They worked just fine for almost 10 years. I just enjoy birds more and we always felt bad processing perfect show rabbits as well because everyone would rather buy a mixed breed that even have a free purebred
Not those. Were getting out of rabbits so we just have two senior ones (turned 7 yesterday, a minilop and a harlequin), a show quality minilop buck we couldbt give away and a satin doe that our friend ended up not needing.
If you're referring to my post, I didn't say they were mean. Just that my experience and those in my area that raised them found them to be flighty and nervous whenever touched or handled
Mesh is fine, probably safer too. But I would put wood boards down in spots so they can let their feet take a rest occasionally.
We cook ours like a roast chicken and use chicken broth.
Killing kits isn't that uncommon. Often they do it because they're stressed or think they're in danger of predators. You must have gotten lucky with the friendly two
Just know New Zealand rabbits are not pets. They are the mammal equivalent of a leghorn and don't enjoy being handled, even if they were messed with since day one
