Hope he gets better man

Thanks for the video! I'm in the research phase and thinking about using this method for meat rabbits. After a few months of using it, would you say there is definitely enough room in these for the buck and doe to be comfortable even while raising the kits? At what age do you pull them into a grow out?

Bodybuilder farmer... I love it haha

"We want to help it but we're not gonna put in the effort" 🤡💩

I am so glad I found your channel .

Thank you Kummer. Your channel is truly educational and inspirational. You're doing a phenomenal job in preparing your audience for the difficult times ahead. Godspeed!

Hope it gets well😢😢❤❤

This is why animals dont talk to humans

Google "bumblefoot" and see if that matches up with the injury

The fact that they're in such a small box...

What’s the purpose of the magic water?

The way they are continually stretching and yawning thats not good

Are they royal palm?

Watched a few of your chicken videos today. Thanks for taking the time to share what you’ve learned as you homestead. Good luck with your future move!

KH made a follow-up video (I think a bit over two years after this one). He abandoned the netting effort, but shared some helpful tips if you should want to try it yourself. czcams.com/video/ZDhxrqvlGj8/video.htmlsi=mJmlPyCEoOOkw7Jl

6:30 I watched the 3-yr old netting video, and was glad to find this follow-up.

They eat what they find in the yard, all my rabbits share a cup of pellets, they dig holes and stuff.

I’d love instructions on how you built! Any modification suggestions for cold climate weather? Live near the Rocky Mountains: snow 4-6 months out of the year, melts quickly due to high elevation.

Here is the "Magic Water" recipe: 1 gallon filtered warm water 2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup raw honey 2 cloves raw garlic, smashed or minced

What is the dimensions of the tractor in LxWxH?

A very interesting design. Thank you for creating this video and sharing the idea with us. I would have 2 questions though thinking about starting a colony myself. 1. What kind of filter are you using for the rainwater, how is it called and where could I get one of those. 2. What do you think about putting the mesh on the bottom just 10cm under ground level and creating a dirt pile over it so that they can dig a vertical hole? I have sandy dirt and would be afraid that stepping over one of those underground holes would result in a rabbit fatality. Thank you for the content and greets from the old continent 👍

Do you keep your breeding pairs together year-round, this is what I would like to do but I can't find any information on it

Thanks for sharing the update. I'm designing a colony based on some of your ideas.

My Grandparents did that with their chickens too. Also once a week my Grandma would ntake all the potatoepeels and cook them for a while and when cooled down them to the chickens (they just normal domestic chickens) and went NUTS over it.

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF?

So, what's wrong with feeding them corn or soy?

Very interested in small colony arrangements' Because I sell breeders, I do need to be able to know what kits which litter.

Does English/American not divide the animals into Rabbit and Hares? they are very different in terms of social behavior. I can see why people get confused if these two gets mixed up. Honestly it seems cruel to keep Rabbits in those wire cages.

Very very interested in the dimensions for these! They seem to mitigate all my issues with keeping rabbits in colonies

I would say all livestock is as good as what you feed them and as soon as you go cheap commercial feed/factory farm style it will be way less healthy...I don't think you can raise any livestock as cheap as factory farms so it is pointless to try. I think chickens are better then hogs and the ideal of compost aid is the reason I raise them but if you are looking for efficiency then I would guess you should go for fish farms. Willing to bet that a diverse diet of animal protein is more of the correct answer then the one type of "super animal"

😭 oh man I can’t un-hear this !no really ,ignorance is not bliss thank you for sharing , it’s a lot to think about

How often are you seeing litters is it every 4-6 weeks. I really like this idea and would want to use it myself, but really only want about 4-6 litters total a year from my doe.

New Zealand have never been a wild rabbits they was breed in the 20 in California

I love your set up. I tryed a colony setup but had health problems with the rabbits and the other does kept killing the others does kits and I tryed with two different groups it didn't work. So I do breed rabbits in cages but there cages are huge and they are gave alot of fruits and vegetables. I wanna try breeding in colony again any ideas cause I have problems with my other does killing the other bunnies. Kits.

Thank you Kummer. I was completely ignorant about this topic. Thanks also for the informative links. I plan to do my own research and report back if different from yours.

Maybe try jungle fowl breeds from Asia as alternative, It's lean meat. Some people may not like it as a bit tough but really popular in South East Asia. Pretty close to pheasant about the instinct and how to raise but the meat is not gamey and they can get use to human easier than pheasant.

Does this apply to their eggs as well?!

Chicken and eggs are very healthy. Pheasants were commonly eaten but whens the last time anyone saw one of those.

I like you idea of 1 buck 1 doe for a breeding group in this setup, are they having litters every 4-6 weeks? I would love this if I could keep the litters down to every 2-3 months.

I let my yard rabbit borrow and give birth underground in the yard. I finally decided to intervene because i smelled something dead for two days; mom wasn't "taking care of it". They ALL had filthy eyes, one had nest box eye so bad i wondered if it was gonna lose it (terramycin). I won't do that again. Maybe if it's a box that i made with a lid and i can check on them. I learned my lesson.

This is amazing! I’m inspired and am going to pull this for reference. 🤝

I didn't know Silverbacks could build rabbit hutches 💪💪💪 how many rabbits do you need to eat per day 💪💪💪

The first one really enjoyed being help. The second one definitely did not

Great buckets I love buckets.

Turn down your audio

I’m from Nsw Australia 🇦🇺 and dad used to do this all the time

Fermented grains a good starter for moonshine 😊

Beautiful dog I love German Shepherds

Drink chickens lol
