Breeder!
Chillin' with the herd
I'm looking to start a rabbit colony and breed them for meat and possibly for sale as pets or breeders if I get to a quality standard.
I would prefer to keep the rabbits in a colony. Is a buck and two does sufficient for a colony? Would the buck over breed he does if there's just two, and at times just one if a doe is quarantined for nursing?
Are certain rabbits better for the colony lifestyle than others?
We have two young children. I need a breed that is not agressive in nature (understanding there's always outliers). Any thoughts on friendly breeds?
I'm leaning towards Flemish Giants as they would be fun pets and worth something at sale while still providing meat.
