When assessing rabbit kits, it can be hard to tell who will make a good meat rabbit breeder. I am taking you through my assessment process to see exactly what I look for when evaluating rabbit kits for potential breeder status.

Perfect timing on this, I’m planning on cycling out my stock this summer

We did a major breeder cull last year. And it really has helped us improve our rabbits

@@LivingtheHightLife it’s honestly frustrating to me that I have such a hard time navigating threw the internet to find the correct information and that someone that’s putting out such in depth information is not a-lot bigger on this platform

@LivingtheHightLife 8 месяцев назад

@@user-dw9qg3lm6u I totally understand. That's exactly why I started writing books about rabbits. I hope it will help make the information more readily available.

Why do you like the red eyes? I breed for blue eyes.

@LivingtheHightLife Год назад

I don't know. I didn't like them when we first started out breeding rabbits but they have grown on me. I think they looked less weird to me when I understood what they are. Their eyes aren't actually red. Their eyes are colorless. The red is the blood you see pumping in the veins behind the eyes. Their genes that makes them red eye white removes all color from being expressed. I think it's fun that they are mysteries of what color combo they would actually be. I'm interested if I cross them with a red or blue, what color kits they will have.

Where did you get the scale??

@LivingtheHightLife Час назад

Amazon. I use a kitchen scale for small kits and a fish scale for larger rabbits.

@viorelmocanu1205 Год назад

What will be the best? To keep male breeders from my kits or to add every year new males from other farms? To increase genetic diversity

@LivingtheHightLife Год назад

Good question, and to be honest, it depends on the situation. If you have a doe who has a good trait you want your future kits to have, breed her to a son that has the same trait. Keep a doe from that litter and breed her back to her father. This allows the genes to become locked in. You can continue to use that buck in your genetic line until all the kits born from them have the trait you are looking for. And then, bring in a new buck to bring in new genetics. Choose something else to improve on and start the process over. I use this to improve size, produce bigger hindquarters, to increase the arch of the back, fur color, etc. Whatever you think your rabbits are lacking. The problem with bringing in new genetics is that you can't lock in genetic traits because the genes are always different.
