So that means they get to be " real bunnies" not kept in cages???

Yes. Most of our rabbits are kept in small 4x4 tractors. Those three, two does and a buck, how ever share a paddock with some of our chickens which is 50'x50'

Thanks. They're happier this way. In tractors and colony's.

I can imagine....And happy, healthy critters are more productive! I mean look at them rabbits, lots of babies, although they are rabbits, kinda what they do...

They're very cute, Dan!

I must have the world's only rabbits that don't breed It's been about two months since the last litter sadly died and the buck and doe have been together the whole time. No babies.

Huh. She didn't castrate him did she? They'll do that sometimes.

I'll check, but I don't think so. I feel like I would have noticed blood in the hutch if that happened, and I did see him mounting her the other day. I have read that bucks can have a natural period of infertility during the summer, so maybe it was that?
