@CountryLove27 Rabbits only nurse about once per day so you might not see it happen. Check the kits if their bellies look full that means she is feeding them. You can pull fur from her if you think they need it but it might be warm enough without it.
We are raising Californian rabbits also, due to a more sustainable lifestyle, reducing carbon foot print, reducing chemicals in our diets and giving a good life to the animals that give us meat. Something we do is mow our lawn using the bunnies, they do a super job, it reduces their need for other pelletized food by 40% and their meat seems higher due to exercise. Polyface farm has great designs for the pasture cages. Great work, if all do our little bit, this world may just make it.
@probablyjake Totally agree. I think sustainable living is something that just makes sense. No matter what your personal background, political affiliation and anything else we should all be able to agree on this. I have been wanting to figure out a way to feed the rabbits without the pellets. I found a good seed blend that would provide them with all their nutritional needs but I would have to make a rabbit tractor for each rabbit and I cant do that right now.
I noticed you touched the two week old rabbits in the nesting box, isn't that a no-no? I read somewhere that will cause the mother to kill them. I'm no expert and I am about to start construction on my hutch so you have WAY more experience than I do. Just wondering. Keep up the good work! I just moved the family to a twenty acre plot 100 miles out of Atlanta, I look forward to doing what you are doing on a little larger scale.
I'm impressed with your entire setup. Looks great. For the front of my rabbit cages, I can hang a piece of canvas, or tarp with nails through grommets, so the open front can be covered during extremely cold nights, or when there is a rain, snow, or sleet storm. Rain gutters off the roof collect rain water in a barrel for the rabbits, or garden. I don't know where you live, but you didn't mention pepper plants. Bottoms cut out of old milk jugs are good to cover plants to protect from cold.
You are absolutely right, no matter the reason everyone SHOULD grow food. Btw nice mounds, looks good, how did you make them

@Towardrisk just ran the tiller through and then use a shovel to make the paths and smooth them out.

@KainanRa My rabbit just had 6 kits but didn't pull any fur. And we don't know if she is producing milk or not? Any advice?

@KainanRa sustainable living is certainly not something we can all agree on people like me are far to lazy for it.

The second rabbit you showed is most likely a zew zealand chinchilla cross as it has the chinchilla coloring.

This is what ALL of us SHOULD be doing.....
However, you want to keep your melons away from each other if you ever want to keep seed true to the parent.
Good Job!
This shows what can be done in little space!
