Hello Everyone
I just joined this discussion forum. Happy to see an active group here.
I will need to review earlier messages before I make comments.

&gt;is there like a farm i could visit to see?

Hi Mina
did you get any response for your question ?

I have not really visited a rabbit 'farm' in its real sense yet in Kenya,though I have visited several places where people keep rabbits. I initiated 7 rabbit houses
... see http://www.globetree.org...rabbit-net/projects.htm

I have also made a proposal to establish a rabbit farm in Ndekero (near Meru) as a 'social enterprise' with the Nazareth Sisters. This farm would yield 100 rabbits (~100 kg) every month.

...see http://arc.peacecorpsconnect.org/view/653/

&gt;to be very honest with you,I don't trust just any rabbit farmer in Kenya. Been bitten
&gt;once too many times and just getting to know the truth about this industry......
&gt;I would advice anyone who wishes to do it to be very careful and avoid being led
&gt;into another industry of matatus....Instead of believing what anyone tells you,
&gt;just wait for their words to come true.....I know of very many farmers who are
&gt;being sold very bad breeds and never realising those goals written about....
&gt;So tread carefully and good luck...

thank you for sharing this. I note that you are from the USA.

what does 'very bad breeds' mean ?
How do you expect a 'good breed' to perform (compared to a 'bad breed' or the onces you got) ?

prices can vary since many people want to make money. So I have heard of price tags ranging from 500 to 5,000 Ksh for the same thing.

The place that provides a service to the people is the Rabbit Breeding Unit in (El Paso) Ngong. Get it directly from these people (500 Ksh Flemish giant 6 weeks old) and beware of those 'agents' who buy and sell to make quick money from 'transport' services.

Hi all,I am new in this discussion forum. I got interested because my wife has a small stock of rabbits for breeding purposes (different breeds). She specialise in cross breeding to obtain the best breeds as per customer's request.

Hi Everyone

I am happy to inform you that the Ndekero Rabbit project won 1st Prize in Round 4 of the Africa Rural Connect Contest and will be awarded 3,000 US$ as seed money for the project.
http://arc.peacecorpsconnect.org/node/793


I am now looking for potential investors and donors for the project which aims to produce at least 100 rabbits every month and to develop partnership between the local community and the rabbit farm. Access to land will be via the Nazareth Sisters in Meru.


I am also interested to identify other sites where the model for rabbit production can also be implemented.


Please contact me at jacky.foo(at)gmail.com .
I also manage a e-forum on rabbit meat in Africa
http://finance.groups.ya....com/group/rabbit4meat/
which is my main forum for meat rabbit production. Please join me here. This group has many members from Kenya.


The Ndekero Project has discussion messages in
http://arc.peacecorpsconnect.org/view/653 and further discussion will take place in http://finance.groups.ya....com/group/rabbit4meat/
