Why I Separate Rabbit Litters Early (And the Benefits I've Seen) litters

In this update on my large French Lop litter, I'm separating the young rabbits into smaller groups—and there's more behind that decision than simply needing extra cage space.

I've found that separating young rabbits can reduce competition for feed, bring down the overall energy level of the group, and help them fill out and grow better instead of simply trying to solve the problem by adding more food.

It can also make a difference in temperament and gives me a much better opportunity to evaluate each rabbit as I decide which ones may stay in my breeding program.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions in rabbit breeding is that the answer is always *more.*

More cages.

More rabbits.

More litters.

More breeds.

More everything.

But after more than 16 years of raising French Lops, I've actually found the opposite to be true.

A smaller rabbitry forces you to make better decisions.

Every breeding has to have a purpose.

Every rabbit has to earn its place.

When you only have room for a certain number of breeding animals, you naturally become more selective.

Instead of asking, *"Could I keep this rabbit?"*

You start asking, *"Should I keep this rabbit?"*

That one question changes everything.

A smaller herd also lets me notice the little things.

I can see changes in appetite.

I notice if one of the rabbits is acting differently.

I can spend time handling young rabbits so they grow into rabbits that are easier to evaluate, easier to show, and easier for families to enjoy.

None of this means a large rabbitry can't be successful.

But bigger isn't automatically better.

For me, I'd rather have a rabbitry where every rabbit has a purpose than one where I simply own more rabbits than I can truly manage well.

Well Missie is still very much pregnant but still waiting. Brooke on the other hand is probably not going to have anything and looking like her production years are over early. Twice now I can feel kits with her and then every time the last week she starts absorbing them during the last week. Such a bummer because I wanted to keep a doe from her. But its been one of those year where my keeper plans made God laugh...

Hahaha she is a trooper tolerating the almost 3 year olds finger in her face🩷 I probably would have nipped him 🤪

It's really easy when you're building a rabbitry to think the next rabbit will be the thing that finally moves you forward.

A better doe.
Another buck.
One more bloodline.
A few more cages.

But eventually you realize that more rabbits also mean more feed, more cages, more time, more litters to sell, and more decisions to make.

The question isn't really:"How many rabbits should I have?"

It's: "What am I actually trying to build?"

That's a big part of why I created the Profitable Rabbitry Playbook.

It's not about turning rabbits into some get-rich-quick business.

In a world of "that's so cute," we need more people talking about putting thinking a head before you act on emotion.

It's about putting enough thought and planning behind your rabbitry that the hobby doesn't have to continually drain your family's bank account.

If you're ready to stop collecting rabbits and start building your rabbitry with more purpose, that's exactly who I created it for.

Missy is the next doe that is due this week.

This is her first litter, and after raising rabbits this long, predicting how differently individual does handle raising babies will never be possible.

They are like "Oh you thought that... Cute lets do this instead"

Missie is no exception. She was a doe that loved attention and I was going to pose her up nice and take pictures before I bred her.

The minute she smelled a buck she LOST ALL MANNERS! She was nuts and even sprayed p*e my direction.

Even Weston (my 2 almost 3 year old) was like, "What is she doing!"

Some are meticulous nest builders. Some barely give you a clue. Some want everything left exactly where they put it.

At this stage I'm mostly setting her up, watching what she does, and letting experience tell me whether anything actually needs my involvement.

We'll be watching for another litter toward the end of the week.
