QuestionI live in Oregon and am tired of the rising cost of meat in the stores, not to mention the hormones and other things that are put into our meat. So I have decided to raise my own. I live in the subs of Portland but have a .25ac. property with full basement. What type of rabbits is best for my needs and can you recommend a breeder for me to purchase from? Thank you very much for taking the time to answer all of our questions. Sabrina, St. John's, Oregon
Answerhi sabrina -orry i live in the uk and dont know oregon.
keeping rabbits inside a basement will be difficult -you need plenty of does to produce young and a stud buck. you will have to get rid of all their dirt weekly and the smell will be overpowering food will be dear and you need a lot of cages .
in the uk one commercial venture has up to 500 rabbits and the turn over of rabbits is very high but it barely makes a profit.
