Been searching all over for answers and can't seem to find anything that states or lists the following:
I have gotten a good start to my rabbits now or at least I think so. Found 10 more rabbits last night that I am picking up. Here are my questions and I know a lot of you have raised rabbits as well.
How long (years) can a doe produce?
How long can a buck do his thing?
How many rabbits can 1 buck service? And a day?
How far apart does the line have to be keep breeding?
I will have have 4 Californian Does, 2 bucks and 4 Red Satin does and 2 bucks. Do I need a different mix of bucks? More, less? If you cross these does anyone know what kind of meat they will produce? Or do I need to stick with all of one breed or try and find New Zealands? Those are hard to find and no one has any.
It is all new to me but would like to do it proper. I am raising mainly for my family and Bird of Prey Program that rehabilitates injured birds to release back into the wild.
