You inspired me to start raising meat rabbits. You New Zealand rabbit video is what I considered. And now I have a breeding trio of new Zelands 😊
@Funnystuff142 that's very cool! Thank you for the feedback! Best of luck to you! Have you had any kits yet?
@@BrokenArrowFarm307 no I plan to breed one of the new Zeland does this week and also breed one of my Rex doe so then I will have 2 breeds to see who will grow faster and who will have more meat. Also you inspired me to start a RUclips channel. I will be starting a homesteading channel and will have lots of videos about rabbits.
@Rabbitry101 very cool! That's awesome ! Good luck on your rabbit raising endeavors and your RUclips channel!
@@BrokenArrowFarm307 thank you so much.
My son was an ARBA champion rabbit raiser and showman. He raised almost all of the breeds accepted under the ARBA standard. We bought feed from a specialty feed company out of Idaho. We bought 10-15 toms on a regular basis. 18 wheeler just backed into the yard and unloaded on a garage that was built for protecting rabbits from psycho neighbors.
All rabbits that failed to be showable were processed for meat and sold to private individuals as well as retail grocery stores.
Very cool
Psycho neighbors? Lol whatttt... ?! 😂
@@KatieLeann Yeah while I was out of town neighbors and others killed several prize rabbits. I built a garage and made sure it wouldn't happen again. My son took a hit but came back stronger winning against youth and adult competitors. He became a registrar and would have been a great judge but basketball and college took him away His sibling showed a few times but never grasped the same love for the animals.

Thank you for the video. Next could you talk about the age or weight you butcher rabbits. Also like weaning them from mom?
Thank you for the comment I'm hoping I did answer your question thus far. If not let me know
It seems i might have been hurting my rabbits picking them up by the back. Great tip on picking them up by the belly
You are welcome, I'm glad you learned something new! Happy rabbit raising to you!
I know you're getting a lot of negative comments on the housing of your rabbits, but it's better than others I've seen. I personally give mine more space but I'm not doing it for money, just for personal use. And you're dealing with obstacles others aren't, they should keep that in mind. I appreciate the how to, gave me some great ideas.
Thank you for the positive note! much appreciated!
Looking forward to more videos on this subject. Thank you for sharing!

Great video! Glad I'm stumbling on other new RUclips channels that are doing similar things as we are! Good luck on your channel looking forward to more of your videos!
Thank you!
Thank you, VERY helpful advice! I’ve got my trio of New Zealand with a 3 week old litter. Good mama, 9 healthy kits. 👍🏻🐇🐇
Glad you found it informative! Thanks for watching!
I feed my rex rabbits mostly Kale and lettuce with apples as treats the will eat pellets but only as a last resort.
Watch out for diarrhea when feeding wet foods. While they like this fresh feeds too much can be harmful.
Get a good pellet to feed daily
That's awesome
What is it you do with the hides? Can those be used to make blanket's or is the not normal?
Yes they can be tanned and made into a blanket for sure.
Hi..I ate our first rabbit ..he was 4 months old...the meat had a great taste..but it was not as tender as a would like it ..Last year we ate a 4 month rabbit from the farm where we bought our rabbits and it was tender...so I wonder what does it make rabbit meat more tender...? Can you make a video about that...my rabbits eat pellets but also grass and leaves...greetings from Costa rica...my rabbits are a mixture between New Zeland and Californians
Hello! and thank you for watching! Yes a good idea for a video thank you!
I like raise only New Zealand i got 2 blue eyes working to bred more blue eyes
Very cool
I'm looking to get some blue eyed new Zealands. What state are you in?
@@cturinetti I'm in Ohio
@@azc9893 That's further away than I was hoping to travel for them. Still it's closer than the last place I found some.
very cool, we re located in WY.
What brand of feed do you use and why do you like it?
The feed we use is Hubbard brand 18 percent protein. We like it cause our rabbits have did well on it, and we can get it.
Looks nice, i would like to send you some pictures maybe you get some ideas for better rabbetry 😁
Ok sounds good.
I’ve had pet rabbits and if you treat them gently rather than like a sack of potatoes they will be tame. I understand that you’re going to kill them for meat but surely you can be kind and gentle and give them bedding so they’re comfortable and live the best life possible 😕
It's unsanitary to supply bedding. It's more important that the animal is raised to harvestable weight with out any exposure to its own feces and urine or any pathogens associated. The most important thing at the end of the day is a healthy meat product to feed ourselves and our family. The animal is not in any distress.
@@honestlynate7922 If you’re going to raise animals for food give them the best life. They don’t poop and pee on their own bedding!! 🫤
Best life! Best death!
@@jillyd2807 I have raised rabbits and I have found that they absolutely will poop and pee wherever they have to wherever they are.
It is about giving them their best life. They don't know what they're missing with they've never had it
@@honestlynate7922 Disagree!! 😐
@@jillyd2807 I'll tell you what, my next set of rabbits will have bedding and I'm going to give you the chance to prove me wrong. If I don't have any issues I use bedding from now on.
Are you in oklahoma
Wyoming
@Broken Arrow Farm ok we got a town broken arrow oklahoma
Hey there Mr Rabbit man I am New to your channel and have had 4 rabbits all together thus far only bred our rabbits one time it was a live and learn period as i hadnt found yr channel yet. Our rabbits were kept outside they were seperated bred once and it rained for like a week solid the babies drowned so now i have our rabbits in cages suspened above in our chicken run. Thank You for sharing this information I have liked commenting and subscribed i do hope to see your like comment and subscribe over on our channel Thanks a bunch have a good one.
Thank you for checking our my channel and for the sub! I will have to check out your channel as well! Sorry to hear about your rabbits.
@@BrokenArrowFarm307 o trust me i know what its like to be a small channel unless we help each other the big dogs are off and gone! Like Matt with Demolition Ranch I watched his videos since his channel had like under 200 subs and now hes 11.2 million something! anyway its no big deal about the baby rabbits the grass grows very well there now so live and learn but I am glad I found yr channel! stay connected friend!🙂👍👍✌🙏🙏
That looks awful. Barren wire cages with zero enrichment and no opportunity to dig or engage in natural behaviour.
Breeds are about 100-350 year s old. That's how long they've been caged. They are not missing anything.
Very good point Betsy.
One of the best how to channels on RUclips?
Thank you!
