I don't see them going in them much, jumping and sitting on top they really seem to enjoy.

I know this breed is really too small for a group of people, but if it's just for The Moose and me, it would likely be enough for a meal. But I think we'll get some of the kinks worked out in this new adventure and then I'm sure we'll be looking for the larger breeds.Izzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07750628123685151713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47500309065585679.post-8339585450589114452014-08-13T13:54:19.654-04:002014-08-13T13:54:19.654-04:00Izzy,

One real immediate positive thing, you'll have great fertilizer. Enjoy your new rabbits :-)Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47500309065585679.post-57622764994402555002014-08-13T11:16:29.478-04:002014-08-13T11:16:29.478-04:00Ya can't beat free rabbits with a stick.

Just reread that.
If you want the meat rabbi...OH. Just reread that. <br /><br />If you want the meat rabbits, get those big white ones. Dutch I think they are called. <br /><br />Also, rabbits are (sort of) intelligent, some of them require toys to keep them from getting bored and becoming self-destructive, or aggressive if they are housed together. <br />Think cat toys- little balls, bigger balls, and such. Actually, the most hilarious thing I've ever seen was our dwarf playing with a volleyball. Trying to sit on top of it. Some of them like heights. <br />-fjordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47500309065585679.post-20431430499925884472014-08-13T07:17:57.754-04:002014-08-13T07:17:57.754-04:00We had rabbits for awhile but they ended up escap...We had rabbits for awhile but they ended up escaping. All except the one that (seemed like) it was suffering from epilepsy. But possibly perished because it got a draft from a sudden cold front. (probably not something you have to worry about in FL) <br /><br />Are you raising them for meat or to sell as pets? <br /> THe only advice I can give is don't let them graze directly on the ground. They are very susceptible to roundworm. Which kills them. <br /><br /><br />-fjord<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
