How To Raise Rabbits for Meat: Part 3 Caring for Baby Bunnies

Preparing to move from city to farm..so honest and helpful

Is there a certain kind of hay/straw that i should use?

Where can I get white New Zealand rabbits in Texas

Thank you so much very informative

I’m also a rabbit farmer and on my channel I teach people how to start rabbitry ❤❤

My grandpa makes the Tastiest , Juiciest rabbit stew

I would like to know about if a bunny comes down with an infection, are there antibiotics kill the germs and help them get healthy again?

Hi Sarah! What do you do with kits that are no longer alive? Any reason not to bury them in the garden to feed the soil?

I hate this

I was under the impression that the mom will abandon or eat her babies if they’re touched.. but you say to do it every day after the first 24 hours?

Thanks for the video

My name is Lester I watched alot of your video im in Farmington missouri I'm looking for new zillion or California rabbits for meat really don't want bunny's little closer for breeding do you have any for sale

Hi, I would love to start rabbit farming on a large scale but I need F1breeds in new Zealand white and California white .how can I get them ? Am in Africa Uganda

God did not intend for us to raise animals in small cages. repent of this cruelty. if this animal must be subject to this life , then all rabbits should be let free. most humans would prefer exinction over living in a small cage. This is EVIL and sick to justify and defend keeping animals in small cages even if it meant protection of any sort...AS a means of excuse just to keep them for meat.

So very interesting BUT I don’t think I could kill them. I’m so spoiled! Meat comes covered in plastic wrap from the grocery store 😂

One of our rabbits had her first litter 3 weeks ago, but she killed them all. I took the nesting box out, but 5 days later she had another litter! Those all died, too 😢

My 3 New Zealand doe's gave birth in 10°F and did very well. 21 bunnies and only 2 died. They are 7 weeks old and will be harvested in 3 weeks. We are keeping a doe and a buck to breed. Thanks for the help!

I snorted when one of the kits almost jumped out of your hands

5yrs later and you are inspiring to start

Great video

You shouldn’t have those babies out that long…….

You have a lot of animal noise in the background . I hope you realize that more then 5% meat in the diet is a major contributor to cancer . Great China study t collin Campbell Harvard.

You don’t hate playing with them then eating them? Especially the goats :/

I certainly appreciate how you explained
Everything on how to deal with Doe’s
Kindling and how to deal with the
Problems that might arise .
Btw have 2 doe’s due on 19th
So I’m also glad I waited for
Cooler weather .
Thank you 🙏🏼

I just got the BEST ad AND one of the best videos. This day couldn’t get any better 😊❤

Just got my 1st Buck and Doe. Your videos have been the best I've found so far. I LOVE watching everything you do on your Homestead. You're living my dream and I'm learning so much for when I get to Finally have my own Homestead.

After loosing 2 litter from same Doe should we replace her with another Doe

Great info, thanks!

What about feed during pregnancy and after? Same as before are something different??

Next time you may want to add the Cecum from momma for their digestive health.

I subscribed second video only because I was so inadmired in the first one it ended and immediately I went to next one! You are obviously really good at informing others! Thank you! I have also seen many videos and I agree, you are really good!

Do you have to separate multiple moms

Weird question but Ive never heard anyone actually say anything about it..... when a baby dies, how do you dispose of it? Bury it? Trash it? Compost it? Same question with a doe that isn’t used for breeding anymore. Do you eat it? Cull it? What do you do with it? Sorry newb here and have all the weird questions.

Why are white ones better?

No killing BUNNiES

Hello Yvonne from Texas I was watching the rabbit series and I thought okay I'll started and watch each video daily but I got so addicted, lol 😍 I just love it I'm already on part 3 Thank you so much your Family has been such a Blessing for mine.💖🌺🦋🐇

How long after they lose a litter can the be rebread again???

Hi
Great video, just found your site, looking and learning on all you videos.
Thank you so much

I'm getting back into rabbits after a very long hiatus and have watched your vidoes as a refresher course. Very well done!

My father never let me touch the baby bunnies when I was growing up. He said if the momma smelled human on her babies, she'd eat them. And we did have lots of screaming and kicking and fighting at butcher time. It sounds like that is not true or maybe a wives tale???

Do the mama rabbits get protective well they’ll bite you or scratch you

Hi Sarah! This is a old video, I already watched and truly enjoyed the new series about raising meat rabbits. Binge watching it all as we want to start of with raising meat rabbits here in Germany. We are fearing the butchering part but we cannot stand how the industry fuctions. So there we are, trying to feed our 5 little ones. Lots of love and God bless you!

I am ssooo glad that I found your channel! I, my husband and mother have moved onto 6acs. of the Ozarks. We are 65, 75 and 83 yrs old respectively. We were sick of the rat race that is city/town living.

We are completely off grid, just got our solar system delivered, and are putting our water catchment system in today.

We are doing this on our Social Security and the little we made from the sale of our house.

We want laying chickens, a garden and one or two sources of animal protein. We are thinking of rotating turkeys and meat chickens, along with meat rabbits. We are also considering goats for milk and cheese.

Question, if you would be able to respond. Would the rabbits be a higher quality protein than the meat birds? Second question, how does one get over the "cute factor" in order to process the rabbits?

Again, thank you so much for your channel, Lord bless you.

Love it from bucks pa

Do you have wire in bottom of nesting box or cardboard or ?? - under the hay/hair? Thanks!

Our newest rabbit babies are 5 weeks old today. We learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you for all the really good content you share.

When the doe jumps back into the nesting box it looks pretty brutal. She's pretty robust, and it doesn't appear she thinks about crushing them. But, they survive.

Sorry my comment is so long. I just didn't know where to get an answer as quick as possible.
