dav8id: You cant be a successful agro produce trader without local agent. Either you trust them and do business with them or you recruite your local agent from someone you trust and inject him in the market by following all their requirement of being the a local agent in the market. Thats what the ultimate Olam Nig did in the saseme market.
By the process of injecting ur personal agent in the market is what i dont knw but a simple visit to the market by u and make the full enquirement will do u gud.

fayahsoul: Africans sef. To us everything foreign is superior to local content. Look, these foreign breeds have been intensively geneticaly modified via boitech and therefore cannot be classified as pure. Rather its our local breeds that are organic and pure. Its not normal for a cow to produce 45 litres of milk a day. Does a calf need that much milk? That's a genetic disorder. The mammary gland inhibitors have been silenced this allows the over production of milk.

Hay simply means dry grass. So u can make tons of it by urself.

ewizard1: Glad to find this thread...

I love rabbits with Passion and i just bought 2 (Male n Female) from an Aboki i saw passing by on my street.
I dont know the breeds, neither do i know how old they are but i am very sure they are still babies. They are both PLAIN WHITE in color.

I need help on how to rear this animals.
Can they stay in my room, cause i presently have the hopping around on my rug.
What local food/grass can i feed them with.
How often i should feed them and also the enviroment care.

Thanks.

NOTE : I bought as a pet as i would sometimes carry them like babies. grin


I would share pictures of them soon. I petnamed them RONNY(Male) & BELLA(Female)
..
I have one advice for you: dont feed them anything that's high in starch/sugar. This include fruits, carrots, etc. If you'll feed at all, feed very little. 3 teaspoon of fruit juice may even be too much sugar for an adult rabbit! High starch/sugar can lead to death!
..
Also, dont feed them with wet grass. Dont cut grass in the morning, allow them to dry first bc wet grass can lead to a serious condition called bloating. This can lead to death. NOTE: this is wrong. Wet grass isn't dangerous for rabbits. I made a mistake. The dangerous thing is if you cut grass and leave it in a pile (i.e. In a bunch or with one grass on another). In a pile, the grass will ferment and become dangerous for rabbits. It upset their stomach and can lead to death.
..
Feed them with lots of hay, it's good for wearing down their ever-growing teeth.
..
Goodluck.

Anything high in starch/sugar will kill a rabbit in large amt, and carrot is included. Feed ur rabbits lots of carrot and watch the rate at which they'll die. U may find it difficult to believe bc of popular cartoons that associate carrots with rabbits. But do a simple search in google and you'll see wot i mean.

dyoungforester: Kudos to all my rabbit lovers;
now grasscutter vs rabbit which one is better to rear.To me apart from being a rabbit lover, rabbit rearing pays better than Grasscutter rearing. My reason
1st. Rabbit is easy to domesticate than a grasscutter in terms of facilities like building of cages requirements. Money for acquisition i.e purchasing for instance grasscutter is sold in colony or family which mean 4 female and 1 male but not matured one at the rate of 45k unlike a rabbit where u can establish rabbitry with just 10 mature female and 2 or 3 male with less expensive housing unlike grasscutter.
2; Grasscutter are all wild and not friendly like a rabbit
3; Gestation period of grasscutter is 45 day or more unlike rabbit 28 - 32 max 35 days
4. In terms of litters i.e kit, rabbit is the first ranging from 5 kits 12kits with my experience while grasscutter is ranging 2 to 5 kits hardly 7kits. E.t.c as you can see rabbit rearing is the best.
As you can see start one now and enjoy the happiness of it. One love rabbit lovers, one love dyoungforester.
Motto- breeding to be the best.
And remember the love of rabbit is the love of good returns. Stay bless.
..
Is the gestation period for grasscutter really 45 days? I though it is much more longer than that.

#EBOLA............
Rabbit meat kor Bunny meat ni
..
Misconception. What we're discussing here is not bush meat, but farm-raised rabbits. Where will they get the ebola from? I'm nt saying it is impossible for farm-raised rabbits to get it, but then other farm-raised animals like cattle etc can also get it.
AgricultureRe: Interesting Facts About Rabbits (oryctolagus Cuniculus). by FarmTech(mod): 8:57pm On Aug 01, 2014
whitecat007: Long throat! Humans should stick with fish, beef and chicken, and leave bunny alone, haba! Those cuties make great pets and avoid ebola.
..
Rabbit is a farm animal and is eaten all over the world. In some places they're pests, not pets and they cause serious havoc to crops. One man's meat may be another man's poison.

Dexpro: At what age will she start laying? Laying starts when she is 15 to 19 months old.

Matured to be slaughtered When they are 6-9 months old.

How many eggs can she lay in a year? It depends on how well she is fed. You'll get 30 eggs. **

felixzo1: the only place i know tse tse fly attack people even at home is the delta region. just a open house will be okay,( but if the cases of tse tse fly arise , you can alway use a net to cover the pens) similar to the one provide below, it is good the do not stand on the ground in wet regions, because more disease are transferred that way.( foot and mouth disease and respiratory diseases) goats love dryness. crossing the the northern goats for example sokoto red with a nigerian dwarf will help with easier adaptation and hybrid vigour.northern goats do not do well in the south because of poor housing

What do u mean by proper housing? U mean a closed house?
..
Do u also think that crossing a livestock from the north, with a tse tse resistant livestock from the south, will make the offspring to be resistant to the fly?
