hey this is Doug aka commander bacon with his way homestead and we've got an exciting day today stay tuned so today we're at ances place and he's going to show us his hammock rabbits the Texas A&M rabbits this is the New Zealand variety and we're gonna pick up some some new breeding stock so it you what say anything about your rabbits y'all come on in we got there we got it two monkeys eating and tape yourself and look around all right I like the hanging and I like they got the nest boxes down in the floor would be pretty cool come on in take a look these are all white art that the Texas A&M rabbits that we have there the composite rabbits and they throw all kinds of colors so these are these look like New Zealand rabbits except they're different over here to the nest box and show I really like the inset yeah it just makes a lot of sense it does so how many how many pages you got you [Music] let me 48 those in here in six bucks six bucks so the buffs are allowed to sit together full book to the backside so these these are the huge rather yeah this is a big friendly to your children yeah they're the difference in the news even in the news even come up the new improved is they been through three years yeah the guy takes the same and when we met with him they have a facility that has no fan know that to speak any their years is what keeps someone to write and he said they produce and Leoben environment during the summer of a hundred up to 112 heat index yeah and we like I said we seen the facility personally and there was no fan they was going home so the years act like giant radiators there's a lot of blood vessels in there and it helps dissipate the heat from the blood which helps keep them cool and they're in their coats or a little their furs a little shorter and it's a little thinner but these guys are friendly they got a great temperament yeah that's and this is the main man of the of the ballers now how old is this he is 14 months Wow yeah and a buddy of mine come up from saralyn Alabama which is his name is Luis he come up we checked every one of the books under a microscope and all of them really good if you're gonna be in this that's one thing that that we did is we borrowed a microscope and we got a navy which is artificial you put it go in there and put it under and he does his business in a cup and he would check under a microscope to see what's going on Wow because he had a buddy that had haven't had a big rabbit treating four or five we booked he had to code because what produces let's see we're we're trouble of some what I think we feed them too much and they get too fat in their knives they don't lay they can stop producing as much so we tried to make sure we limited their feed trying to do that but we're at the point where the ones we have they're getting over and we just need this far game and I think one of our problems is I wanted to give them a break over the summer when it got hot yeah and I think that was a huge mistake cuz you wanna just give them a break from breeding yeah then they went we can't get them to breathe now it's just I think they sat around and got fat and lazy and now everyone he's got babies and they're on a two-week freak cycle in the baby or two weeks we put them back in I said oh we started over over but only one didn't leave my little cat time yeah put her back in there the neighbors eat or that evening Wow so when you breathe do you try to get three you fall off when you're released with these books right here with you for Bob Larson pregnant Wow Wow we breathe each one of the cages are tagged of what both they read - I'm kind of your story and we read back to that same book okay because the preacher the preacher got an angel Uzi Anna it's been a big mental with me and he said familiarity is everything in repeted oh yeah and in fact though is used to that look yeah and your litters of 10 and 11 and erasable yeah not not small neuters plus their raise my right is the proof why would you change yeah you don't wanna mess that up so we go back to the same book and as I said we're free seats in this barn in five minutes Wow it's as quick as you can put them in there Wow yeah that's what we want make it a week met some witty cages right now really like your calls mental Hey and like the Bob Jones down at peak games apiece he's a friend huh he feels he builds his cage we like to slant protocol went through yes and my wife's not very cobble so weak he just worked out further would have them anytime you got metal dividers or they can't see each other that's only if both ceiling each other and everything else we did put them on the boat I think the girls over here saying there was a double thing he was in the cabin she's just phenomena be look what a little room and these all these babies of between next week every for component 14 babies I believe that's amazing I got some fixing Indo who's gonna move in here but out when we went down there I threw them in another ball room I wanted to make sure there was no sickness service yeah right going from 15 and they've been down there now for 30 days happening I'm going we got a cage here they're going and with it being shot this ball completely well this looks like a teleporter that's the California bullet my buddy of mine down in Saraland Alabama brought him up here mr.
