Thanks for sharing your experiences between winter and summer. Makes me feel better about this winter and more cautious about summer

Thanks for the advice about taking the doe to the buck...very helpful

Good vid. Just had 7 new ones yesterday. Easy lovin' time of year for the bunnies 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Man wicked videos I've been watching u for a few years now. I learned everything I know about rabbits and coturnix quail from you 👍 best thing I ever done thank you Chris 🥰

Great video thanks Chris. Happy to see you carrying!

Hey chric, good to see you doing fine...Need more frequent videos

Thank you!!

Hey Chris, I just found your channel today. Binge watched about 10 videos on rabbits. This one you mentioned taking down your waterlines & using bowls. My rabbits have a tendency to tump the bowls over so, I went with the tube & nipples. To prevent the algae & freezing l use a small pump to circulate the water. You can use electric hookup or go solar charger. (Battery & panel in 1 unit w/USB ports for power) but, you probably don't get enough sunlight where you are. My name is Rahn & l live in N. TexXxas! I've been raising rabbits about 4 years now. I have Californians, Rex, mini-rex & Netherland dwarfs. I want to get some new Zealanders after watching your videos & I might get some silver foxes too!

We had a hard time recently getting our does to lift! I finally got one to lift yesterday but there are still a few stubborn ones!

This is true.. I just put boxes in my two does cages they are due in a day for one and two days for the other. One girl grabbed the straw out of my hand. I ment to get them done this morning but I didn't. I am glad I went out tonight

I built a shed and started raising rabbits this past spring. I have a buck and two does that I tried to get mated today. It was the first time for all four of us. The buck kept getting up on the doe and doing the "jackhammer" for 2 or 3 seconds each time but not once did he do the "fall off" part. I tried each doe twice and between them he did about 40 rounds of nailing the doe but not falling off. I suppose I'll try them again tomorrow. I guess he'll figure it out eventually.

I was wondering if you could make a video on what age you should replace your breeding rabbits?

Thank you, I was afraid of them freezing to death.. I have a Flemish giant doe that I can't wait to breed. I'm on the hunt for a buck by new years!

Thanks

Sounds alot like my marriage

Just bred my two NZ White does this past weekend both of them first timers so we will see how it goes.

Two thoughts, your thoughts on breeding a virgin doe? Secondly, I use heated dog bowls year round. No, I don't heat the water in the summer, lol. Love the video, I learned a few things.

Yay

I have California rabbits. In the past I have never had an issue with the doe taking care of the kits. Today December 21, 2021 and back five days I had all five of my does that I had bread in succession to the buck start kindling. All were first time mamas. All of them had their babies and all of the babies died because the mamas were not taking care of them. I think I read somewhere that I could breed those those back to the Buck right away. Do you have any suggestions on what to do to get The dose to take care of the kits once they’re born.

My buck got so excited he was trying every position he could. Lol. He played around the world in 7 days. But eventually he found the right spot. Lol. After 3 falloffs he was hugging her and licking her ears. Lol. Such a romantic. He grabbed ahold of her in a hug when we opened the cage to take her out. He was acting like " NO she's mine go find your own" he actually pouted when we removed her. Lmao. Poor dude

Can you make a play list with all the bunny videos? Great video!

I have 3 does that are about 10 months old and a buck that is about 1 year. I have been trying to breed them for about 2 month's and have only had one fall off. The buck chases the doe around the cage and if they do stop they seem to not want lift their rear ends. I have tried apple cider vinegar, lights to extend daylight, and the black oil seeds. They are Californians and New Zealand's. Any advice?

Hey our buck might have bred with our does a few days ago. Is it bad if they were 3 months old? We didn’t have a cage for the male yet so what should we do we are pretty sure they are pregnant but we don’t know for sure. Is there anything we should do? We have already separated them and when should we put a doe in our bucks cage to breed

I am having a hell of a time getting any of mine to breed. I've tried several times this fall and so far winter, and no one is interested! I dint know what I'm doing wrong! The males I'm using are usually ready to go and excited to breed! The previous years I have done it in the spring with success

How long does it take when you can feel your rabbit babies in side of her ive heard that it take 4 days when you feel them but I'm not for sure would like some help on advance on that

I'll have my first litter any day now

It would be very helpful if you told us what zone or state you are in so we could gauge if this information applies to us in the far northern states

Here in Southern New England we mirror your weather but are colder most days. For instance I cannot use tubes watering as the lines may freeze at times. So would you still recommend winter breeding? I was intending breeding in late February or early March, what are you thoughts? The storm in this video is coming in here today and tomorrow as a typical New England Nor'easter.

Great video but the shirt is awesome!

Hey Chris! I hope you and yours are on fine fettle! Brilliant vids. Could I trouble you for a little advice. My Rex rabbit, (I have 2 other Dutch) - who I didn't think was old enough to have kits, and as far as I was aware, had no opportunity to breed, - has just given birth to a litter this morning. I do let them roam around, (separately), in my back yard, because I thought my segregation was good: wrong! I've got to build a nest box today; she won't use the other does box as I've heard it'll stink of another mother. I'll leave them alone for a couple of days, but I've heard I'll have to get them into a cage, for their own good. There's no way of stopping them getting out of Rex's plastic two foot domed, insulated shelter. We don't have many predators here; the main ones being cats and rats, and if I'm truthful a rat would have the Public Health, here and around, immediately. I suppose crows and seagulls could be a problem once they're in the run. I'm in a fairly built up residential area, but my yard is spacious and sealed I don't know how she'll react going from a run into a cage, so I fear they might not survive I'm in North East of England, and though we only occasionally go below minus centigrade; it is damp cold. The sea is only four miles away. If it goes below -2 the whole country stops. Joking aside, damp cold gets in your clothes, and down to your bones, Eughhh! This was totally unplanned. I'd really appreciate any tips on the transfer to the cage please, or do I need to bother at all? I could just block the entrance with a 6" plate/piece of wood, so they can't climb over, obviously the mother will just step over it. I've opened up her run today, so she can access the full yard, and she's going mental; running all over the place. Easy'!

I just had a doe give birth to 10 kits and they were all dead when I checked on her. It is her first litter. Should I wait to rebreed her or is it ok to try again? Is this normal? She did make a nest and pulled some hair but it's 35 degrees here and they were all cold/dead. Any suggestions?

Can u breed a male to two females in one day?? i had a warm day the 9th my buck bred my one year old twice after he bred the 10 month three times havent been able to get the 1 year old to bred ive been putting her with the buck since she was 9 months and the does were both lifting for him before he even got started so i figure id put him with both since they were so willing

What tools do I need to build a quail hutch like yours

hey buddy. can you raise different type of quail together in a more natural aviary setting. i have one that is about 6 feet by 5.5 ft and 6 feet tall. could your type of quail be raised with a Californian and/or button quail? if so how many different type of quail can coexistent. not looking for quantity more so looking to have a variety.

So what about breeding pairs do u keep them separate till breeding

Hey Chris I've been watching your videos and one in particular got me thinking. You feed your rabbits once a day ? I started raising about 6 months ago and have always fed them a half a cup twice a day with all the hay they want. Could I switch to a cup once a day ? It sure would make it easier. Now my wife feeds them in the evening because most evenings I don't get home until after 6. One more question , I live in northern wisconsin , below freezing doesn't bother me , it's the below zero temps that I wonder if it's safe to breed. I have them in a tarp shed ( shed in a box ) . I have been leaving one end open for ventilation. We give fresh water 3 to 4 times a day when frozen. I just had a litter of NZ and they are doing fine. But by Xmas Eve we are looking at high temps in the single digits. Should I do anything for the kits to help them stay warm and alive ? Keep up the great vids.

I been raising rabbits for 60+ years I breed year around

Can you tell us what and how much you feed your breeders?

Hey Chris I got a question I already had 2 litters and they all didn't make in the winter I noticed they all had diarrhea hopefully you can help me out on how to keep them healthy on there first week and what causes diarrhea

What does it mean when a quail egg is clear and dark

hy, i lost my litters 3 days ago. Can I rebreed my rabbit now?thank you

Plz show how your rabbit hutch is build I want to build your design rabbit cages

What happens if they don’t have fall offs

Do you ever have problems with your rabbits dumping the water bowls?

what breed of rabbit would you recommend to a novice wanting rabbits for meat?

Where are you located?

How many rabbits do you have?

What breed are you rabbits? My very first memory or a rabbit what that it was white and had red eyes. When I was a kid, I thought that was kind of creepy. As an adult, they are so gorgeous. It is fascinating that you can pretty much just put them together to get three mounts in 15-20 minutes, know she's been bred, and then put her back in her own cage. I only know about hatching chicken eggs and that's not even close to the same since we have no clue which eggs are fertilized. Someone should come up with a thing or something. LOLOL!!!! Also, is raising a couple of rabbits specifically for their poop for fertilizing in my garden economical? I'd actually thought about raising enough that I could sell to local gardeners but I definitely need to do more research on it.

Pls

y does he have a gun???!!

So your telling me these rabbits are confiend to these tiny cramped cages 24/7 of there whole lives, continuously bred, the female doesn't even want to be bred, forcing the rabbit to be rapped continuously her whole life. Never let out to run around. No litter tray, bedding and no where enough hay. This is heartbreaking to see these rabbits suffer in these conditions
