Raising rabbits as a hobby, earn extra cash, or as a commercial business takes more effort into knowing each of your rabbits individually. If you own a rabbit as a pet, you get to know them as a friend and companion. A rabbit that is kept as a breeder has to be known to you in the perspective of how many kits they can produce. Raising rabbits can differ from being a small scale production or advance into hundreds of producers.
KEEPING RECORDS
The key to understanding your rabbit and
its capibilities as a breeder is to keep records; breeding records (doe and
buck), pedigrees, number of kits produced, and characteristics of the kits ( ie.
show quality, color, any mis-marked, etc.) Finding out how well each doe does
and which buck helped can save you a lot of headaches down the
road.
