I’m so Glad you like the channel. Rabbits are a joy. I completely understand even if you’re not producing them for a meat production, it’s still very rewarding to watch beautiful things grow. thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
That’s a common question. Cage Floor bottoms are the absolute best way to keep your rabbits feet clean and healthy. They’re padded hocks stay healthy and clean, because the urine and manure fall through the cage floor you simply provide a resting board of some sort, either marble plywood or even some fancy colored options, you can find these in our storefront - cages - All Things Bunnies E-Z Floor Resting Mat - Gray www.amazon.com/shop/therabbitrycenter?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_aipsfshop_aipsftherabbitrycenter_08MGM8J1XTEYRC4H724H&language=en_US

Great to see you in the new year and thank goodness you now feel well. Great great as usual. Well explained with vivid visuals for illustration. And your abilities to ennunciate even the tiniest of points which usually comes out salient makes me stuck with your channel. For the first stime on my small farm, i did sychronized breeding of 7 does and they''ll all in their gestation period with 3 of doe gearing to kindle 9-10th of January. Thanks to your imputs i was able to get the doebest of luck to us all in the new year and stay healthy brother.
You sir are a wealth of information. Whenever I come back to watch your vids I am reminded on which giants shoulders I have had to ride on. God Bless you!
Sorry to hear you were not feeling well! I was wondering if you were just taking time off for the holidays. I probably missed it but your Red’s are mini Rex?
Thank you, for a minute there, I didn’t think I was ever going to get better. I’m so glad to be back making videos, and Sharing rabbit Content- Rabbits in the video -4 month old new zealand’s
Great video. I have a completely unrelated question😂 My NZ buck Tuxedo has a crusty area that is kind of outlining the, I don’t know how else to say this, balls😅 it is only outlining a part of it not the whole area. I looked him over and he has no other issues. I see no irritation anywhere else around his male parts but this worried me. He is still eating well, he has always loved food and eats more hay than pellets. I am keeping him hydrated and have been adding ACV into his water bowl and also have been feeding him rosemary fresh from the garden to assist on the inside. It doesn’t look like syphilis to me because it is only crusty and a tiny bit white, but I can’t be talking because this is my first time seeing this. I’ve been putting coconut oil on to soothe it but not directly on the ,sensitive areas. He doesn’t seem to be in pain and he is not lethargic. I’m a little confused. What are your thoughts? Also your videos are AMAZING. So helpful and have helped me start my small business. I love my rabbits and your videos help me give them the best life I possibly can.
try using a Q-tip or damp paper towel to lightly pat and clean the crust away. This could simply be dried sweat, glands, some rabbits, clean themselves better than others. thank you for taking the time to comment. best of luck with your rabbitry business!
@@bearridgefarm So sorry about that, Orygun. I'm up here in the mitten and I've never been. I'll do my best to make the adjustment! Thanks for watching!
My flemish is about 11-12lbs at 8 months and a week. I was thinking of waiting if breeding her at a year old. Would that be more beneficial or not at all? She would be more of a meat rabbit. I have other female Rex's but only 1 flemish doe. She bends over sometimes when i push on her rear so she's willing to recieve, just don't know if I should wait longer.
she’s absolutely ready to breed. i’d recommend breeding if your climate is comfortable and isn’t going to create any complications with frozen kits or processing- Not everyone wants to have more chores in the dead of winter so it’s up to you but I’d just try your best to keep her on a strict diet because rabbits gain weight very easily, and the benefits to breeding them regularly helps keep their weight in check. Thank you for asking and best of luck with your litters.
@@TheRabbitryCenter thank you sir the quick and well written response. Im in the PNW seattle area and It's been above 35-40* lately and this week it'll be dropping to 30-33* and then in 10 days dropping to 2*, coldest it's going to be all year but I don't think that'll last too long. I have some 3 day old kits ill need to be checking up on constantly for the 2*
palomino’s are terrific rabbits I usually purchase my new rabbits at 3-6 months old you can expect rabbits to breed big litters regularly for 2-3 years before slowing down and retiring your doe’s from your program -if your options are limited i’d take what i can get. best of luck with your purchase.
If you were going to run a controlled climate 40 to 55°F would be ideal but rabbits are comfortable down into the negatives. They prefer cold weather versus hot weather due to being covered in fur. They are vulnerable to heat stroke when temps hit 90’s and above. You can search the rabbitry center- hot weather, or the rabbitry center-cold weather for tips Best of luck!
I noticed you had some sticks and leaves dried in your hay barn to feed them is that willow or bamboo? It would be nice for me to harvest some supplemental greens and sticks for my rabbits but I'm afraid to feed them something toxic or just not good for them. God bless you and your family.

thanks for asking, here in Michigan. We have very cold temperatures and the water bottles freeze quickly and stop working and they’d need To be heated. with the bowls, they freeze, but the water is underneath the top layer. They’re still able to access the water for hours and also benefit from chewing on ice which keeps their incisors in check. We simply dip the bowl and water to pop the ice out to avoid cracking the bowl and water change every 12 hours. ruclips.net/video/1IStNHuQAV0/видео.htmlfeature=shared

I am looking at a palomino doe she is 1 1/2 years old is that to old for a breeding doe or do I need to get a younger one

Is there a reason why you use small bowls for water rather than water bottles?

We have very cold temperatures and the water bottles freeze quickly and stop working and they’d need To be heated. with the bowls, they freeze, but the water is underneath the top layer.
