First-Time Rabbit Keeping Guide: How to Choose Healthy Breeding Stock and Control the Scale of Your Operation
For first-time rabbit keepers, pay attention to the health of the breeding stock and the scale of the operation
New rabbit keepers should buy few or no baby or young rabbits. Because the digestive systems of baby and young rabbits are not yet fully developed, they are the most prone to enteritis or indigestion, and combined with changes in environment and feed and long-distance transport, this easily leads to a higher mortality rate during introduction. Therefore, you should buy young rabbits weighing over 1.5 kg.
New rabbit keepers lack rabbit-keeping knowledge and practical experience, so it is best to buy a small number of breeding rabbits; gain experience with a small number first, then gradually expand. If you start by buying many breeding rabbits, because feed management, feed nutrition and disease prevention techniques cannot keep up, it easily causes mass deaths.
