Rabbit raising Part 1 homesteading, survival, survivalist, peak oil, long term food storage

Don't know what youtube has changed in the uploading process but this is the SIXTH try in uploading this video. Been at it for nearly a full DAY......

Part 1 of our new series on raising rabbits looks at equipment needed for rabbit raising as well as helpful hints in getting started. This series has been in the works for six months as we have tried to capture video of kits at various ages and stages of growth.

This new series is about raising rabbits for MEAT, i.e, to EAT. Be forewarned that we will discuss rabbit raising in that format and later videos will show some butchering - with a warning before it actually comes up. So for the PETA crowd, men of the other gender and the "we won't eat anything with eyes" crowd, you'll probably want to skip these videos.

I guess it's how you look at it. We use those little catch latches like used on dog leashes, so it's easier for us to have the doors swing outwards. Makes retrieving the does to take them to the buck easier. To each his own.

[SurvivalReport]

You could get these type at pretty much any feed store, Tractor Supply, Farm and Fleet type store.

Sorry to hear that. Either door in or door out, you have to make sure they are locked. We started using the little connectors like are on dog leashes in addition to the normal pull down clip lock. Our dogs would have gotten a whack over that also. ;)

Man...thats one thing I would have trouble doing initially(im sure id get used to it) would be butchering an animal id seen born. Sigh...yup, im not a vegetarian but im a bleeding heart. How do you keep from getting attached Robert?

[SurvivalReport]

@nijaexhile3 Do you buy a quarter pounder at Burger King and then go home and mourn it? No, you realize it's FOOD. You might not have "known" the cow that sits between the bun but it was an animal nevertheless. Yes the rabbits are cute and cuddly, but they are almost tasty and good for you ;)

LOL @ "PETA types and other idiots"

I call em assetts. Their swift idealistic deaths after SHTF will be a big help in reducing competition for food.

Go hippies!

I love rabbit meat, the fur is really nice as well. A tip I can give you for the waste tray is use a pastry dough scraper. It works fantastic and gets the waste out of the corners quickly as well. Vinegar will help clean it all up quick too. Great video!

God Bless you and your family.

The door is on correct. If you forget to latch it one day, you'll understand why.

[judderwocky]

[HomeMadeGunNut]
