Micro Rabbitry progress and an addition

17 Comments »


Well, I have my breeding trio now, so we’re off and running on the micro rabbitry, Well, sort of — I still have to wait for them to mature and then it might be too cold to breed them in our climate. I may have to wait until Spring for that first litter. So, in the meantime, we are working on putting in new cages and setting things up. I am on the look out for a few free-standing hutches to keep future, weaned babies in “on the hoof” so to speak. Now, the breeding stock we have, so far, is very friendly and well, CUTE. I keep having to remind myself that I grew up on a beef cattle farm and they’re “livestock”. . . because I keep thinking “Oh man, what if the babies are as darling as these guys, how will we eat them!?” Of course, if the economy has flushed by then and we’re hungry, I’m sure it will be easier to butcher the “babies” than I am thinking now. I am reminded of that T-shirt I once saw that proclaimed in large letters: MEAT IS MURDER! and then in smaller letters underneath, it said “tasty, tasty murder”. : )

Rabbit raising Part 1 homesteading, survival, survivalist, peak oil, long term food storage

25 Comments »

Don’t know what youtube has changed in the uploading process but this is the SIXTH try in uploading this video. Been at it for nearly a full DAY……

Part 1 of our new series on raising rabbits looks at equipment needed for rabbit raising as well as helpful hints in getting started. This series has been in the works for six months as we have tried to capture video of kits at various ages and stages of growth.

This new series is about raising rabbits for MEAT, i.e, to EAT. Be forewarned that we will discuss rabbit raising in that format and later videos will show some butchering – with a warning before it actually comes up. So for the PETA crowd, men of the other gender and the “we won’t eat anything with eyes” crowd, you’ll probably want to skip these videos.

My rabbits are raised with eachother from about 1 month years old- Why now, 4 months later they are fighting?

4 Comments »

They use to never fight but recently, both males are fighting and blood is every where, i separated them, and try putting ointment on (antibiotic) but it appears the wound is dry, so is it too late?

and do female and male both fight each other? or only 2 males and 2 females

and why do they fight if they always known each other?

They will fight with any other rabbit that they perceive to be in their own territory. They are fighting now because they are maturing and that is just the way of rabbits. You will have to separate them . They don't have human emotions and will never be friends as we humans think they should.

Rabbits do not have a breeding season. They are ready to reproduce any minute, any day, any month of the year.

How can you tell if rabbits are male or female?

5 Comments »

Is there a certain age before male parts start showing? We've never raised rabbits before so we're still new to pretty much everything about them! Thanks
Thank you so much! Who'd known that's how you tell a male rabbit! I'm saying sir when can you tell.

turn your rabbit on its back and where the rabbit pees pull the fur back be care not to hurt the rabbit. look at what pop out if it has got a slit at the end of it it is a female if it is round on the end it is a male. around 4 month of age you can tell if it is a male by the testicle

I raise rabbits because its good for the environment, but how come there are so many flies?

9 Comments »


Bunny Poop ROCKS!!!

And flies SUCK!!!!

So make a fly trap. In a 2 liter pop bottle drop in a couple tablespoons of raw hamburger. Then put a funnel into the top and wire it down so the stem of the funnel extends into the bottle. Then pour some water in, just enough to cover the hamburger.

Hang this near the rabbit cage.

You'll barely smell the rotting meat but the flies will LOVE it and flock into the funnel to dine on its lovelyness. But they are too stupid to get back out so they fall in the water and drown.

When the bottle is about half full of nasty dead flies, cap it and throw it away, and make a new one.

If you catch wild baby rabbits, can they be raised into pets?

4 Comments »

Or better just to raise them into haasenpfeffer?

This is illegal in most states. Who you eat is up to you, but keeping wild rabbits is a nono. Check into this site under "what to do if I find wild babies"
http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html
for more information. Or eat them, if that is your preference.
