@leahshomestead: Apparently I’m doing EVERYTHING wrong with my rabbits. 😳🐇 First, I was told the nesting box should go in as soon as the doe is bred. I don’t do that. I put mine in around day 28 because putting it in weeks early can turn that nice clean nesting box into a bathroom. 💩😂 Then there’s the DOG FUR. 👀 People said a rabbit won’t use dog fur because of the smell… except mine absolutely DO. I’ve used clean, saved dog fur as extra nesting material before, and my does have used it right along with their own pulled fur. Now the real question is… will THIS first-time mama actually know what to do with it? 😳 Because we still don’t know if she’s going to be an awesome mom… or an absolute disaster. 😂 #MeatRabbits #RabbitRaising #Homesteading

I may sound stupid but what are meat rabbits? I don’t think I wanna know . I’m hoping it’s not what I think it is.

Wire floor is, luckily, illegal in my country. Poor rabbit. (We had meatrabbits before)

If they don't like it, they take it out. Pretty sure my rabbit stole 'fur' from me. She was grabbing EVERYTHING. She wasn't a planned breeding though cause we were told we bought 2 boys...

My question about the wire floor - do the cages above have wire floors, too? Because the rabbit beneath must get showered. Or are they just not used?

When you say it took five times to get her bread, do you mean five attempts and she just wasn’t interested or five times the mail fell off and it turns out she wasn’t pregnant.

we bread our 6 does last month. only had 2 good fall offs with 2 does. figured that was good for our needs. put boxes in with the 2 does at 28 days. came out on day 31 to find babies delivered on cage floor with 3 of the other does. had to scramble and get the other boxes filled and put it in with the moms. blessedly we only lost one of the 28 babies. all are doing well and we learned a lesson, if you attempted a breeding they get a nestbox at day 28, period.

Everyone critiquing your videos are basically the ones who live in the cities or living that city life and never raised animals before. You’re doing a great job ma’am.

I love your videos. We raised rabbits for years. I had never heard of dog fur. But, seriously, what a great idea! We had a Great Pyrenees…would have been perfect!

I’ve been curious about that too, I’m a dog groomer, and have access to hair, but have only used clean hair so far.

I had 2 does pulling fur after a week. I put their nesting box in, because i thought they were having false pregnancies. they were both pulling fur. I just put the box in the corner they didn't use as a bathroom. they kept the boxes clean and had real pregnancies. it was like they wanted to prepare.

I love using wool! I feel it helps them pull less fur - I’ve got one rabbit that I feel like she plucks her entire body! 🤣🤣🤣
