    Raising Meat Rabbits

    Well I just finished putting on the roof, j feeders, and water nipples on my hutch. I still need to make hay racks and buy some dropping pan trays. Im having a hard time finding trays, they are so expensive. Does any one have any ideas on how to make trays?

    Can anyone tell me when setting up my automatic watering system do I need to use something different than the standard 1/4" clear tubing? I heard that the tubing can create algae and apparently that is bad for the rabbits?

    Raising Meat Rabbits

    I plan on raising NZ, Californian, maybe a Rex which are all medium sized breeds. I'm very fond of the Rex because I hear the fur is super soft.

    Is a 2' x 3' space enough for a buck to live in comfortably?

    Wow thanks bunny lady that's some great information. My cages dont have any partition between them, so now it looks like I'm going to put some up.

    Raising Meat Rabbits

    I have a pretty big hutch setup where it has five separate compartments. Three of them are 2' x 3' and two of them are 3' x 3'. Should I keep the doe and the buck in the compartments farthest from each other? Does it really matter? I read somewhere that they shouldn't be able to see each other...

    I wanted to start a little slower, would it be a problem if I started with just one buck and one doefrom different breeders?

    After you separate the kits from the mama, how long do you wait before separating the male kits from the females?

    Ok that makes a lot of sense. Here is another question that I'm sure people will have opinions on. How long do you wait to breed them again after they kindle? What is the healthiest option for the rabbit?

    I'm just now starting build my setup for a rabbitry, what method did you use to kill your rabbit? From videos I like the ringer option because it seems fool proof.

    Raising Meat Rabbits

    Thank you I will try to find the book. I have another question though. If I start off with just a buck and one doe should I try to get them from different breeders? Does it matter with rabbits?

    Raising Meat Rabbits

    Ok so I need some guidance on rabbits. I'm starting to set up my rabbit hutch. I live in Michigan and it is typically very cold here. Should I have a nest box in there all the time while it's cold?

    Are the baby chicks suppose to sleep like this?

    Since the chicks are still so small you can just put them in a bigger box until you get the rubber maid tub. They should be fine for two weeks in a big cardboard box still, but yeah the rubber tub is the best for the price.
