#46 How Growing Rabbit Feed Changes Your Rabbitry & Life- The Truth About Living With a Rabbit Obsessed Person! (Featuring Rachel)

In this episode of The Rabbitry Center Podcast, we dive deep into the newly launched Feed Course and talk about why growing your own rabbit feed can completely transform your rabbitry, property, finances, and lifestyle.

We discuss what we’re currently growing on the homestead including lettuce, carrots, radishes, potatoes, spinach, arugula, clover, wheat, comfrey, willow, and lemon balm — and how these plants can benefit both your rabbits and your wallet.

We also talk about:
 • The health benefits of fresh forage and browse for rabbits
 • How growing feed can reduce long-term rabbitry costs
 • Irrigation systems and making watering easier
 • Building perennial systems like strawberry beds
 • Wildlife challenges from deer, cottontails, and groundhogs (woodchucks)
 • The mental and emotional fulfillment that comes from producing food on your own property
 • 10 important things to consider when building a successful rabbit operation

My wife Rachel also joins the podcast for a really honest and valuable discussion about what it’s like living with someone completely obsessed with rabbits and homesteading. She shares the spouse perspective, the challenges, the funny moments, and some thoughtful insight that I think a lot of rabbit families will relate to.
