Hi all,
Looking for some help. I am getting 2 rabbits given to me to raise for meat. I am in the process of getting their hutch ready. I know nothing about raising rabbits and hope you all can help answer my questions?
- What should my rabbit hutch look like? Is bales of hay a good idea for digging and burrowing in?
- Do I put in a movable wall to separate them once babies have arrived so buck will leave doe alone?
- Nesting box? how many do I need? How far off the floor should they be?
- I've been told they will go in a litter bow once they decide a spot, is this true?
- Will they drink from a pot of water until I get the watering system hooked up?
- Food they are giving me the rest, so I will buy the same -- Pellets. And occasionally hard veggies of course carrots. Not a lot of greens.
Anything else I may be missing?
