Rabbit farming is mostly not looked at by farmers and it's a good thing for you and me let's use this year to boost our income.

I needed to know about rabbit farming before trying to convince anyone to join and so far it's been really great.

I started rabbit farming in March 2022 with an American chinchilla doe and a palomino buck.
I was surprised to wake up to first litters exactly 23 of April exact day I got the doe and buck. They looked like rat and soon after 10 days there eyes open and so fast they were grown and running every where at 21 days old, at day 32 of there life there mom gave birth again. I wasn't expecting that so i separated them from her and put them up for sale at a local fowl feed store close to me. First day at the shop people were just asking what it was and second day I sold all making more than what I used to buy both parents.
The fun begun.
I was impressed and wanted to know more about them so I started researching and linking up with farmers far and near.
By ending of June I had another set of kits and I decided to separate the male from the female. So I sold out her 4 weaners that was left from her second delivery she lost 5 out of 9 she gave birth to.
So I sold out the four left and purchase iron mesh for building cage. I finished the cage and seperated the mum and the buck.

I was producing selling and buying better breeds to increase my farm and it worked for me I have sold out the buck and doe I started with I now have 25 room cages and automatic water and feeding system. With 5 does to liter this week.

The story from here for me has been very interesting. Now I sell hybrid rabbits as I have improved the breeds in my farm to good quality breeds that grow fast in 3 months for meat and lots of different breeds for pets too
I now supply to pet shops and also to market butchers that sell goat meat too. And even sell rabbit to far away Jos, Abuja, Enugu, imo, Akure, and my PH people.

I know 2023 would be better as I plan to produce more meat rabbit because I don't meet demand for that and it makes the butcher guys not happy. According to him people like to buy the skinned rabbit meat with the goat meat.

I'll be written more under these as it goes if I have the chance to but I thought to motivate someone to start making money this year, I call them my blood money because u spend very little feeding them on grass hay and pellets and gain so much.

And I had delicious Rabbit meat for the holidays

Peace.

Haha That is not true. Just pick it from the back and that is it. Rabbits bite when they are frightened. Cheers.

I want drinkers, I'm also in PH, funny enough.
I had nearly 30 last year, my dogs ate every one of them. I've sold my dogs and restarted, mainly for meat and fertilizer.

Behold these beauties

I think they should've bite me many times if they do o, because I beat and throw them like stone whenever I see them outside their camped segment. Got 4 of them early January and camp them inside pen with strong nets. These guys has destroyed anything on sight including all slippers using in the pen, solar cables, and sprayers bets. They will always find their way outside the net whenever no one is there.

They don't seem growing in my eyes sef despite placing them on New hope professional feed and Moringa leafs. What else can I give them to grow fast and start producing young ones. Do they do well in the cage than giving them enough space on the floor?
