Thank you. I try hard to make sure they are very well looked after, even if they are raised for meat.

Just because you're going to eat them doesn't mean you can't make sure they have happy lives until then.

I couldn't agree with you more Ariane

Hallo,cuanto te entiendo!!Yo,tengo otro conejito,es el tercero que tengo ya...Copito de nieve,es todo ternura,ya tiene 5 years,y también los he extrañado a mis dos conejitos anteriores,pues por eso me coji otro,pues estaba muy triste y se les echa mucho de menos... Ánimo,siempre puedes coger otro,y así,no te dolerá tanto...Un abrazo y kisses 💋💋💜🐇💙

that's a very good idea. I have actually changed things since this, and I only use this cage for my growouts.

Thank you. Eddie

Pls say you didnt eat them...

Thank you

+Psycho Gorilla Was the kitt already dead? She would eat dead ones to protect the nest from predators.

My cat ate 2 of her kittens. they were premature. 1 was alive and 1 dead. learnt later on that it's them.protecting their little one's

they are made for the winter, we will be raising them in Saskatchewan this year. watch for videos. this will be our first time with rabbits

take arsenic or cyanide! That helps!

ngufan ikojo The only thing you could do to do infection is keep the cage clean and make sure the straw bedding isn't mouldy. After that it's down to nature.

Amen

To prevent ants and bad odor cause sometimes the mom leave mess after birth

Rahul Kumar Yup

Humans are OMNIVORES. We need meat to survive

I´m agree with you complete! I´m vegan, and I feel much better. I was in India and I had meet an Master for Yogi and he was an Monk, he was over 95 years old. His mind was so clear and bright, he told me, that he had never eat animals! Animals have an soul and feels the same like humans. And much much more spirit! great comment from you, Rahul!

Thank you for your kind words.

Welcome to Food For Thought. We look forward to your input.

Stay there.

xDj Fluttershy MLP All of my nest boxes were bought. Females are on average 6 months before breeding, males 7 months. Thank you for watching the videos :)

Its no problem also you still doing Rabbits? I would love to see more rabbit Videos from you.

xDj Fluttershy MLP I decided that this year I wouldn't raise rabbits and concentrate of learning other skills. I'll get back to the rabbits next year as I am missing them being around.

alright ^^ i`m glad that you still here

watch Lennon the Bunny instead.

This was my first time at cleaning out the straw, and as a new breeder, I didn't know the kits moved around so much. The kit fell into a bucket of straw and was unhurt.

@@FoodForThought. Im so sorry for the rude and negative comments. I also raise rabbits for meat. We have a botanical garden with petting zoo. Our animals are not caged they have cute adobe houses in safe grass paddocks. They are friendly and part of the family. But we eat the babies when they are a good size. They are loved , cared for, and sacrificed with thanksgiving and respect. Vegans will never understand this, and that is their choice. We also raise Guinea pigs for meat which is traditional in Peru. Thank you for your thoughtful video. We also have chickens and Alpaca which they eat here also, although we havent tried that yet. we need more space for goats for milk , cheese and meat.

@@sharonstuebi8181 Thank you for your very kind comments. I would love to have community at some time but garden size doesn't let me do this.

Do you butcher the mother rabbit for meat after she cant produce anymore babies ?

+asif Khan If they are being kept outdoors then yes, but mine are all now in a shed with heating so I don't use straw except for the nest boxes as the babies will need it for sure.

That's an old wives tail. If you interact with your rabbits on a daily basis then they will not think of you as a predator. But I've seen people save wild kitten in gardens, and mom comes back.

Try and get a box so the babies can't crawl out of the nest as they will get cold and possibly die. They will stay in the straw for a few hours but might go looking for mom, and food.

I breed the females 4-5 times a year and for sure have a few rabbits for your survival team.

Ariane Bolt Can I and my incredible charm, dashing witt, and unfailing sarcasm join?

bunny moms only feed there babies once , maybe twice a day for a few minutes.. after which they like to go a distance away from the babies so as to protect them from predators...because the babies won't have a scent for several months, so if the mother leaves the babies alone they are safer than if she stays close to them as then the predator will smell her and find both her and the babies.

Thank you

Dinner-fork tongue I interact with them every day so she knows I'm not a threat. I also give her fresh greens, and she's more interested in those lol.

Cheers for that then! :P

Susanne Winslow 3oz of food per day per adult rabbit. You would also give hay or fresh grass/weeds too

Em_star _vlogs At what point did she do that?

Straw is natural and a great bedding. Never known anyone to use cotton

I have to ask, where are you located and what is the weather like with you?

+Food For Thought I live in Kansas but the weather is weird sometimes it's hot and sometimes is cold

+Ted Boxer The thing you have to plan for most of the time is hear, they really can't deal with heat. I put frozen bottles in the cages when it gets really hot. They also hate drafts so work on that too.

You might think about using a colony setup if you have enough space. There are a couple of different channels that cover colony farming.

IamTenzin I don't have enough space for a colony unfortunately.

Austin Floyd 10-12 weeks

Backyard DIYforever They are New Zealand Whites

I realize i'm four years late but in specific the white + red eyes are albino rabbits, because they have no pigment. I have an albino.

😂😂

Thank you

Why wouldn’t we have no right to tell our opinion if it is negative?? Will you stop us? I don’t think so. Fuckin idiot

Their killing and eating innocent rabbits

what are you believe? modern society? You don´t know nothing about an modern society! In an enlighted world, you should better learn, that animals have an soul, so much empathy and much more! To eat meat as an part of an modern society, what you belive is absolutely shit and nonsense! The better humans eat no meat! and have not so much health problems later like heart diseases and other. Thats the following punishment of humans greed.

Then he brutally slaughters them you imbecile. Gfy

Sorry not to get back to you, but yes, as long as the for is used to you touching her first.

shifa hasan She can be bred about 5 months old but I prefer then to be 6-7 months old. After breeding they will give birth 30-31 days later.

Demetrio Alvarado There is a video on the whole processing procedure.

U have no HEART MAN... EAT A COW OR OR PIG OR SOMETHING ELSE MAN.!!! And leave BUNNY'S OUT OF UR DIET U MEAN PERSON.👿

@@jenovevabarnes1817 why would it be worse to eat rabbits?

eat yourself!

saujan karki I have never had a problem with cleaning out the nest. You'll only ever catch the doe in the nest twice a day to feed. Apart from that she'll ignore it.

no, she's not ignoring it...she leaves the babies after feeding to protect them as they have no scent and cannot be found by predators whereas she does have a scent and the predator will find both her and the babies if she stays near them!!! Rabbit mothers are good mothers...they aren't ignoring their babies.........

All I can say is that I interact with the rabbits every day, touching them, brushing, and scratching behind their ears. All things you would do with any domestic pet. If you show them that you are not a threat to them, then they will not act out negatively. Not once in my years of breeding have any of my does eaten their kittens.

I agree with you!!

Eat a pig 🐷. How could u look at. Rabbit.🐰. Then eat it..oooooh i know it's. Because ur Brain Dead man.!!!!!!!!

I have 2 flemish /Californian. Females im breeding for meat but its not goot to do all flemish because they have a lower meat to bone ratio my buck is a full blood flemish so ill get bigger meat rabbits im hoping their not all bone since the doe's are just slightly bigger then the californians regular size...

You are sick and not in a cool way you disgust me

+Tyler Horse Whisper Yes, they are farmed to be eaten eventually.

I moved to 4'x2' cages, but kept the wire floor. With large breeds wire floors are fine as the 1/2" holes allow pee and poop to drop through but do not affect the feet. The only problem I ever had with sore hocks was on a solid floor that the urine could not escape, but thank you for your opinion.

Use cotton? As bedding?

You're welcome. Keep safe.

@@FoodForThought. Thank you, you too)

Morgan Hackworth love the comment a little reality really is what this world needs everyone's gotten too damn soft

Morgan Hackworth l don't eat meat myself but l agree still, most of the people being butthurt in the comments are probably hypocrites, the way the rabbits are being kept seems far more humane than the way they raise and keep chickens/cows

It's easy, they will have a violent fall off. Their legs will sorting forward and they will fall to their side. It's unmistakable lol

Shoeb Fasih Old wives tail. If you have daily contact with your rabbits, they won't find you a threat and therefore not a threat to her kittens.

no

If the mother trusts you she will let you handle the babies and be ok with it. some mothers are less trusting, and some get very upset. Know your bunny and "listen" to her signs
