@ Njung'e,

Thanks for the info. I am amazed that the demand is that high. Exactly where do they sell the rabbits. Then,what is the initial investments... special cages,etc.

I am also interested in the breeds. Are there breeds that have higher demands than others.

For the feeds,is there special feeds for them. I used to rear them when i was a small boy and i can tell you those tiny things really feed. I live in a 1/4 acre plot and i doubt whether i can grow enough food for commercial rearing.

Jalofg,

They are selling to a supermarket in up-market Nairobi (No names for now).Rabbit cages require little investment and should be of the following minimum measurements

Buck (mundurume)- 70 X 60 X 60 cms

Doe (Nyakinyua)- 100 X 60 X 60.

Include a feeding trough,water trough (Water bottle if you want you rabbits to look sophisticated -:) ) and a kindling box (Mataneti).

Food;...Pellets,kales,carrots,cabs,napier grass,green pasture and uuuuhhh.!!!...Mukimo..!!.I mean left overs..!!.A rabbit will consume no more than 150 grams of food and a litre of water in a day.

Breeds:...Best in body weight is the giant Flemish.Can weigh 6.5 Kg live.Best for breeding is Chinchilla.It's on heat 365 days a year and 366 days in a leap year....!!Over the counter price is 200 bob a Kg and 70 bob for the skin....$$$$$$$$$$$$.......Sorry.i got carried away in dollars.

Breeders:.........One Buck,three does...........6K (that set can multiply into a poulation of 328 rabbits inside one year)

That's 5 summits....-:).....Ingine??

do you know of anyone selling them breeders? Intrested in two bucks and 6 does right now. I am sure you have contacts of the guys selling. You can email them to me at emasaa80 at yahoo. .....Only flemish buck though the rest can be mixtures but only interested in flemish bucks.

Njunge,give me the contacts and I'll be there over the weekend. Just tell me how much the cost and at what age they are.....The does preferably served.....My experience is that I don't trust anyone in this business so they seem to be a bit honest?... Just send me the email. Some details I would like to keep private

@Alma,

I had the same concerns but i can assure you the project lead is not a farmer herself and she is handling the entire thing proffessionally.i have just talked to her on phone and she says the available breeders are the NZ and California white (700 bob each).If you are for the Flemish giant (1500 bob each),you would have to wait for a month.BTW,she is also coming up with a booklet on rabbit rearing in Kenya.
