GAC youd be better breeding you own, once they get going theres no stopping em.
and the babies grow extremely fast. you only need 2 smelly males at the most for a load of females lol if you have a garden even better you can keep them mainly at grass just supplement the females with bred soaked in a lil milk for strong babbies with abit of hay and a bowl of rabbit food every 5 days or so.
males can be kept on soley grass and hay but you can add the commerical rabbit food every now and then.
with four females youll get around 20 or more often more kittens each breeding.
best way to do it.
typcially a few bales of hay at 3 quid each and your set. |

as for time your looking at ten mins a day for quite a few rabbits i kept mine in alarge shed but kept alot seperate.
the largish rabbit runs inside a shed/garage work a treat easy to clean and they dont need that much space if your just breeding em.
timewise the mother does all the work for the kits u dnt need to do anything.
but i soppose if your growing them to adulthood you may need more space but litters can stay together through adulthood something not often done but i never had probs jus seperate the sexes lol. |
