Another rabbit question!

[Pinkypie]

Hubby hasn't quite put the finishing touches to the hutch, so before he does, do same sex rabbits need their own sleeping quarters or do they huddle up??? (both from same litter)

We have room to make one big sleeping quarter or it is big enough to be separated.

I've always had two rabbits together Pinkypie and they have always slept together usually snuggled up to each other - it's quite sweet.

[Pinkypie]

Thank you for your answer, I was hoping this would be the case as I think it would be nice for them to have a little snuggle. :0)

I hope they are both girlies as two boys could end up fighting. Also have a look at "a hutch is not enough" on youtube or the rabbit welfare website, it'll help give you some guidelines for the hutch.

My rabbits were male and female (gorgeous little things) Parsley and Primrose. I bought them as two girls, but they are hard to sex when young. As soon as I found out one was male, I had him castrated as I wanted them to live togethter and didn't want them to breed. I adored those little rabbits.

"Like it or not rabbits are a good source of nutritious food, one breeding doe will produce about 75 lbs of meat per year."

You mean the babies? That sounds cruel.

Doc pinkypie isn't going to eat her rabbits, she has posted threads before about keeping rabbits and never has she mentioned eating them ! I luv you doc, but enough (lol)

[Wrongn3mber]

Are you telling me that you starve baby rabbits that are 8 weeks old and then eat them?

[DTCwordfan]

Go for feral pigeons and you have squabs every eight weeks, ready to eat........they do need gutting and de-feathering though.

Watch the film again...you'll learn how to pronounce it!
