-8 foot of cages (4 cages, one adult rabbit per cage): $115.00.
-Building to put rabbits in: $1,800.00 (houses 50 rabbits including babies.)
-Rest of the "stuff" that goes with a cage: about $10.00 per cage.
-Food to raise one rabbit to 10 weeks (meat rabbit butchering age): $2.00.
-Time to feed and water 50 rabbits: about 30-45 minutes per day if NOTHING else is needed.
-Time to butcher, clean, skin and package one rabbit: about 15 minutes.
Any other questions?
BTW, Its worth every minute and every dollar! Tons of fun and a barrel of laughs.
