What nice looking rabbits you have!! I can't wait to see how big the babies get and how much meat you get from them. I will be adding some Rabbits soon, and this thread is definately a valuable learning source for me! I will be watching for updates

I'm looking to start Rex and Angoras; primarily for meat, fur, wool secondary. Perhap[s Beveren's - soft spot for Belgium connection - especially if could find rex'd bev's. Anyone know of colorado breeders? or nearby? Also, thinking of basement, since it gets so hot here in summer. any experience?

I don't know any breeders, I actually found my bucks on CL. I keep mine in the basement. I'm just starting out but the hardest thing is cleaning cages. If I fall behind on my cleaning schedule it gets rank. But other than that I like them inside.

Thank you.... I'm excited to see the grow out on the 2 wk litter cause some are getting big quick.

Mine are almost 2 weeks too. We'll have to compare weights.

My Silver Fox & Cal/NZ mix rabbits will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and I will start a new grow out thread too.
Love meat rabbits. Today we processed more of the other litter which is 3 months old now. Nice and meaty guys.

Your litter weights are great.
