Very interesting topic, not just for someone raising meat rabbits, but also a pet owner. Thanks for sharing! I'm praying for everyone located in areas forecast to see severe weather!!! Stay safe and keep us posted!!!🙏
@@SageandStoneHomestead Let’s hope she holds off until after the storm threat!!! Do you have space to deliver in the storm shelter… just kidding!! Prayers that you and your family are safe and well!!!
that would be funny! haha! I've got her kidding stall all ready and I'll be putting her in it tonight and watching from the monitor. I don't think it's supposed to get nasty around here until the afternoon but it will be windy for sure before then!
This has been an exceptionally helpful series! Thank you Heather! Even after raising rabbits most of my life, I've learned lots! I believe raising rabbits can be an excellent investment toward providing meat for a family. God bless!
A note on Critical Care Herbivore - it is a feeding supplement intended for syringe/assist/force feeding. There is no medication in it, so it was probably more a supportive measure for the snuffles rather than an actual treatment. But still good to have.
Im building cages soon. But damn its hard to find silver fox rabbits in Norway. French lops are whats common the most. But i'd love to get a breed thats special so i can also sell some. Looking into those items, but i doubt i can import them without vets approval. Sad about your dead baby bunny. Much love and blessings from Norway
I am new to your channel and I have enjoyed your series I used to raise rabbits also for meat and fur when I was in 4 H I did my own tanning It was a good time for me in my teenage years back in the 70s
@@SageandStoneHomestead I remember soaking them and rinsing repeat and then on a stretcher to dry for days after that we would work them to get that smooth suede texture on the skin side and then we would sell them to people so they can make purses and other things A lady even made a scarf for her neck
Wait what? We aren't going to be able to buy animal antibiotics anymore? Can you point me towards an article you read or something so I can educate myself please? Edit: also I have loved y'alls rabbit videos, y'all are awesome, this video is very helpful thank you
Thanks for this video. I plan to rewatch and take notes and watch your other videos also. Good info for pet rabbits also. We just recently lost one. Not sure why. Is there signs for the GI issue?
They will go off feed and sometimes get so much air in their belly that you can feel it gurgling around wen you massage their abdomen. They will stop pooping.
What brand of rabbit pellets are you using? I recently switched with disastrous results!!! I mixed in the new feed carefully & gradually. Within 3 days I'd lost my 2 best breeders! 😢 One was a gorgeous Broken Black New Zealand doe! 😭 Hoping & praying to find another this spring but Broken Blacks seem a little hard to find!
OH sorry I thought this was on a goat video. I have no idea on the oral dosages for rabbits. But we have given injection a few times. Maybe it can be ordered?
I am interested in beginning a meat rabbit journey but I live in Southern California and we had days that reached 106 for multiple days. Is it really wise to invest the start up funds and then lose many rabbits every summer from the heat. Do I have only a 50/50 chance of healthy rabbits coming through the hot summers.
I've got a couple research studies on Ivermectin and Corid in the description! Thanks for watching!

Heather I’m praying for your family. It looks like the bullseye will be in Kentucky Stay safe. I’m afraid this will be a horrible weekend.
I agree. Thank you so much. 💕

Hello!! I wish I knew a resource for Silver Fox in Norway, they are relatively rare here! ♥ Thanks for watching!
Very good info!
Thanks!!
Great info on raising meat rabbits!
Glad it was helpful! ❤️

That's awesome! Do you remember what you all did to tan the hides? We are experimenting with different methods.

I sent a link, let me know if YT blocks it and you can't see it! ♥
@Sage and Stone Homestead It worked and I've got it bookmarked, thankyou so much!!!
@Sage and Stone Homestead omg this is really upsetting news, but I'm happy to be informed now instead of later.
I'm so glad you saw this!!!

This is a video I took of GI stasis and the solution!

@@SageandStoneHomestead thanks
Was that terrible accident with the Blackhawk helicopters at the Army base close to you guys? 😢
Extremely close yes. Between our house and GWP Homestead but closer to us. Heartbreaking.
@@SageandStoneHomestead that’s what I thought! So scary!

OH NO!! We use Kalmbach 15%!! I'm so sorry!!!
How much apple cider vinegar would you suggest to add to their water?
We have 32oz bottles and put a splash that probably is 1-2 tablespoons!❤️
@@SageandStoneHomestead ok. Thanks so much! We just had our first litter last night! Very exciting. Can’t wait to get some meat for the freezers.
YAY Congrats!!
For the ivermectin.. Is the paste version ok to use?? I can get that at my TSC store.
Yes use the 1.87% horse paste. Email me, I have a dosage chart I can send you!

No you have a very good chance of them being fine especially if you provide the right coverage and airflow for them. We are regularly 110 here
Having said that we don’t breed in the hot months
Igh of course it’s gone off the market. They don’t want self sustaining people. 😢 getting my first rabbits tomorrow
What's not on the market? I maybe can help you locate something you need!
