- Just for fun I found it interesting to find out how many rabbits it would take to feed my dog rabbit for 1 year, as well as how many breeding does I would need in order to acquire that many.

To whom this may concern she is giving you numbers for a low breeding regimen. You can easily get 200-300 pounds of meat from one buck and three does a year.
All you have to do is space the time between each breeding by about 6 weeks. Meaning breed one doe wait 6 weeks then the next so on and so forth.
This time will get you through the gestation breed and enough time for the first doe to be ready to breed again. If you feel like they need more time then stretch the full cycle out. So that would be 10 weeks between each. Giving each does 70 days of down time.
Now what does that look like you’ll
need four pins for you breeders. And six large pins for your kits. As they grow to the 5-8 week marker you’ll separate the bucks from the does. 2-3 weeks later depending on the rabbit breed they should be 4-5 pounds. 2-3 weeks later the next set so on and so forth. Until your getting 50 pounds a month 5*5=25 25*2=50 50*9=450. In each litter there about 5-6 kits I chose 5 at 8-10 weeks because of my rabbits. That’s 25 pounds per rabbit twice a month. For 9 months because winter breeding is to dangerous. That’s over 400 pounds of meat from 4 rabbits.
So how do you cut that down you get rid of one doe. Still buy four, because there is a high chance one is deaf blind or has breeding issues. Cull that one keep the rest.
Great info thanks! She and you did a great job
Great video 👍 exactly what I wanted to know
Thank you. Perfect information.
Thank you for this! This will help me in the future as I start to raise rabbits to feed my dogs!
Just what i needed
I have found the easiest and most sustainable raw diet for my mastiff is a combination of rabbit and ducks eggs. It actually will meet the standards nutritionally per the NRC.
Please share if there is anything else to share your comment is golden because I plan on solely feeding what I raise and harvest from my (future) homestead to my dogs
@@AS-dz1ww as long as you are paying attention to the micros and macros and ensure they are getting enough calories you will be ok 👌
@@themyrtlewoodshomestead9371 roger that!
@@AS-dz1ww you got this 🤙🏾
Great info thx.
Yes, thanks for doing this video. Very helpful to cure my curiosity. We plan on using meat rabbits in addition to other food, but this is definitely helpful in planning for emergency situations.
Years ago, when we first started our home stead, we fed our 4 small dogs with deer organs. Slapped them on the grill, they loved it. I also butcher 7 deer a year for us and I bag and freeze the scraps. Makes good treats and come in handy at the end of the month when Pickens are slim.
Amen, you have the perfect comment. Breed does matter though the math will vary a little bit because of energy output

Thank you 😊
I want to raise bantam chickens too. Thank you for doing the math!
Does it change anything if you freeze the meat then thaw it out when you’re ready to feed it to your dogs because I have six huskies I’m looking to feed this way
No, freezing won't change anything weight wise. It could damage some of the nutrients, but not enough to fret. I've heard some dogs prefer eating meat that's been frozen first vs fresh. This video is a little outdated. With my new dog (german shepherd), I give her the whole freshly dispatched rabbit (outside of course). This is referred to as the PMR style diet. I weigh the rabbits and try to guess when she's eaten enough for the day before taking it away and saving the rest for the next day. It's so much easier prep wise, and she gets all the nutrients from the rabbit including from the brain, eyes, blood, etc. When they get the whole animal, there is no need for additional supplementation. Hope that helps!
I thank God for you doing the math because I’m incompetent. However my 60lb dog is a malinois and they specifically will need more because of the breeds if I was of course feeding solely rabbits. She is a very high energy output breed and constantly burning tons of calories and nutrients, she isn’t a house dog so this works perfect for a house dog and gives me a ball park estimate but breed DOES matter. But I digress, you’ve helped me out so much more than you can imagine because I have directly been wondering how many rabbits it would take so thank you so much, ever greatful! Cheers!
Glad you found it helpful. My friend does french ring with several of her malinois. They are definitely high energy dogs.
@@falconefamilyfarm9839 that’s so awesome! I plan on training her for the French ring, she’s still a pup and it’s my first mali, so it’ll be a fun challenge and she sure keeps me on my toes!
I have 7 dogs, 6 just turned 2 year, the mother is 2 years old. I'd like to this route but I'm trying to wrap my head around how to provide all the protein and efficiently. I can't spend everyday processing meat. I found this video searching about just feeding the whole live rabbit to them. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Thank you.
Hello, since this video and getting a new dog. We've simplified it by just feeding the whole animal (chicken, rabbit . . . ) which is ultimately easier and healthier because they get everything. My husband does the dispatching as quickly and painlessly as possible. Then I weight the rabbit and give it to the dog outside to eat. If it's a bit large, then I just take it away once my dog has eaten about half of it and serve it the next day. I also only feed once per day which is also a time saver and better for the dog so there's a fasting period. This works for my dog as she's a pickier eater and does best eating one time per day. Though I know some dog's lives revolve around 2 feeding per day. At best she doesn't eat all the intestines or if there's too much fur/feathers. Whatever doesn't get eaten goes to the night critters (foxes, raccoon . . . ) Hope that helps.
So 2 doe rabbit should be able to feed your dog once a week continually ?
why do u skin the rabbit? arent the guts really healthy, not sure about fur?
Depending on how big your litters are and if you have fast growing stock then yes that sounds about right.
@@kravmaga7070 Yes, we feed the carcass, guts, ears, and feet. We toss the intestines as they are full of poop. And then we keep the hides to tan them to use later for crafts or to sell.
@@falconefamilyfarm9839 The intestines would be awesome for Black Soldier Fly larvae 😊
@@samauthor342 you are thinking with the right head!
Me having a 350lb dog👁👄👁
I dont have a 350lb dog but the combination of all my dog's weight is 350🤣
Lol damn I got 5 and that's only, 120 lbs. Lol
Aye dog that weighs 100 pounds only eat 2 pounds of raw food a day I think you over feeding you dog
Yes, you are correct. But I'm calculating how many doe rabbits you need to breed to make food for your dog each year. Not how many pounds to feed in one day. I guess I should have added that into the video but after processing and cleaning a 5 pound rabbit and getting rid of the inedible parts, it leaves my dog who is 60 lbs with 4 meals or 2 days worth of food, each daily portion weighs about 1.25 lbs for him to eat each day.
@@falconefamilyfarm9839 why not use all the animal minus Blatter n fur ....grind up all the animal n even save the skin for the dogs as well
@@johngutierrez3304 That's basically what we do. We throw away the head, bladder and intestines (which are generally full of poop). We could be better at using the heads too, it's just not a fun part to process. We tan the hides, and then we save the feet and ears as treats. We definitely hate to see any of it go to waste.
I boil bleach heads any. My 4 year old and I paint them. Even bleached turtle shells. He got glued turkey feather and acorns to them. He gave a few out as gifts.
@@TurkeyFarmerGirl what the fuck does that mean
