One of the biggest mistakes people make when getting into rabbits is starting with the rabbit.

They find a cute rabbit.
They buy a cage.
They grab feed.
Then they try to figure out the plan after everything is already sitting in their yard or barn.

That is backwards.

Before you buy rabbits, you need to know what you are actually trying to build.
Are you wanting pets?
Meat rabbits?
Show rabbits?
A small side income?
A serious rabbitry you can grow over time?

Those are not all the same setup.
The breed you choose, the cage size you need, the amount of space you need, and the cost of feed all change depending on the goal.

This is why I made the free Rabbitry Start-Up Planner. https://f.mtr.cool/kwfubibupp

It helps you slow down and think through your space, expenses, breed choice, supplies, and first setup before you start spending money.

Because getting started is not the hard part.
Getting started without making expensive beginner mistakes is the part people underestimate.

Our first rabbit to go across the pond left today! We've had lots of requests but its not an easy process so must fell through.

A coordinator lined everything up. It was awesome.

Heat stress in a nursing doe can affect an entire litter fast and in this video I walk through the warning signs I noticed, the management decisions I made, and how the litter recovered.

Having a litter born during a stretch of brutal humidity is rough. We're talking 80 percent, rain every day, the kind of wet heat that just sits on everything.

The kits started looking wrinkly. Not a death sentence when it's warm out but still not a situation you want to leave alone. Wet and damp is never good for newborns even if the temperatures are warm.

The fix was pretty simple. I moved them out of the barn stall they were in and into a spot with better air circulation.

That alone made a noticeable difference. Sometimes the solution is just getting some airflow around the nest first, rather than trying to manage the nest itself.

If that is not a good enough fix then change out the nesting material to as dry as you can get. And potentially go to a mix of pin shavings and straw to help allow airflow in.

If your kits are looking wrinkly and you know it's humid, check where that nest box is sitting before you assume something is wrong with the litter.

Are your rabbits slowing down on food as the weather warms up? They are likely slowing down because of the season change. You don't eat as much when you are hot, and neither do they.

Before panicking about your rabbit dying, take a breath and look at what is happening around them.

One thing I’ve always done here is send rabbits home with their pedigrees already completed and ready to go the day the rabbit leaves.

Not:
“I’ll mail it later.”
Or:
“I’ll get it to you eventually.”

Life happens, things get busy, papers get misplaced, and loose ends pile up fast.

Over the years I’ve tried to build systems habits that keep the entire operation organized without having to think about it. It’s just what we do.

Ear numbers assigned.
Pedigrees filled out.
Records updated.
Buyer information documented.

It’s a small detail, but I think professionalism is built through small details repeated consistently over time. And THAT will build your reputation like nothing else will.

Especially in livestock.

And honestly, good organization makes rabbit raising significantly less stressful overall. Once records start falling behind, it becomes very difficult to untangle later.

A lot of rabbitry management is really just building habits that prevent problems before they start.

👉 What's one habit that has made keeping animals easier for you?

One of the simplest switches I made in my rabbitry that I wish I had found this bowl sooner.
These rubber dog bowls from Walmart. $4.92 each.

I ditched water bottles over a decade ago but was using flimsy plastic bowls that broke every year. For a breed the size of a French Lop, bottles don't hold enough water for a full 24 hours you'd need two per rabbit just to cover it. The decent ones that actually don't leak are expensive, and the cheap ones bend and start leaking anyway, especially after a winter of freezing and thawing.

These bowls hold enough water for two days for a single adult rabbit and even more if you have a doe and litter. They're rubber and heavy enough that even my biggest animals can't flip them or throw them around.
But the pulse side is when the water freezes solid, you just flex the bowl like an ice cube tray and the whole block pops right out. No defrosting. Thirty seconds and you're done.

They last three to five years in my experience and they're five dollars. https://f.mtr.cool/midtqpsfvt
