Raising Rabbits

Post by cburchett77 »

I am tired of buying rabbits every month or so, so I have decided to start raising my own. I don't know much about raising them, so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My rabbit pens are 24"x24" with a nesting box on the outside of them that is probably 12"x12". I am buying 2 does and one buck. All are called knotheads. Don't know much about them other than I bought some a while back, and they ran like wild rabbits a week after they where in the pen.
