I personally have the field and stream electric grinder. It takes time for big game such as deer or antelope but it does work pretty well even with adding fat. Depending how how fine you like your meat you might have to run it through twice. But for rabbit meat I think it would do just fine and...
no her sides do not look bulged. she does just fine if you are just trying to touch her to pet, but she once you try to rub the sides of her belly she try's to run away and does not want to be picked up. Not sure though if she is just not used to be handled though. She does not pu her hay in her...
I also am not sure how to tell if your doe is pregnant any ideas on what I could do? We just got her last week and the people we got her from had her in the same cage with the buck (which we also bought). we separated them the day after we brought them home. The night we brought them home they...

Hello all I am new to raising rabbits and was wondering what amount of feed and the type I should be using? To shed a little light on what I am currently doing now I will explain: First of all we have 1 6month old New Zealand Red buck, 1 6month old New Zealand Red doe, and 1 3month old New...
