In this episode, Bobby is joined by co-host Rusty for a lighthearted and thoughtful conversation about why rabbits are so cute, from their floppy ears and twitchy noses to their wide-eyed expressions. But it’s more than just looks. Bobby and Rusty explore how domestication shaped rabbit traits to work in harmony with humans, and they share a few fascinating quotes from rabbit history and studies that reveal why rabbits might just be here to feed the world.
After the first 15 minutes of laughs and reflection, Bobby takes the reins and delivers a deep dive into managing your rabbitry during the high-pressure months of June and July. You'll learn:
- How to keep improving your rabbitry
- How often to breed does and when in the heat
- Tips for keeping rabbits cool and hydrated
- What to grow in your garden to feed your herd
- How to cut costs without cutting corners
- How to run a sustainable, low-stress rabbitry
This episode blends heart and hands-on wisdom, to keep your rabbitry thriving through summer.
