Please i adopted two NZ rabbit male and female both are indoor. I'm bothered about their mating. I read it's not proper for two rabbit siblings to mate and mine lives together in my house without a cage
Good video. I raise NZ Whites as well. Just a suggestion; instead of purchasing plastic (wind blocks) cut your plastic feed sacks in half. That is how I do it. Works great and saves money.
I find these animal education videos fascinating. Wish I lived in a location that chickens and rabbits were an option!
Rabbits should be an option no matter where you are. As should quail. They are not considered farm animals so you can even keep them inside city limits. You can keep both or either inside your house or apartment if that is your choice. I personally brooded out my quail inside my home and keep a rabbit inside as a pet and have my breeding stock on my back porch. So far it's worked wonderfully for me. I live inside city limits so i can't have chickens or ducks or geese but i can have hundreds of quail because they are a wild species. Go figure
Quail and rabbits could be inside if you really want to. Just a thought. Janice
I live in the city and have 12 chickens and a rooster. It just depends on how chill your neighbors are lol 😆 and the rooster has a no crow collar so he's not very loud at all.
Truly the best-looking rabbitry on youtube. Great systems.
great info for self sufficient-minded folks
Awesome and informative video on Rabbits 101. Many Thanks!
Excellent job with your animal husbandry!
17:20
There's a hen in the background laying an egg while we're watching to does build nests for their babies. Beautiful stuff
yes there was thank you.
Such a great, informative video. All the things I wanted to see, all here 😊 want to get into raising rabbits soon.
Thank you so much! 👍
NICE SET UP DOBSON👍
Thanks for sharing. Am a beginning my rabbitory today😄😄 and this is so helpful information. 🤗
Thank you so much very much enjoyed it still contemplating getting chickens to grow for food
I really enjoyed watching your video and I also love your rabbits.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video and share the informatione with us.
God bless
Very informative channel. Thank you for sharing.
Great work
This is lovely, please continue on rabbits
I used to freeze rabbit and without fail some of it would go to waste because it would get freezer burnt. This year I discovered pressure canning rabbit meat and it has been amazing! I highly recommend it.
I use heat shrink bags for poultry and rabbits and no freezer burns. I provide a lot of gluten free recipes for my rabbit and chicken. I also have videos showing how to can. I've accumulated 100s of different canned vegetables, soups, and stews.
I used vacuum seal bags to try and prevent freezer burn, but some of the bags would get punctured by a sharp bone and break the seal :/
This reminds me of my childhood growing up in our province with different animals my parents had.
Awsome set up thank you sir
Wow very cool
Im going to be setting up in rabbitry very soon. Just going to start small as husband and I are both older and both disabled. Just want something that is less work and more pleasant that meat chickens! So Ill start with 2 Flemish Giant does and 1 NZ white buck and 1 California buck so that everyone is for sure unrelated and go from there. God bless you in 2021!
Wow keep up the good work
Awesome video very entertaining
Awesome video thank you
Nice work dobs! That's whay I need to do.
This is the real life-nature in action buddy😎
I really enjoyed your video
Nice management and good cares
I am trying to start a small scale rabbitry for my family. This is inspiring! Thank you :) My rex is not doing his job well so I've bought a male flemish/cali mix to breed with my NZ. Hopefully he does the trick lol.
You can do it!
Thank you for sharing.
We always had rabbits growing up and my god my mom could cook it so well
My Rex rabbits all came from one location. I believe the buck fathered the does. You can't beat free though! And they were lovely and healthy when I picked up.
My other two breeds came from different locations. I really enjoy seeing other people's rabbitries, everyone sets up so differently. Once I've finished my new setup, I'll have to make a video of it
superb
Bunnies are a lot of work. Pretty smart- my rabbit came when I called
they're easier than most other animals and cheaper too
I like videos
Thank you! So much good information on the rabbits! Do you have a cook video of the rabbits that’s your favorite recipe?
Yes look in the gluten free recipes directory.
Ranch Pro in my area is 2$ less per bag than producers pride. You find it at Atwoods and it’s a 16% feed while PP is 15%
👍👍
What do you do with old/retired does and bucks? Do you cull or rehome?
How in the world do you keep track of who is who? Great video by the way.
👍👍👍👍👍
she will give birth , I am from Indonesia very nice rabbits
Do you do this for your meat consumption or do you sale it? I am in the process of getting my rabbitry but I am not interested on processing myself and only to sale. Where do you suggest on a good platform to post them? I’ve tried craigs list but not really successful.
what size of a cage for 3-4 rabbits? where to buy cages & hay and what type?
👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@2:17. Acrossed is not a word.
Ok so when raising them for meat they basically live in a small pen with no need to free range outside in a safe contained area? I’m considering starting with a few but I think I want them to have access to soil and grass to roam during the day. If I do that will they fight or can females get along this way?
I have 11 rabbits I’ve sold 4 this month for $20 each I love your set up
Could I get a shout out
Thank you. I've been trading rabbit meat for fresh pork and beef. I just copied the links for other videos in the description.
I'm sure you know that wire can be purchased with plastic coating on it. It is a little more expensive but it is easier on the feet of the animal. I 1/2 ''X 2'' for the bottom lets the poop and urine drop into a tray.
I use 1/2 by 1/2 welded wire for my enclosures. Everything falls through. I've never seen and problems with my rabbits paws. I harvest at 3 months when they are 5 lbs. I raised the mating bucks and does to 4 years with no problems either. Most of what you read about wire bottoms being a problem on rabbits paws is horse manure.
I dont know where you are located but that producer pride stuff is expensive i just got a bag because i needed it and it was dang near 17.00 at tractor supply. Now if you can find white oak mills rabbit pellet, its a 18% and a lot better quality than producers pride and like 13.00 a bag
I used a lot of orchard grass.
Love your rabbits, I'm renting so I'm trying to see what I can do
Are you every going to put out any new videos
I’m not sure how you consider 4 kits high production?
So my biggest fear is my rabbits freeze in the winter here in zone 6B Pa. I tp covered my rabbit hutch with 6mil plastic and I bought a poorer neater to be installed in the hutch. Do you think 6 mil is thick enough to protect the rabbits?
I've seen several articles indicating rabbits may have trouble below 40F. I myself have not had troubles with adult rabbits down in the twenties F. I always protect my mothers with kits by adding heat lamps. I also have a nursery area covered with tarps to block the wind. I make sure my rabbits can't get wet from rain when it is cold.
@@Herman47 I brought them in the basement
@@Herman47 My husband would NOT allow them in the house. They are comfortable in the basement with space to run around.
@@Herman47 My fear was them freezing outside in their rabbit hutch. I had them in the basement last winter with no issues.
Where are you from
Do you still have rabbits?
smol kagesos u hav i fink.
Where did you purchase your rabbits from?
a local breeder. I bought his whole stock since he was retiring. I periodically swap a few rabbits with other breeders to keep my line fresh.
Rabbits dont make the noise that poultry does.
true
and most people can get around city problems and declare their rabbits as pets
We have a huge problem with flies but the quail try their best to catch them. I put bins under my cages that catches the poo. Soldier flies breed in their poo and i sift them out and feed them back to them. So their food goes thru them twice. Savings. Cha ching! The rabbit poo i put straight into my garden beds.
I had a massive fly problem this year but resolved it using this fly predator product. spalding-labs.com/products/fly_control_products/default.aspx
I use the rabbit manure for my beds also.
@@dobson777a i had no problem with flies in my rabbit poo just my quail. Luckily most were soldier flies so cha ching. Free food for the same quail. The ones i hate are the bottle flies( standard house flies and now the fruit flies). The fruit flies are mainly driving us crazy by flying in our faces and into our drinks.
I saw another rabbitry put window screen on the back of their fans. The bugs get sucked up against it and dried out. They'll turn off the fans every couple of days to let the chickens pick them off the ground.
It makes them have more baby's the older they get
" that rooster is driving me crazy" .... Chicken & dumplings is in his future if he keeps it up ...
I have been trying to find New Zealands for our homestead here in Southern Alabama, do you know of anyone in this area with them?
go to local feed stores and find out who is buying lots of rabbit feed.
@@dobson777a Thanks
What would be the best rabbit to start breading rabbits good to keep and sell
I grow new Zealand rabbits
Do you have any tips for a Doe that refuses to breed? She's had one litter and was a great mom but she's just flat refusing to breed again. Im in Louisiana
Are you moving the doe to the buck?
Yes. And I also tried swapping cages It didn't work.
I still can't get her to breed
@@dobson777a yes. And I've tried the cage swap. I've read the reduced amount of daylight could be an issue. Im getting frustrated. But won't give up
I've heard stories that does can carry two litters. It could mean than she could still be pregnant so she may not mate. I've had a few picky females and when they don't mate I just skip a cycle and then remate next time around. There are many reasons why she wont mate like maybe she has a headache or maybe she's married now so she wont have sex with her buck but might fool around with another buck. ;)
@@dobson777a she's definitely not pregnant
Give them apple and maple sticks and branches to chew they will stop eating the hutch.
8:11 gad dem this is whot? terminator? wy eyes glowing?
Do your chickens eat the poop?
No. They scratch for worms and bugs.
how many rabbits a year dom you eat?
about 30 to 4 a year.
Do they pull fur or no
can't say I've notice this problem.
My rooster crow at 3am
Rabbit taste like rabbit, Chicken taste like chicken, Pork taste like pork . LOL
Actually no. Farm raised rabbit tastes like a cross between pork and chicken.
@@dobson777a And if someone tried to eat a person you know, how would that person taste, do you think?
@@Herman47 probably should think about why you were gifted with four canine teeth for ripping flesh. Rabbit is a fine meal and eaten all over the world. Mel Gibson in the Patriot stated a dog is a fine meal. I've ready historical accounts that families swapped babies in Weimar republic during hyperinflation to cook and feed their families. Your point?
@@dobson777a Is your life so lacking in a higher purpose that cruelty tastes sweet?
@@Herman47 I feel sorry for you since you must have been raised by a single SJW mother.
New subscriber here sir. Hope I can get a gift or bunny from you soon... I'm setting up my rabbitry here in philippines..
I don’t like how low they are and you walk by them
They can’t even turn around in those small neSting boxes
19:40 one baby.. I wouldn’t keep her .. or the baby
They have not enough space and 0 environmental stimulation :(
That is not right it makes them have more baby
God said dont eat rabbits
Mathew 15: 11It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
JESUS the Lord and Savior declared in the above verse that it isn't what you eat that corrupts you. As a Christian What Jesus says or does goes there is no other way. Remember Jesus could not lie or else that would be a sin and if he stated in Mark that what you eat will not corrupt you then by the good grace of God I am inclined to believe it.
Christian's are tied to the new testament which overwrite the old laws. Jews are stuck in a time warp of the old testament because they never recognized Jesus as their Savior.
That was in the Old Testament we are not part of that Mosaic Law ....we are part of the New Testament. God said all is good ...so you can eat pork, shrimp, rabbits everything!
The Law of Moses doesn't apply to Christians. Christ fulfilled the Law of Moses as the final blood sacrifice.
While all of you who won’t eat rabbits have empty stomachs, ours are full and we just give thanks and ask for forgiveness 👀
Those pellet food holders where u get them? Or u make them? The ones u have sitting on the ground the red/white color ones.
