Type of wood used in Rabbit hutches?

What type of wood is used in rabbit hutches that are used outside?

I don't think it matters, mine is made out of pine.
Just looked at rabbit book and beech-wood is best apparently because it is non-absorbant.

Raising rabbits for for eating? What kind?

5 Comments »

Heelo Friend-
My parents were from Italy and I grew up eating rabbit.. All kinds of great Italian dishes my Mom would cook. Well, my Dad raised a certain rabbit out in the backyard and he has since passed away. I never asked him what kind it was. Anybody know?

I have eaten wild rabbit a few times and buy it at Wholey's Fish Market in Pittsburgh but do not know what breed it is.
I have a bag of rabbit tenderloin fillets in my freezer but it is not specific about what type of rabbit.

No Comments »

A training session of four videos presented to other Peace Corps volunteers in Saint Lucia to start Rabbit Projects in their villages.

The four videos cover:
1. Overview of rabbit raising.
2. Feeding
3. Rabbit Health
4. Breeding

You can find other videos on hutch design at http://www.youtube.com/user/bigolcountry and my blog on rabbit raising and my Peace Corps experience at http://bigcountryleo.blogspot.com/.

The rabbit project is a great project to boost a disadvantage families income or provide more food for the table, a few rabbit can be maintained with vegetable scraps and local vegetation, the biggest expense is rabbit feed which must be fed rabbits a minimum of every other day. A natural rabbit feed recipe can be found on my blog to reduce costs to minimal levels.

It also includes vital information on supplying proper nutrition (including when, what, and how much to feed your pet); performing daily, weekly, and monthly health care checks; recognizing and treating common health problems; and stocking a rabbit first-aid kit. by Nancy Searle 32 pages; 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″; Paperback.
