I was pleased to become a member of ARBA and I just recieved "domestic rabbits" magazine. I was pleased to find a great deal of information in it. We have New Zealand white rabbits, that we purchaced from a top breeder in New England, so I am interested in showing, I am thinking I will breed for next spring, we are all ready raising great NZW meat rabbits, that have, AND KEEP large litters and are big, but I belive that showing would be fun.
I am trying to figure out how I am going to breed in winter, we are a small rabbitry raising the most high quality New Zealands for meat, (the stock came from a meat rabbit breeding program at a college, we have selected and line bred them, forward.) in our garage at this point in time, we have shed, ready to put the rabbits in but it will be very small and I still can't figure out how to do the watering, as the shed has no water, I am planning on carrying from the house, the shed has heat, so that will be a plus.
We are not exactly set up for it, it is raising rabbits in the city almost. I envy all of you out there with large barns and space, but I realize that has its drawbacks as well.
