I'm watching a 2 yr old video but wanted to make a suggestion to use the black rubber bowls you get at Tractor Supply. They're heavy but bend to break the ice each visit during the winter and they don't get turned over like those silver bowls. Best 'investment' I've made for the winter time. They're basically indestructible. I feel you with girls not lifting. We have one that we have to constantly move.

Good Lord gril, you need a walk behind snow blower. The work and time you would save . 👍☺

Do you have printable breeding logs ? I'm currently using a calendar but these look really useful and easy to look at. Haha, never mind I went backwards in your video and see that you do!! Thanks lol

The separate grow up hutches is a good idea. I like that.

Love this. You are definitely better off raising your own meat even if a little more expensive. I’ve been to facilities that process meat and trust me it will make you thankful you’re raising your own meat.

If Darlene would’ve produced better like your other mama rabbits that would change your numbers maybe quite a bit. Your numbers now are worst case, which happens in real life. Appreciate all your info .

Dont forget to compost the deadkits in to the garden.

Can you please make rabbit videos down at your huch

I appreciate your openness!!

At 22:39 minutes, I meant to say dollars per pound. Not per rabbit. Sorry about that.

This level of honesty is exactly what we all need. Caring about what we eat by raising our own doesn’t make it cheaper. It means it’s self-controlled and healthy.

Another factor that most do not provide or track is the labor hours involved.

Silver fox are extremely expensive it seems

This brings reality to the forefront. I'm gonna keep at it anyway. Knowing where my food comes from is too important.

I do recommend leaving out the hay. spend your money on good pellet. last year I used purina complete and the grow out thrived on that but the breeders did not. The grow outs stayed at an "excellent rate" of growth on the meat rabbit chart on this. I have 1 buck and does but will be keeping a doe out of one of my litters this month. I like raising meat chicken about every other year and use them primarily to make dog food. I use the rabbit bones raw and ground as a dog food supplement.

This is great information. Thank you for sharing! A bale of grass hay here in Central IL is $5 / bale. I'm just getting started with meat rabbits (due to Kindle my 1st on Feb 4th). What I really learned in this video is that I can't depend on my does and bucks to perform well and the turn-around of 2-4 years of good production goes fast!

I have a Rabittery too. Been doing it for decades and your numbers make sense. Kind of high but No Judgement from me. I have heritage breeds too. American Sables( 3 females), Chinchilla( a trio) and Califormias( 2 males). I am up in Quebec North of you. I would suggest a few things to reduce your cost. I feed this everyday about 10-15% of their feed. Fresh or Dried works great. I give them comfrey and sugar maple leaves or apple tree leaves (they love twigs).Both account for 25% of their daily feed. They love it! Comfrey helps them greatly with digestion. Also always have Pine cones in their cage. They love to chew those. I find that many time they eat because they need to chew. The pine cones actually reduce the feed cost. 1 big cone last about 3 weeks. They get lots of Timothy hay and pellets 1x/day I have been feeding them like this for more then a decade. I plan 6 liters/ year. 5 does total. This year I harvested 208 kits with an average weight of 2.5 to 3 lbs. My point is that I grow or gather these 3 things and the only cost is my time. It's about a 25% savings yearly. Good luck!

Thank you for all the great informational videos youve put out for rabbits. Im new to this . I was wondering why some people say yiu must bleed out the rabbit soon affer dispatching while heart is still beating BUT then there are others who dont do that . Have you noticed any negative flavor difference in the meat by not bleeding out the rabbit. Thank you.

Hi. I have a question... How many times you let the big mama have babies. Before you look up for a new mom to continue the rabbit family? Thanks for sharing this Gem of information.

Thank you so VERY much for posting this video. It is extremely helpful.

I raise both Eggs provide the amino acids our bodies require and fats that a rabbit doesnt. Lowfat protein from the abundant meat a rabbit provides. Neither is better than the other Both compliment each other.

Is the rabbit meat the one on the right and the chicken on the left? I love your videos!!! My FAVORITE way to have rabbit is smoked. We have a treager pellet smoker and I adore bbq smoked rabbit. It’s heavenly. Its one of my kids favorite meals and Im constantly being asked when we are having smoked rabbit again. My rabbit set up is small so I ran out of rabbit and am currently waiting on some grow outs. We’ve also had some rough winter weather (-13 last night) and I need to adjust some things before having more babies. When summer comes I will be building more cages.

Yum. I can't wait to have more rabbit to cook with this spring. This looks delicious!

Oh, and I am guessing you are probably going to hold back that one baby of Lucky's that you love so much. She definitely is sweet! Maybe she will take after her mom in her great mothering!

Yay! I know I am six months late (I took a farming youtube break) but I am so glad you did this! I love it!

i really like the tip about "I put the feeders on the inside, because, if i dont, i wont open the cages and interact with the animals." thats wisdom that only comes with age. never had a rabbit. but im interested.

I don't understand this video.

When are you releasing a video of your rabbits

Thank you so much for sharing this Ashley! I knew that Dandelions were good for you and use the leaves and the flowers for my family and my rabbits but I never really used the root because all I had heard is it is a good coffee replacement and both my husband and I don't drink coffee. But I do have liver problems so now I really want to try this as something to help in my healing process!

Heading on over for the recipe now!!!

🤤 looks amazing!! Thank you! God bless! Soli Deo Gloria~

I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thanks. From my experience, rabbits all seem to be introverts and are happiest in their own cage. I thought about colony style, but I don't think I will venture that way.

I did this cedar branches in with my quail no more pecking hope this works for you love your video's

To get quail to stop pecking each other simply place a cedar branch in cage with them calms them down no need to separate. Works really well.

Awesome explanation

This is the 3rd time me trying to add this comment. go to look up disposable Shrinkable storage covers. save you on your plastic wrap.

Probably raccoons or possums

We are going to be getting our first meat rabbits, for the first time, this spring. I have been watching as many vidoes as I can. I appreciate the knowledge that you are sharing with us! Thank you!

72 year old rabbit lady here..still raising em.....❤ love your videos

Awesome job thank you

Thank you

Good job

I'm in Canada and we have really harsh cold temperatures, so we live for our heated dog bowls for our bunnies! So far it's been a blessing. 2 of my does are soiling their nesting boxes and now i'm wondering if i should just block them access to it for a bit until they catch on that they should do their business through the wire?.... I was given the hutch and they have built-in nesting boxes...

I would learn to master time management. With a fulltime job and running a homestead is challenging.

I need to learn how to make pasture/ grazing land. Our dirt is like talcum powder.

Which homesteading skills do you want to master in 2025? Let me know in the comments-I’d love to hear your goals! 🐓🌿🍞

I came back to try looking closer at your vacuum sealer and found a new channel name lol . Happy holidays

May YAH Bless
