Do you know any videos of building these cages? Thanks

@Farmboy307 No, but it's explained well in the recommended book. Click on the link at the bottom of the video.

i live in the city, and i checked with our city ordinances it says that raising rabbits along with other livestock like chickens and rabbits and such is prohibited. yes i understand i "could" grow them, but how do you work around ordinance issue? or do you just do it and hope you don't get caught and fined?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@SasieSpice You do it anyway. Try to do it secretly, but be prepared for Civil Disobedience. You have the right to use your property in the way you choose as long as you don't harm others. Their ordinance is unlawful. They won't prevent them from enforcing it however because we have a very corrupt system on all levels and they have the police and the guns. Another option if you get caught: They are just pets, not livestock. Most "allow" pets. We are going to have to resist eventually

also when building the cages and placing the buck and does. does it matter where. my grandfather keeps the bucks on the top and the does on the bottom. please reply and thank you

[thenewsurvivalist]

@Simulationkid I don't believe it makes a difference. I've never tried that and I've had no problems.

Rabbits are easy to raise even in an apartment. Worm boxes literally remove all odors. I forage all of the food for my rabbits. I only ever buy mineral salts. Enough forage can be harvested to feed 6 adult rabbits through the winter. I have only had to forage one day per week through the Spring, early Summer and Fall to keep them well fed. Find someone that will trade Rabbit meat for chicken. Then you can add fat to your diet. Eggs too. I love rabbit liver and eggs for breakfast.

i would use wooden nest boxes and also when there are no babies put peice of flat wood on pat of base of cage and replace when needs replacing i know slightly more cleaning put happier rabbits also you should not pick rabbits up like that why not make them a bit tame so you can pick them up nicely after all you probly not gonna eat parents not as nice meat

@trizkit85 if kept together all the time, bucks will spray the does, and your does will end up smelling like ammonia and be yellow colored.
