We stuff the next box floor to ceiling with hay. I find that they have much less cold loss that way. It's especially helpful for new moms who don't know exactly how to build a good nest.
Happy to find you! New subscriber. I currently have 2 (first timers) pregnant does who will be kindling, Lord willing, in the next 2 weeks. Also looking to hatch my first incubated chicks in the next 24 hours or so 🥰❤ I appreciate your insights and also your expression of faith. Thank you for sharing your experiences for others like me who are starting out with new adventures in homesteading!
Holy cow….B!!!! I miss you. I accidentally hit your contact info on my phone the other day and it said the number was disconnected. Figured it was a sign and I sent good energy your way I am so excited you guys got chicks! ❤️
I raise meat rabbits too kat, easiest meat to raise ever. I have California males and New Zealand females. I haven’t even been able to personally eat any lately, as they sell faster than I can produce them. It’s a constant battle with the heat where I live. When I find a place to buy, imma get them a shed with a air conditioner run by solar. Love those braids beautiful :)
That’s a good problem to have! Far better than having too many rabbits and no interest. I bred my rabbits for heat tolerance but our summer temperatures here aren’t extreme. What are your temps like?
😆 I call them plague monsters. They are covered in fleas and ticks here. I used to have a ton of cotton tail and jacks, my dogs keep their numbers down now. I’m good with putting in the work and having some control of my meat. Plus I get poop and pelts…and ridiculously adorable baby rabbits.
Do you have any tips for rabbits that will not breed?? I've gotten 1 litter in 2 years and I'm very frustrated. I put them under lights, I've given them horny goat weed, I've switched their cages and I've put them together for a week at a time even. I have NO KITS!
Over the last couple years, I have had less kits than ever and I have heard lots of other homesteaders with rabbits having issues getting their rabbits to successfully kindle. You aren’t alone
@@LittleBitsofHeavenHomestead depending on summer or winter they get 3/4-1cup of 16% pellet. In the winter they also get a pinch of BOSS or they will get rail thin. I'm in Northern MN. Hay too of course.
@@LittleBitsofHeavenHomestead both does are proven, they each had 1 litter last summer and of course it was the hottest month on record for MN and they all died! Many many people lost rabbits up here cuz we had a drought.

@@tracybruring7560 awwwwww!!!!! Congrats!!!
🐇🐇🐇 love the braids ❤🔥
Thanks, Josh ☺️
So great......goodluck with them!! How many weeks you raise them?
Crazy how much work goes into domestic rabbits. I would run over around 30 jackrabbits every morning and every night in the oilfield.

Not long johns but the material is similar
I’m going to try to be more consistent about putting up content
going to try letting mine build their own nest next time. usually i just throw it all in the box and walk away.
That works too!
Another video! And the hair...
