I've been thinking a bit, occasionally in recent months to raise rabbits for fun and profit! There are plenty of rabbits in pet stores, but these are for the pleasure of children who badger their parents into buying them for them, mainly because they are so cute. Hamsters and guinea pigs, and even in this country infested with rodents, mice are also popular pets in the afternoon. They do a guinea pig and not hot in Peru, but a little fussy for my taste. Give me a rabbit at any time.
Of course, part of the problem is that rabbits are an introduced species and have never appeared on the menu of many restaurants. If they were not already here, does not suggest the introduction of pests little, but seeing that someone beat me to it, why not trade?
Rabbits are high in protein, 20%, in fact, compared with only 17% in chicken and 19% in pork and beef, in more than 22%. What makes the best business is that rabbits are much easier to breed and raise even more than chickens. Chickens often die in large numbers during the winter rainy season, the pigs take a fair amount of space and work and the need for grass that cows can be scarce for the hobby farmer on an estate of small size. Rabbits however, need relatively little space and can be served twice a day and then abandoned to their fate.
If you buy a male and two not, for starters, make sure to give each one its own cage and run. Remember they are burrowing animals that do not leave them with access to land unless the floor of the cage wire and run it. They will dig under a closely and be out in no time! Make sure you have a closed hole, as an area with newspaper torn like a carpet of sun. In a separate box the race or the box is enough.
Remember, when the female comes into season, she becomes restless and agitated, even going to feed. His genitals External enlarge and become inflamed. Get the ball! Do not take the ball to her or she could kill him. Will also eat their young if handled too soon after birth, so leave well alone for a few days! These soft, fluffy creatures can be cruel and deadly with each other, something good that do not grow too big!
Feeding them vegetable matter, table scraps (vegetables only) and even banana peels, melon and bread, keep them happy, but always give plenty of clean water. You can feed them in the morning and evening, a good job for children.
There really is not much more than that, there are plenty of websites that provide detailed advice in raising rabbits. A range will have maybe 3 or 4 litters a year with a maximum of 10 pups per litter. The gestation period of a rabbit is one month less (28 days or less) for a younger range. After two months the pups are weaned and you can generate the range again. Five months after the birth of the rabbits are ready to sell. So after two and one has money, can take two months to over 20 rabbits. If half of them is seven months later, you can have another 200 rabbits, plus then the first two have not had another litter. In seven months then, the traffic (and Buck luck) can make another 200 rabbits in the first round, plus 40 more from the original, in addition to another 200 of the second generation (or is that third), more ….. God, I've lost count!
If the rabbit out in the middle of the dresses, even 500g, then by only killing the turkeys and breeding of the does, you may be selling hundreds of bodies a month. If you opened a restaurant and rabbit stew and other foods sold to get the public to buy meat, you would have a secondary business as well as an outlet for their production, while the market developed a taste by the rabbit.
What do you charge? Until, as they say. If you can get the remains of plants cheaply enough why not go for parity with chicken? If you made $ 2 a rabbit, then the sale of two hundred dollars a month net of $ 400. The principle that your skin is. Not starting a business thirdly, tanning skins or make felt for hats! All the information you need is in the network and stores selling pet rabbits are all large cities. What's stopping you?
