Rabbit cost one and a half. Rabbits-Californians - disease-resistant breed, unpretentious, and belongs to the meat group. Appearance of Californians is very aesthetic. Perhaps this is the most beautiful breed of rabbits I've ever seen. In January, my rabbits gave birth to their first offspring.

They can live in a fence. It is better to settle the males separately, by blocking the shed with fences, since they are aggressive towards each other. In the shed there must be at least one window, so that rabbits do not experience lack of light. 2. If your rabbits live in cages in a barn, raise them from the floor no less than a meter. 3. Clean the cells daily. The floors in them must allow waste to fall onto the pallet. 4. Diversify the diet of rabbits. In addition to hay, regularly give vegetables (carrots, beets). Rabbits can be fed with waste (stalks of apples, potato peelings washed with warm water). 5. Rabbits like pine needles. Green needles for them are a valuable treat. 6. There should always be water in the cells. 7. The rabbits you will be in need of a separate living space. Their cage should consist of a place for walking and a queen cell full of hay.
