Date sort Score sort
Awesome pictures and good looking rabbits. Mind if I ask how you go about or plan on going about culling your rabbits? I've been sitting on the fence with the idea of raising meat rabbits.
 
Loving this thread!!! Good pics and vids and I'll be following the progress right along. We used to raise the NZ for some years and really like the breed. I'm throwing around getting a couple does and a buck come spring and trying out some FF whole grains on them, so I'll be enjoying reading about your buns. Keep on posting!
 
I tell the hubby how many I need...he takes care of business lol
I *can* but don't have to. :)
A piece of rebar bolted to the wall and bent at an angle seems to work perfectly...I wanna try it that way.
He's hunted rabbits on the property and a shot is quick. Don't like wasting ammo if we don't have to or buying air cartridges for the air guns that are supposed to do the deed very well.
 
I had a really good chuckle about the penguin....

Bunnies are doing great. Doe #1 has become awesomely docile. Wants scratches, nuzzels my head rolls her head when you hit "that sweet spot" and melts into my hand I love it.

Her kits are NOISY! Lol who'd of thunk? Squeaky, lil fluff balls can now get out of the nest to find mama to eat lol poor mama.

Doe #2 is warming up to me still. She was super scared when she arrived and has made a ton of progress. I can pet her, she shares her babies with me and she comes over for treats but still doesn't want to be picked up. Which is just fine! I do like making sure all animals know in ok to do as I please lol she will come around and want some if those bunny massages soon enough ;) lol

Her kits are doing well. Going to take some pics now :)
