@ GlorytoGod
GOD bless you sir!!
Even if i dont know how you look like in reality or had never even come across your username until my rabbit search, i trusted and sent you money for ten rabbits with the hope that i might get scammed but you sent not ten but eleven rabbits all the way from ilorin to Anambra state..
For now all i have to say is thank you and GOD bless!!!
Would definately be doing business with you again.

Rabbit Cages
By recommendation, all wire cages are better.You can either purchase your cages from a
reputable manufacturer or build
them by yourself. From experience,even though wooden cages
require more cleaning and possibly sanitizing,they are cheaper and easily manipulated.l can comfortably say that once you leave some few mm space between the planks on the floor of cage,for proper draining of urine,and you are prepared to always take out their poo two to three times a week,you will be OK. Each space for one rabbit on the cages should be around 36"
wide,30" deep and 18" high
(minimum of 30"x30"x18" for the
does and 30" wide, 30" deep and
18" high (minimum of 24"x30"x18"
for the bucks. The floor should be
1/2" x 1" 14 gauge galvanized wire
(if you insist on using wire )
The door opening should be at least
12" x 12", although bigger is nice.
Doors swinging inward will keep the
rabbits in just in case you forget to
latch the door. Doors that open
outward will allow you to more easily get inside the cage without
pushing the rabbits aside. It all
depends on your personal preference. At Glory to God Farms, we
prefer cages that open out, hinged
on the right side.
Both types have
their unique benefits.
You also may want to consider
getting "baby saver" walls. This is
1/2" x 1" wirea long the bottom 4
to 6 inches of the walls (same wire
as the floor). This will save litters
(kittens) from falling out of the cage onto
the ground and dying when a new
mother mistakenly has the litter outside the nest box.Wait a minute,what do you intend to do with their poo?Throw it away? Oh No.It is huge huge resources for planting.Our vegetables and other plants are happy and growing huge and of our sack can't be any easier using rabbit poo! I will post more on rabbit poo and on wait for it.... 'rabbit urine fertiliser'!

There Is A way you can construct wooden cages without ever having to clean the cage

GlorytoGod:
You are right sir.From my last post,one can deduce that cages constructed with right mesh-wire are almost 100% self-cleaning ;taking care of feed remnant will probably be the only form of cleaning left to be done.

vicdamm:

Constructing a wooden cage with wire mesh big enough for poop and urine to drop out but small for new born bunnies from dropping out as the base of each layer and aluminium roof which would slant backwrd as the top of each layer with spce between each cage.
This way, all waste whtsoever would drop out nd slide down like rain on a roof
To make it more interesting, automatic drinkers can be installed so the only thing one has to worry about is feeding

GlorytoGod:
To get them to Lagos is easier,only 4 hour journey, compared to Ilorin-Anambra which is 8 hours.You can send money to me and l will send your rabbits to you. (l won't dupe anybody for anything) Alternatively,you can come over,send someone or if you know of a driver plying Lagos-Ilorin.

gowaga68:

So, how much will it cost me to get just 3 family for a start? Am not base in Lagos but somewhere in the North (but will pick them at Lagos).

GlorytoGod:
A family of three and a half months old is sold for N7,500 ( l bought for N10,000 when l was starting) but l don't have them now ( l just sold 17 families to 2 people who want to start commercial breeding). Remember that 2 females and 1 male make up a family. However a family of two months old,which l have for sale now, is sold for only N3,000 Therefore 3 families cost N9,000 only.

What breed is it?

GlorytoGod:
Get started with a good foundation stock. Beware of fly-by-night sellers and find a reputable breeder to get your rabbits. A good foundation can make a huge difference in your production.
A good way to start small is by getting 2 bucks(males) and 4 does(females). This will allow you to start your breeding on a small scale and learn the basics. Having 2 bucks protects your breeding program if one of your bucks dies, giving you time to raise another while still using your remaining buck for breeding. Just be sure that if you are just starting out, start small. Making mistakes on a small scale is much better than making them on a large scale. As you learn the ropes, grow your rabbitry. And no matter how much you study on the subject, you will always be making improvements. Also, make sure you are getting your information from qualified producers. Everyone is willing to give free information, whether accurate or not. And especially with the Internet, anyone can claim to be an expert while sitting behind the keyboard. Unfortunately even many veterinarians are lacking correct information on raising rabbits and in fact,on other animals,and may give inaccurate advice to their clients. Ask people who have the same goals as you do. Raising a rabbit for show is completely different from raising a rabbit for meat production. And even those raising rabbits for meat production vary dramatically from the casual breeder who is more interested in the hobby of raising rabbits to the serious breeder who is trying to maximize their results and get the most meat out of every penny spent, while maintaining good, healthy lives for their rabbits. Find those who have been raising rabbits and learned through experience and association with others in the business. Getting correct information at the beginning of your endeavour will save money, headaches and time. It can make all the difference between a very rewarding experience and a less-than-optimal experience.
