Good rabbit mother

I have one buck and three does. They are all Californians except for Molly. She is a large mix. Each doe gives me six to 10 kits, or babies. I harvest them at 8 weeks. They are not yet full grown but I do not want to feed them any longer. They start eating at about three weeks but I leave them in with their mother until 4 weeks. Mother gets four weeks off then I breed her again. She has her kits in about 30 days. That gives me about four litters a year per doe. I get about 1.5 lbs to 2.5 lbs of meat from each one. They taste like chicken.


These are Molly's babies. There are six of them. They are just about ready to harvest. Molly has a history of not making a nest for her babies and they die from exposure. She did a better job this time.

This is Lexi and she is a good mother rabbit. She made a nest for her newborn kits. She pulled fur from her body to make a soft nest. It is very very soft. The kits are under the fur blanket.
