For those of you who breed rabbits for meat or rats for your reptiles, how much does it cost per month?

We have 8 Does 2 bucks average of 20 feeders 30.00-45.00 a month in feed it's the cages nest boxes and waters that cost

I don't breed animals for food (except insects), so I can't give you a 100% accurate answer.

This is kind of like asking how long a piece of string is. I mean... some people have whole sheds with boxes stacked with rodents of all kinds. (not that a rabbit is strictly speaking a rodent, but anyway) Will you be breeding on that scale? To get started, how many boxes will you use? And infections... well... they usually spread quite quickly, and the sendai virus seems to have popped it's head up again recently, which definitely isn't good news. (the virus, like any other virus, is incurable, and affects the immune system so the animals are prone to other infections)

Also, I would imagine that doing this will be very emotionally draining. It's one thing feeding an already dead animal to a snake, it's another killing an animal and watching it die. Insects are surprisingly hard, and the fact that rabbits and rats are popular pets which you may have seen getting cuddles a few hours before you kill them would probably make it more difficult.

It's good to know that if you are going to breed them, you're talking about free range, though. Although rats and rabbits do breed quite quickly, so you will have to be careful that the once large enclosure doesn't become out of date.

Tbh I have no idea on this one!
