I want to grow out my grass pasture and just cut it when its long, then dry it out on clean cement in the sun and use that for hay for my show and meat rabbits. ;) I can't use our alfalfa pasture as the hay is to rich in protein and will cause kidney failure in rabbits.
You have a very nice setup! Your rabbits look very happy and healthy, most meat rabbit breeders give rabbits poor conditions but you have a nice place for them!
@vaughtlindsey Thank you for your nice comment. When we expand our rabbitry I hope to do larger cages for my breeding does and move my bucks into the current does cages. I want my rabbits to be as happy and healthy as possible.
i wouldn't suggest feeding too many fruits and vegetables to rabbits. It can upset their stomach and give them diarrhea. Usually the only time I feed them anything like that is for does nursing kits. One or two carrots a day until the kits come out of the nest box. Also the show rabbits get a raisin or two and sometimes a small slice of banana. Other than that, I would refrain from anything but pellets and hay.
I'm breeding n raising meat rabbits... I fed my baby rabbits carrots @ a young age n their doing fine... I love the shelf u have the cages in did u buy it or build it if u bought it where did u buy it n how much thx
I wouldn't feed large quantities but every other day or so I give my rabbits a liitle something. I give them grass, tops off the carrots i eat, radish tops, apple slices. Every rabbit is different so just give small amounts until you see how the rabbit does. Probably the reason someone told you not too is because large quanitities can give rabbits diahrea and that can be deadly. So start small and try a few things with your rabbits.
so it is safe to feed my 11 week old rabbit veggie's someone told me that they would die if i fed them veggies i know i want my rabbits to eat veggie's. My buck is slowly getting use to being handled and loved.
your setup you got their i wish i had that big of a yard to do that with my rabbits but for now bugsbunny gets out for about 1 hour for a run an play time and to eat grass. he is only 11 weeks old right now he hasn't got the idea of eating the hay quiet yet but he will get the hang of it.
should i give my buck carrots at this age or should i wait until he is 2 to 3 months old i have herd you could kill a 11 week old rabbit by giving him veggies at this age. but i don't know.
@clydester124 Thanks for the comments. I do feed my babies a limited amount of vegetables including carrots but it makes up a very small percentage of their diets. I want them to learn to eat fresh foods. Some rabbits I have purchased from other breeders will not always eat fresh fruits and vegetables so I introduce it early to my rabbits to ensure they will take it later. We are very blessed to have a large yard. Good luck with your breeding.
rabbits for my two big snake's and to help out other people who have big snake's that take rabbits. i know bad me but this way they are treated humanly and with kindness. i treat all my animals with love and care and they will be put down humanly I have not figured out how but i am thinking of a way that is the most humain way to do it.
i know bad me but hey my snake's have to eat and as long as they are treated right like all animals should be then their is nothing wrong with it. but i like
nice looking cages and nice spacey area i Have a black and brown pawed buck which is going to be my breeder i don't know what breed he is until he gets a little bit bigger i got him from my feed store sense he was so cute and so friendly. then i am going to get a black and blue doe that will probably 7lbs when she is full grown. but my plans are to breed every so often give them a month off or so when i don't need them to breed. but i breed rats and guinea pigs and i have just got into breeding
I've got two does and a buck ordered at the moment. I am lookin at lots of vids to see the different set ups and peoples different breeds. I am getting two half NZW half Cali does and the buck will be a PB NZW. Keep the updats coming for the people starting off with rabbits. Thanks
@g04bf03f We wish you luck with your new rabbits. We have really enjoyed ours. I am lookin forward to my first litter and will keep everyone updated as things move forward.
Great stuff. I am breeding four doe's and I have more bunnies than we eat. I have sold a few to help pay for feed and given some to family. So awesome to see more people growing their own food. Rabbits are really starting to catch on.

@txdurk Since this video was taken I have painted the hutches to help ensure they hold up in the weather.
