Not for me.

LOL<br /><br />BUT - she would allow my 4-yr-old daughter to snatch one of the kits from the nest after they were about a week old. When she was ready for Jen to bring her back - I'd hear Huzzie barking out in her hutch. I know then - and sure enough - Jen would be hiding on the couch with the kit - watching cartoons. LOL<br /><br />I wouldn't let her rear more than 6 kits every litter. I bred her no more than twice a year.<br /><br />Cleaning cages of hay/manure and throwing it directly into the right spot turned sand into soil! My gardening looked like it had been reared by a Pro!<br /><br />A good mama makes good-natured babies. Calm demeanor makes for good meat. Just make sure more than one are butchered at a time - so you lose track of who is who when they go into the freezer.<br /><br />The intentions are not able to run from the heart. The rabbits will steal your heart! But it's worth it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121820035844661657noreply@blogger.com
