Part 1: How to breed rabbits + telling the difference between bucks & does
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 січ 2021
- I breed Silver Fox and Creme d’Argent rabbits for meat, breeding stock, and show. Rabbits are amazing little animals that have the ability to provide meat for even the smallest homestead, and I love helping people get started with them! Often times I’m asked questions about breeding, kindling, and raising rabbit kits (as well as choosing the best candidates from show or breeding stock). This is Part One of my 3-part series all about rabbit breeding & raising.

I appreciate your love for your rabbits, never be afraid to teach those that are just getting started with rabbits.There is a lot to learn about proper care for rabbits.Nothing beats being taught by someone that obviously loves their rabbits.Thank you for your videos and please don't hesitate to continue to be yourself!
Thank you so much! :)
BRO THIS IS WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY SHE DOES A GREAT JOB TEACHING AND IS VERY COMPASSIONATE NOBODY SHOULD BE OFFENDED BY THE WAY SHE TEACHES
This was nice and educational. The "fall off" was so dramatic I wasn't expecting that lol. Too funny. Love your vids!
30 seconds for breeding, 30 days for kindling!😂
Surely UA-cam will recognize this is animal husbandry, not human husbandry, and not penalize you for posting a very informative and helpful video.
Yep! Rabbits are quick! Haha. I hope UA-cam will allow it as well 😊 thank you!
i know this was about the bunnies but i could not stop staring at doggos wonderin what they were staring at in the background. lol
Poop!! Always poop 😂 I cannot control them 💩
Thank you so very much for NOT bleeping it out. Very interested in adding rabbits to our homestead and it will be a brand new experience. Looking forward to learning more from you.
Oh my gosh, cracking UP at the “fall off” 😆🤣
This video has been so helpful for sexing rabbits! I’ve been trying to figure it out but no one has really given any good visuals (sorry for the rabbits lol) so this has been awesome!
I’m so glad you’ve found that part helpful! There’s not many good and clear videos that get up close and personal n that area, lol. I stuck those photos on the blog post as well 😊
Yes super freaking helpful!!! Thank you!
I love that the dogs are just chilling and that the rabbits don't seem to be bothered by the dogs either. Great video too, thanks!
😂 now I know I’m looking for donuts and tacos. Thank you so much for an informative video on much needed information.
thank you so much for teaching me how to know a male and female rabbit bcos i bought a male rabbit thinking it was a female, but after watching this video i checked my rabbit ,and found out it was a male.thanks to you.i'm so proud of you.love you.
I love the detail and quality of your videos!! As someone new to rabbits, your videos are clear and informative! Thanks for including the reasons for doing things.
Hello Rhettamy how's the weather over there
LMAO the editing and music at 12:11 was hilarious. Spit out my drink.
You are amazing for the content you show and thankful for finding your channel.
Very helpful vid. I JUST got into rabbits. I got 2 bucks and 2 does right now. They are only 4 months old. So they got some growing to do lol. But I been doing some research and saw this video. Very very helpful. Thanks!
This video was so helpful. Now I know that the 'buck' that I got six months back is actually a doe!
Oh no 🤦♀️😂
They’re so adorable lol how he falls off
I love the way you built your cage holding system... I'm building a rabbit barn this month along with new cages💖 I really want to get a good trio out of this breeding. I can't wait to see them😍
Hello Lizzie how's the weather over there
Watching you is so fulfilling in that you are direct with your message, you don't repeat yourself, the background music, you have so much valuable experience, simply put I enjoy learning through your videos. Thank you for making this.
I appreciate you sharing this so much! Both breeds are just gorgeous!
This was so helpful! I’ve watched a bunch of videos as we are just getting started with rabbits and this has been one of the best and most informative. Thank you!
Thank you so much I learned a lot. Now I have to get my husband to get a rabbit. He used to raise rabbits for food.
Hello Elizabeth how's the weather over there
This was such a helpful video with so many questions I had answer. Please keep them coming. Your channel is exactly what I've been looking for as I am trying to start breeding my two mini lops. Thank you for not being vague. 😊👍🐇
I love your videos. Each one has been so informative and with purpose. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks so much for being willing to share all this no matter what! You can tell you genuinely care for your animals. And I know it’s tough to think about eating the bunnies. But that’s part of life. Ya know? Thanks for all you do! I’ll keep watching!
I really loved your presentation and how studied you are about conformation. I am very impressed my dear.!
Silver fox rabbits are so pretty! Really appreciate your informative videos!
Excellent Answered a lot of my question. What a great breeder.
Genuine content straight from the heart..Very informative.Thank you keep going
Thank you so much for this video! I was not expecting my bunnies (Kami & Kye) to do as well as they did! Mostly because Kye is blind, but he found Kami just fine! Thank you for the video!
Me and my wife are neither rabbits. We've watched lots of videos and have been trying to figure out how to tell the difference between the boys and the girls are the bucks and the dose. This is the first video that actually helped explain it to where we can now definitely figure out which one is. Which last time we tried to figure it out? We ended up with a pregnant rabbitwhen we didn't want one and so now thanks to this video and thanks to your help. We can keep from having that problem again and hopefully we continue.
Learning and moving forward with our new endeavor of raising rabbits
Thank you so much! We are very new at owning rabbits and have made mistakes. Your wildness to forgo $$ to teach us is so honorable and sweet!
I subscribed and liked 🎉 bless you
Amber from The Homestead Diary
I like your openness with rabbits.
I live in Biloxi MS and I have 10 breeders (NZ and Tamuk) and have been homesteading for a few years now. I have never tried table breeding. I am going to try this, thank you for the suggestions. I learned a lot today. Appreciate your efforts.
Great video. Very helpful info as always! Thank you for all you share.
Really enjoy learning from each of your videos! Love your channel and your beautiful rabbits!
Hello Jennifer how's the weather over there
Excellent video! You explained everything very well while going through the breeding process! Loved the music during the second set of rabbits breeding! 🎶 ❤️ I’m glad you showed the genders for those of learning, we can’t learn if it is blurred out. Also while you were showing the genders I couldn’t help thinking how sweet the bunny feet are on the bottom. They got cute feet!! I’m looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! I hope it’s not too much for some people but I think it’s a necessary video. It will be the only one of its kind about rabbits on my channel! 😊
Thank you for showing me the difference between bucks and does. I could not figure it out with my rabbits! Your amazing and I love your videos ❤
I’m a new follower and I really appreciate how in depth this video is. Thank you for explaining and showing it so well. We are just starting out with rabbits and are binge watching all your videos 😊
Hello Rebecca how's the weather over there
Thank you for making this very informative and unapologetic video and most importantly, being wiling to teach total strangers with such passion. We are considering starting rabbitry and this was very very helpful information. Also, you have very beautiful eyes!
Thank you so much! We are newly breeding and so helpful!!!
Im new into rabbits.just started with six of them....but i love the way you pair them together...also love the way u explain...cheers from Goa,India.
Truly enjoyed watching your video. Informative and well done. One of the best I have seen out of many I have watched. Wish I had found you first. Your handling of the rabbits encouraged me to engage more with my own. As I am just getting started (2 weeks in) and have a 9 mo old Satin doe who charges and bites. She has gotten much, much better but forces me to be slightly fearful and constantly on guard with her. We are both having to learn to trust one another which is developing slowly. I haven't attempted to hold any of my 6 other rabbits due to the experiences I have had with her. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you as this was very helpful to us who are new to the rabbit world.
Found this video really helpful! Just got a buck and a doe yesterday. Looking forward to this journey. Thank you
Thank you soooo much from someone who is recently retired and will be starting to raise 2 does and 2 bucks who are all Silverfox rabbits. So excited!!!
Thank you for this! I’m new to breeding rabbits and really appreciate this information.
I am new to your channel as well as rabbits. We added 4 does and a buck to our homestead of pigs, goats, chickens, ducks geese and quail this spring and have finally reach appropriate age/weight to begin breeding.
As a source of meat, we decide to go with Californians and New Zealands. Our only buck is a healthy 8 mo old Californian. I also have a 1yr old Californian doe and 3 New Zealand does ranging from 8mo to 1yr. I gained so much knowledge from this video and am so excited to watch and learn more from you!! Thank you for breeding responsibly and for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us to ensure we become responsible breeders as well!
Very well done - I’ve always heard it’s difficult to be sure which is which so nice tutorial.
Hello Mary how's the weather over there
Super helpful video! Thank you for sharing! We’re starting a hutch and excited to learn!
Thank you for your honesty and educational video. Super helpful.
Wow. I have learnt a lot and am super inspired.
I was told over and over that once they hit their senior weight, then they're set to go. I've been waiting weeks for my younger rabbits to meet their senior weight, but we finally made it! Rex seem to grow slowly. Tomorrow I'm breeding a proven buck and virgin doe, and of another breed, a virgin buck and proven doe. Good luck to my virgin buck! Pressure's on!
Good luck! 😊
Great channel!! I'm new to your rabbitry channel, not new to rabbits, but as you say, never done learning! I'm inspired to try table top breeding with my Rex. Thanks for sharing your knowledge🙂
I like your idea of Table Breeding and your reasons for it. Good information! Thanks from Northeast Oklahoma 👍🏼
Hello Faith how's the weather over there
Glad to hear about your Channel
Just bought a few rabbits, spur of the moment, and I'm really interested in your setup there. We live up north a bit and it gets pretty cold. This was the most informative video yet, so I'm going to creep the rest and see if I can get more info. Thank you so much for putting this out there. Extremely helpful.
thanks for helping me with your rabbits exprience.
So educational for a new one like me who doesn't have any knowledge about the sexualities of a rabbit which gives me interest to breed rabbit too...
Thanks a lot....
Thank you! I’m a new rabbit owner. Great videos. So informative!!!
I am glad that! U show the the does and but different I never understood how to do that part thank you......rep from 🇯🇲
This is what is exactly what is needed it helps new comers know how it should be done, i keep new Zealand and English spots my new Zealand are my meat rabbits and my English spots are my show rabbits, all my hutches are made out of wood as we can't get wire cages here in the UK but they are made really strong 2x2 frames 19mm tongue and groove boards roof is covered with roofing felt too make it waterproof my hutch sizes are 48 inches by 24 inches by 18 inches they are made 3 tier high, at present all our shows are cancelled due to the virus
Thank you for sharing, very helpful and informative!
I work for a rabbit rescue and don’t condone breeding, however; I find your techniques among the best of videos I have watched. I am watching rabbit videos tonight because I have a pregnant feral rabbit in my care tonight.
I’m glad I could help!
Hello Kat how's the weather over there
This was very helpful. We got three rabbits in January, and by mid February had our first litter of 5 kits. I'm a little overwhelmed still, but grateful for resources like this.
Hello how's the weather over there
Beautiful bunnies. Great tips, very helpful. Going to try table breeding next time. Thank you
Thank you for this video. You seem to love your rabbits 🥰🐰
I love how you are breeding for the genetics etc I know people who just do it because they are greedy and you are professional keep up the good work
Great video! Thank you for posting this
Loved this video. Very informative!!
Thank you. I couldn't tell the difference until this video.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I have been struggling to get my rabbits to take to each other so I am going to try your method to see where we get.
Hello Little how's the weather over there
I find rabbit breading bothersome. But I went ahead and toughed it out and watched. Thx 😊
New subscribe here and happy to have found you!! Thank you for wall things rabbit!!!
I got what I thought was 3 sisters, same litter, only go discover when one started pulling fur, there were boys too!!! Yay me!!
Needless to say, I'm learning a lot! I love that you TEACH!!!
THANK YOU so much! Keep it up, please!
Thank you! I have wondered about the sexing for awhile, and now I know we have two bucks. Lol.
You’re welcome! Time to look for a doe! 😂
Nicely done video!
Thank you!
This is absolutely amazing I love these videos you make please make another one like this
It is on my agenda!
Thank you sooo much for this it's been great help too me starting as a young rabbit farmer❤
You did a great job preparing this this video. Had never heard of table breeding, but it makes perfect sense. I hear you about sad when some of the ones you raise up and they leave the rabbitry, Had a young NZW buck that I delivered yesterday that was just a sweet boy. I have a Lavender Rex boy that is going to make someone a great buck for foundation that I will really be sad to see go, but you have to do what you do. Thanks again. Many blessings.
You’re very welcome! It has been sad to see all of my starters leave, but I’m happy with where we’re heading 😊
It's really inspiring. Please do keep posting more videos. Which more knowledge about rabbit behavior
Awesome information Teal , I'm in the high desert in California trying to start on my rabbit adventure.
I really enjoy your videos.
New subscriber, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to learning more.
I also bred one of my doe by the name sia...am also a rabbit keeper inspired by you....thank you
Thank you so much. I'm just now getting into breeding and can't wait. I have a guy who wants some frozen for feeding his pets and I love the idea of having an easy to Raise meat source and plan to cure my furs.
I just left a comment on another one of your videos if you could do something like this and you did it perfectly! Thank you so much!
Hello Chandra how's the weather over there
I so enjoyed the video! I’m excited to see the next two parts. Fingers crossed you get some blues and chocolates, I adore the look of the blue and lilacs (which I believe lilac is a dilute of chocolate?) I especially liked the information on the table breeding, I’ve watched multiple videos on breeding and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it done that way, but definitely has some positives of being able to reposition and pull out the buck if he gets in trouble! Heres to hoping you have some great stock and I’ll be able to get a few! I mentioned the show that you had mentioned to me and my husband told me he already knew he was going to need to build a bigger hutch than the 3 cage one I had planned. 😊 Most likely.
Haha the rabbit math is real!! Is you plan on getting 3 rabbits, get 9 cages 😆
Thank you! It would be exciting if you could get some. Fingers crossed that all goes well and we end up with some nice stock ❤️
You very clear and superb. I started December 2020 newsland...enjoying litter ..bunnies so amazing
Great video and thanks for teaching us well.
New to your channel. A very good video. Full of information. I am getting 3 rabbits in a few weeks. These will be my classroom rabbits. The ones I will learn on.
Not sure why anyone would demonize you for showing how nature works.
I want all the information I can get.
Good job.
Good on you and thanks for sharing a very well presented vid. 👍
A very informative video, I'm very glad that I've found it, cheers!
You got a new subscriber. :D
love the video. I just got a rescue rabbit and I will check her (him?) out. and now we know what happens during rabbit love!
Hello Joanne how's the weather over there
@@steveanthony8653 excellent. it was upper 70's today
@@jmdenison Oh i see where are you from? I'm from Dallas Texas
Really appreciate that you showed an older buck to a younger buck. Silver Fox are s pretty
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have just bought 3 English Angoras (1buck 5 months old, 2 does 10 weeks old) and I’m trying to learn all I can about breeding them before they are old enough to start trying. I wish that I had a grown up 4 H program that would lead me and teach me. I want to be a good and responsible breeder.
Ps. I also copied your hutch set up. KW cages and had some guys build the hutch to hold them. So much better than cleaning trays everyday. With the angora wool they absolutely need to be in wire bottom cages. Very helpful video!!
You’re welcome! Angoras are beautiful ❤️
