Better than here, at $8 each that gives me under $2 profit a rabbit and that is only if they produce properly.

I will be trying this doe again but I want to get them all bred together in case there are issues, then I can move all the babies into cages together as well without having many problems.

The new does are about 3.5 months old now, so I will be breeding them once this year, at the end of the summer to see how they do before keeping them all winter.

So far i have bin covering costs and eating for free... when i sell rabbits i take the money and buy feed with it... so nothing comeing out of pocket... sold probably 30-40 rabbits now at $10-$15 each... alot of pet buyers actually...

Got a pair of ducks and she hatched out 15 ducklings and is laying eggs again now... eating well this winter :)

That is my plan, sell enough rabbits, chickens, eggs and veggies to eat for free.

I don't count the initial cost setup though, that can be considered into the cost of doing business, ha ha
