I used to raise rabbits on a small scale back in the day. I had my regular customers and had a few for my own table. I never got good at using the furs though I had big plans. LOL We have 1 rabbit now. His name is Apple and he is a pet who stays in the house. We have sunk sooo low. LOL Actually, come Spring I want to get a few does and use Apple as my buck. He is a nice size. I'd like to get a few Flemish Giant does but I'm thinking my cages would have to be lots bigger. Any thoughts on the pros and cons of the giants? Like to have all the info I can get before I actually make a purchase. I also want to get some heavy layers in the Spring. I have 4 bantam hens right now but only 2 are laying. I have 2 MacCrea Roundhead game hens. Sadly I lost my rooster the Monday before Christmas. I cried like a baby. I really loved that rooster and he was a beauty. A high dollar roo that I had big plans for in the show ring. I have to replace him now and that will not be easy.
