage size? you breed rabbits as well i assume for new stock?

great read thanks guys

These are the Texas Poultry Heat Shrink Bags. I believe they are 10x16"



We run 30x30x18" cages. With the rex being a larger breed, we keep 1 breeder or 5 grow outs per cage. We breed a lot of our replacement stock, but we are constantly looking for new blood to bring in. We sell a lot of breeders, show stock, and pets. And want doesn't make the cut for quality will be processed for the freezer.



I give a doe 3 strikes. First time breeding a doe, she will often lose her litter. Not producing enough milk, inexperience, etc could be to blame. We will immediately re-breed her if she loses a litter. But like I said, 3 strikes and she is out.

That looks good Pintail, we kept some whole and canned some also. We made stock and canned that too, can't wait for some noodles or dumplings!
