Looking good are you raising them for food or to sell now?

These are all small breeds destined to be pets or breeders. Considering getting some meat rabbits to try but i wonder how much they consume in feed.

I found this article which I think might be helpful. I just Googled how much does a meat rabbit eat.

Thanks KD. They eat about twice as much as little rabbits.

Yeah, it seems that way. Which could get expensive depending on how many you have.

But then again rabbit meat can sell for a lot I think. But it might be a process preparing them to sell legally and selling the rabbits live they might sell for less.

I guess it depends if you think it's worth it or not.

Maybe just keep a couple for yourself? Like to make meat for you guys or the dogs to eat

I have thought about it, my dog is not too thrilled with her current food.

Give it a shot as it is a meat not wildly used in dog food as mine was
papaya not always available is a natural digestive aid, goats milk yogurt is not
used in most dog food I built mine in regards to thinking to go out from what was widly used I used eggs with the shell When I did a chicken based food I cooked it in a pressure cooker so I could adds bone and all same with rabbit it was a cooked food but
left of center if the dog had allergies to rice I would make it with sweet potato and
russet potato

G'morning

There's coffee and hot water ready. I was up half the night, my head is splitting so I'm having a second cup, but there's plenty.

Have a good day everyone.
