Here is a web site that directs you to rabbit buyers ,,, if I read the page correctly Pel-Freez pays $1.67 a pound for your rabbit ,,, Craig's List ads for rabbit meat processed $5-$7 a poundjust came across this thread and wondering are meat rabbits worth it? i don't plan on breeding them (maybe buying 5 or 6 to butcher), just for a special treat (as my grandma loves rabbit) its not the killing part the bugs me or worry's(i love hunting me some rabbits). me its all the time, effort and money. is it worth it? i enjoy eating rabbit (well wild rabbit).
You have some precocious ones! My Silver Fox kits were weaned by 6 weeks old (and never really harassed the doe) but a few of the New Zealand kits are still tying to get extra meals from mom at almost 8 weeks old.Mine weaned themselves at 4 weeks They're SO chubby now...
Quote: It has often struck me as ironic that a lot of those processors rate their demand as much better than their supply . . . when you factor in all the expenses involved in producing that 5 pound fryer, is it worth while to grow it up, load it up and deliver it to the processor for $5.50? Apparently, there aren't a lot of people who think so.
They are! I had no idea they would be so earlyYou have some precocious ones! My Silver Fox kits were weaned by 6 weeks old (and never really harassed the doe) but a few of the New Zealand kits are still tying to get extra meals from mom at almost 8 weeks old.
They are! I had no idea they would be so early Silly babies! My doe had 2 litters in 2 months time... Maybe THAT'S why they weaned so early?
She was rebred on her kindling night! It was an accident!!
Its weird how rabbits can rebreed so quickly! Good thing all the kits in the previous litter weaned fast.She was rebred on her kindling night! It was an accident!!
