We Have Bunnies

My neighbor discovered a nest of bunnies in our backyard. It explains the adult bunny that has been frequenting our property as of late.

I squeezed in time between work and volleyball to visit the gym and do a 3 mile run tonight. I didn't like being so pressed for time but at least I made it. The time crunch did motivate me to bump up the treadmill speed at least.

Sandi, I have to say you take some very crisp, clear pictures. I hope you don't have a garden in your backyard, the bunnies have to eat!!!

The single most important step before building a rabbitry or beginning commercial rabbit production is to develop a market for the rabbits. In most cases producers must develop their own markets. Rabbits produced for their meat must have good loins, shoulders, hips and pelts. The rabbit meat industry will not buy unhealthy rabbits; therefore, rabbit producers must furnish healthy, high-quality, disease-free rabbits to the processors.

Rabbits raised for meat are generally marketed as fryers, weighing 4.5 to 5 pounds, live weight. Rabbits will reach market weight at about 8 weeks of age. The market price for live fryer rabbits ranges from $.30 to $.60 per pound.

The fur market requires that the rabbits have meaty carcasses and clean, top-quality pelts. A large number of pelts are usually required to obtain a satisfactory price. Pelt prices depend on quality and vary from $4.00 to $16.00 per pelt.
