New Litters are growing fast

Posted by Sarah Ouellette on January 19, 2010 at 6:17 PM

Our new litters are growing fast, we lost a couple of litters, and have one case of nestbox eye, (that will be culled)

The others are gaining rapidly and are about 6 weeks old.

Our New Zealand white rabbits are quick gaining, I usually cull at about 8-12 weeks, keeping the best prospects till I see growth and good meat or show quailties. I have a litter of pedigree stock available at this time, call 802-371-9387 or email s.ouellette@comcast.net

New Rabbitry Set-up!!!

Silver Ridge Rabbitry is pleased to anounce that we have changed our set-up, before we were raising out of our garage, not an ideal situation, now we are cooking, we have stacking cages from our manufacturer, in a milk house adapted from my father's cow barn, generations of farmers, now in my family. My new set-up is stacking cages with trays. It is so organized and neat, and I hope to keep it that way, I can not say enough about setting it (the rabbitry) up once and doing it right the first time, I just sold off my used cages, that didn't fit into the set-up, now I have new and wonderful chalenges with my set-up. I can not stress how much you want to think about your set-up (cages feeders watering systems, etc.) As much as you want to find the best stock to begin with. If you begin with great stock and the set-up you can deal with plenty of space, a barn with poop falling, or stacking trays in basement or a garage or shed. Rabbits are a commitment, so start with the best stock and supplies. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in seeing our set-up. 802-371-9387
