As cute as they are, rabbits are wonderful livestock that make raising food and products within reach for many that don't have a large footprint. The American rabbit (now on the watch list) has enabled me, on 1.7 acres to provide ample meat for my family. I am eager for more awareness of the origins and current benefits of this wonderful animal.

Domestication of rabbits occurred much later than it did for most other domesticated species. Romans began keeping wild rabbits in enclosed colonies around 2,000 years ago, and true domestication started by the 12th century in France, when rabbits were selectively bred for meat and fur production. By the 16th century, rabbits were being kept as a food source across much of Europe, becoming important livestock, especially in urban areas.

This makes me so happy to see the heritage breed I've been stewarding for 14 yrs. is growing! Thank you to all who have bought stock from me and given this breed the attention and love it needed.
Keep up the good work!

Progress worth celebrating: The American Rabbit has moved from Threatened to Watch on the Conservation Priority List.

This step forward reflects the dedication of breeders, farmers, and supporters working together to strengthen the future of this heritage breed.

Having a rabbitry on the same footprint for over 10 years, a buildup of parasites is not a surprise. When I started, I didn't have a loss for the first 3-5 years that I can remember.
Then the losses started during around the weaning stage. It's been frustrating and heartbreaking to see vibrant kits suffering and wither away to bloat and weaning enteritis caused by coccidiosis.
This video, even though it's for sheep and goats, explains very clearly what I suspected. You cannot truly eliminate cocci infection, but you can lesson it's load and stack the odds for your kits to survive and establish eventual immunity. It also cover prevention and treatment options.
I wanted to share this quality info to use in your situation.
