Next winter I'm adding pipes to stick out the bars leading to the crock water bowls so i don't have to open the cage at all 🤞

I've only ever heard of this in regard to a survival situation. They say to eat the brain which is high in fat. Liver also. We should be eating these parts anyway.

Someone told me that "our goal is to make sure the rabbits only have one bad day"

by the way, if you ever have something that doesnt come off with vinegar? there is a commercial cleaner that is meant to remove calcium Lime Rust- its called CLR and is sold in hardware and cleaning stores. it is VERY strong and must be rinsed off very thoroughly before rabbits (or your bare skin) touch it. vinegar is much safer

Never had rabbit meat.. I would try it.. but I just wanted to try to make money with it.

My rabbits keep laying these little eggs , but they taste like shit. I'm gonna keep my chickens...

Excellent and thoughtful, well articulated series of considerations before starting out. Especially the need to have the backing of the spouse or kids. You're right about the difficulty of dispatching a rabbit. Not at all sure I could do it. Processing the rabbit once dead - that is a pretty standard hunter's skill that I perceive as generally more socially acceptable. Thanks for the thorough treatment of a unexpectedly complicated set of issues. I guess this is why not everybody is doing it!

Camels, rabbits, pigs moles, mice, lizards, cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc. are unclean, or unfit to eat (Leviticus 11:4-8 and verses 29-31).

Hi. After using Ivermectin to kill parasites on two NZs, the buck still shakes his feet. He had big growths on his toes,which are now gone. But he likes to put his feet in the watrer? It seesm like something is reallhy bthering him, but I can't see any infection.

me who cant even find a rabbit

I wish I found this video along time ago. I have had 3 meat rabbits in a colony style for almost a year now. No babies. I got them when they were 10 weeks old. No freaking babies yet. I’m losing my mind. I checked to make sure my boy was in fact a boy and he is. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

Used to raise rabbits in my garage when I lived in a HOA. Glad I no longer live in an HOA!

Dudes trying to sound smarter than he actually is almost every word is nonsense

Quickest chore on our homestead

You had me at "wife in the cage".

👍👍

What of pork, sir?

Great info! Thanks for that!

Thank you. Super helpful. Would have never guessed to look for 24” tall cages since I generally only see 18”. Def a market for the 24” I want to make my own cages but haven’t heard any talk about how to avoid the sharp edges when cutting the wire.

Incredibly informative. Love channels like this!

Ducks are the least destructive farm animals. They can be allowed almost anywhere to do their activity, even in your greenhouse and veg garden. Natural insecticide and eat sugs and produces high-quality eggs for all above.

I ate wild rabbit as a kid.it was a little gamey and tougher than tame rabbit . Ive wanted to raise meat rabbits for my family but they said they saw them as pets. Ive allways wondered why never was a staple meat in the u.s. i guess the pet factor was why. Ive priced dressed rabbit and it is very expensive

Probably too late to get an answer, but do you only feed dandelion leaves or also the flowers?

Sound Work 👍🏾👍🏾

Sorry, chickens wins hands down over rabbits. Chickens produce eggs as well as meat. I raise both and chickens are cheaper to raise.

Thank you for this video. Very educational!!

If I like the attributes from the first two but I am also after more interesting pelts I am a little confused on of it would be better to just choose something like a Rex or try breeding the New Zealand with a Rex to try and keep some of the nice attributes

I want their sht

What about carrots and lettuce for feeding your rabbits?

Learned some useful info. Thanks.

That white rabbit though...oh lawd he chonky

Does Comfrey roots grow around water tanks or pipes?

How do you deal with predators and the cold winters?

I think that's cruel killing poor rabbits for meats 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

Sam!! I’ve been binging your videos like crazy! SO much super helpful info for someone just starting out. I’m on the hunt for the 14 gauge wire and I think I saw it somewhere but I’ve watched so many of your videos, I can’t remember which one you said the best dimensions for a cage? I’m trying to figure out how much wire I’ll need if I build my own! Please save me from watching all videos again (even though I’ll revisit many on purpose) and tell me your cage dimensions! Really appreciate all your succinct info and have already recommended your channel twice since the short time I found it! You’re doing a great job and helping the rabbit raising industry across the globe!! 🇨🇦

I tried raising meat rabbits . I have hunted , fished and trapped all my life . About 48 years out of my 56 years of living . Domestic rabbits are the hardest one for me .

Rabbit meat lacks in protein. Chickens produce a steady supply of eggs, and meat from bugs and grass.

Just getting started on rabbits. Thanks for the info man. Invaluable.

We raise and process quail and chickens now. Our goal is to be more self sufficient and rabbits are our next step for a variety.

So just wondering how does rabbit taste like, and what are some other animals to consider (i do like to eat duck, would they be good?) To why i would like to do this (joining military for 4 years, live in a van to save money and travel, than buy a house somewhere away from a bunch of people but close enough to have stuff to do than were i live in yellowknife)

How to buy? Can u sent me link

I raised 200 Cornish Cross meat birds last summer and am moving to meat rabbits for every reason this gentleman has articulated. I can tell we have had the same realizations and come to the same conclusions 😂

Eating rabbits is the same as eating dogs and cats and humans. Shame on you! Rabbits are the number 3 pet worldwide, after dogs and cats. Eating them is uncivilized and you should be ashamed of it, not flaunting it.

Thank you!

Nice touch on the subject. Great videos. Just started my breedings this past summer and watched your videos and took lots of advices

We have maple tree so winter the leaves fall off becomes dry leaves my rabbit loves them .

Good to know...and as I drive around my city I pick up bags of leaves. I also use them for bedding for chickens.

This has been an awesome video to randomly pop up on my feed. What makes this interesting for me is likely a bit different than most of your viewers. I am currently in the process of designing a TTRPG to introduce the kiddos to the hobby. In my experience, a common goal players set for themselves is to do something like starting their own tiwn or settlement. I have been working out material for this in a way that incorporates real world practucal knowledge so they learn as they play the game. One thing often glossed over in the field of TTRPGs is the logistucs of eating. It usually is either handwaved away or is about foraging/hunting- but suvh a thing comes down to rolling dice on a table. There is no real knowledge or interaction. You're video was well done and very informative. It was unintentionally perfect for me to stumble on. Can't wait to dive into your other videos and learn what I can.
