Also design the house in a way that fresh air can get in when its very hot, you don’t want your rabbit to die from too much heat. The rabbit house can have two rooms, one room can be open with windows whilst the other room can be closed to give the rabbit more privacy.

You should also let you rabbit exercise to keep strong and healthy. One way of helping your rabbit exercise is putting a rabbit run in the house. And don’t forget to put some water so that your rabbit drinks when they are tasty.

When you decide to raise rabbits as a business you should be prepared to work more then when just raising rabbits as pets. The first thing to do when starting out is to choose the right breed for the project.

When you want to raise rabbits for meat the right breed to choose is the Californians and New Zealands breeds. These breeds are easily to care for and mature faster. Some people even cross breed them because their babies grow faster and produce great tasting meat. New Zealands breeds can take just 8 weeks to be ready for the market and Californians have fine boned body structures with lots of flesh.

For your rabbits to produce quality meat you have to feed them well. Pellets and alfalfa hay is highly recommended to feed your rabbits, they contain just the nutrients needed in meat production. On the other hand lettuce and cabbage is not recommended because they can cause diarrhea. You also shouldn’t over feed your rabbits because this will cause body fat.

Breeding is also important when it comes to raising rabbits for meat. Rabbits that are medium are bred when they are 5 to 6 months but large breeds should be bred when they are 8 months. Only healthy and not closely related rabbits should be bred. The female rabbit should be taken into the male cage when mating the two, reason being female rabbits are territorial in their own cage thus they won’t allow the male to mate with them

The gestation period of rabbits takes about 30 days which is the same time they take to give birth. The doe should be as comfortable as possible when given birth. Rabbits know how to take care of their babies so there is no need to worry. But just in case you need to offer a hand you can feed them with a mixture of skim milk, karo syrup, egg yolks and bone meal.

Rabbits are no doubt adorable creatures, they are fluffy and cute which is why a lot of people like keeping them as pets. But before you too start raising rabbits you have to know how to take care of them.

Just like any other animal rabbits require some love and attention. Loving them means you should care for them by providing them with the right food and shelter. Rabbits require some special kind of food compared to other types of livestock like chickens or cattle. For food rabbits can be given a mixture of fruits, vegetable and hay. For younger rabbits you should give them alfalfa hay and older rabbits can be given timothy hay.

The type of fruits you can give your rabbits are apples, pears, melons, strawberries and peaches. When giving them these fruits you can cut them into smaller pieces. When it comes to vegetables you can give them spinach, broccoli and not forgetting their favorite carrots. Dandelions can be given to them as well.

Clean water should be given to your rabbits as well on daily bases. The right way to give water to your bunnies is by placing a water container just outside the cage but in reach for the rabbit. The reason why you should put the water container outside is because the rabbits can knock over the container as a result the house will get wet.

Rabbits need to be groomed as like dogs do. Every once in a while you can brush your rabbits fur. If your rabbit has short fur you can brush them twice a week and if they have long fur then try to brush them everyday if possible. To brush the rabbit you can buy special brushes that are designed for rabbit fur.
