Cherry Pie RI3R3 kindled this morning with four fat babies, and she’s doting on them beautifully. They’re sired by the Buck from Bill Theising , M1 —colors already look excellent, so I’ve got high hopes for these as juniors this spring.

Feed isn’t free. Time isn’t free. Infrastructure definitely isn’t free. So if you’re raising rabbits—especially beyond a couple pets—there has to be a system that keeps the lights on. Here’s what we do on our end to offset feed costs: We bag and sell manure for gardens. We sell meat for the table. We utilize hides. Extra parts from butcher go into the pet food or oddities market. I also learned tanning and wet taxidermy specifically so more of the animal’s value stays on the farm instead of being wasted. That wasn’t a hobby choice—it was a survival choice. Now I’m curious how you handle it. Do you: Sell meat, manure, or breeding stock? Do fiber, hides, or by-products? Run education, workshops, or memberships? Barter, trade, or stack multiple small revenue streams? There’s no single “right” answer—but pretending rabbits cost nothing is how people burn out fast. Drop what’s working for you below. Real numbers, real systems, real lessons learned.

I wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who’s already here. This community is still small, but it’s exactly the kind of space I hoped to build — curious, thoughtful, and genuinely interested in learning how rabbits actually work. I just posted a short video explaining why I’m doing these courses, what I’m covering right now in the rabbit nutrition course, and why education is such a big deal to me. If you’ve ever felt like rabbit advice online contradicts itself or never explains the why, this is where that starts to get fixed. Right now the focus is nutrition — a much deeper dive than most people ever see — and the course is available at introductory pricing while I’m actively building it. I also talk a bit about the VIP tier, which gives full access to courses, lives, and one-on-one support as things roll out. And just to tease what’s coming next 👀 This spring I’ll be releasing the genetics course along with my genetics book, where we’ll dig into breed history, color genetics, and how these lines actually came to be. Give the video a watch — I’m really excited about what we’re building here, and I’m glad you’re part of it. https://youtu.be/1N03ByKlRzg?si=BajmBp4er-6_ZkVE
