Wordless hopping. We raised rabbits once but then found it easier to just let my husband hunt deer because one or a few can last all year. Lots of homesteading we're I'm from that go back to the back to the land movement and still goes on today.
Pretty rabbit :)

Very sweet looking!
very cool.
WOW! 31 days ?Now I know why the expression "breds like rabbits"Good luck ,wishing you a large litter or whatever the work is for a multiple birth.
So cute! Kudos to you for raising your meat! That is one step to local living that I'm not sure I could take, you are brave!
She is lovely! I am interested in raising rabbits for meat, and I am wondering what you feed your rabbits. Is there such a thing as "pastured" rabbits, and would feeding them fresh greens be the equivalent to a "pastured" animal?
Thanks!
Laurel, from what I know, it's ok to set them out a bit to eat the grasses etc, but they have a sensitive digestive system so it's best to feed them the pellets and alfalfa hay and bring in a few greens as treats.
Also, currently all the pelleted brands contain soy. There's a few local people working on creating soy free rabbit feed.
