CULL for temperament issues. 🐇

I had a couple people ask why I culled most of my rabbits that has temperament issues. This post is going to explain that.

HM Tokyo was the most balanced Pure Nz Black that I had ever produced. She was one of the product of my (ImportxImport) breeding, both nice rabbits that when paired together, produce beautiful kits. At a young age napansin ko na si Tokyo, was a bit temperamental. I chalked it up to teenage hormones. Afterall, does can be a little bit feisty, especially pag naitabi ng cages sa mga Bucks for an extended period of time. And she was.

The attitude never went away. In fact, it worsened. This baffled me, as neither of his parents were this way. It got the the point where feeding time became stressful and she was constantly trying to bite me, and everyone else for no reason whatsoever.

Marami akong sinubukan na remedy at practices. I figured maybe she needed more exercise, so I let her out in the exercise pen. Every time kukunin ko na siya, she charged at me. When placed in a carrier, she would immediately jump to attack once it opened. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Breeding was incredibly stressful. She was aggressive towards my Bucks and even tore Namra’s ear tip. That day I decided enough was enough, and I terminally culled her. I have no regrets, and my herd is at peace again.

Tokyo was a very aggressive rabbit that lived up to her name, and this temperament is not something I wish to carry forward in my lines. Temperament is something I will cull just as heavily as body from now on.

Breed to Improve 💯

I’ve been receiving a lot of messages lately asking why “my prices are so high”, with people saying “Akala ko mga ₱500 - ₱1k lang”, so I wanted to take a moment to address it. 🐇

I recently saw a rabbit at a pet store, a mixed breed with no real background, bright red eyes (not the ruby kind, but clearly sick), and it was walking around in its own urine and f***s, with just paper bedding. Wala ring alam ang staff kung anong breed, ilang taon na, o saan galing. Maraming murang rabbits ang nasa ganitong kondisyon. And, more often than not, I get messages from people who bought one of those cheap rabbits, only for it to pass away, leaving their child heartbroken and asking if I have a replacement.

So here’s the thing, if you’re looking for a low-cost rabbit, we’re probably not the right fit for you. It’s also important to note that messaging a breeder and asking them to lower their prices is rude. Hindi ka naman pumapasok sa SM para itanong sakanila to lower their prices, right?

We spend a lot of time and money on our rabbits. From the moment they’re born, sinasanay na namin sila sa tao, bata, iba pang hayop, at household noises para maging well-adjusted sa future owners nila. We provide high-quality food (₱1600+ per bag na ilang araw lang nauubos), vitamins, deworming, enrichment etc.

Raising rabbits is expensive, and it takes a lot of hard work. We don’t cut corners, and we ask for a fair price for the care and quality we provide. So please, huwag baratin ang breeders.

And this isn’t just for rabbit breeders, It applies to everyone who runs a business. Whether you’re a farmer, breeder, artist, craftsman, or small business owner, we all invest time, effort, and money into what we do. So please, respect the price and the work behind it. 🫶🏻

Being a breeder is not just my profession it’s the path of my heart. ✨

Out of all the roles I play in life, one of the dearest and closest to my heart is being a breeder. It is not just a job, it is a calling, a way of life, an immeasurable joy, and a profound responsibility.

When I hold the kits in my hands, when I see their first steps and their curious eyes. Every new life is a miracle that I have the privilege of guiding into this world.

This journey would not be the same without my incredible family and friends, who dedicate themselves with love and devotion to every single rabbits I have. Every sleepless night, every moment spent ensuring their well-being, is rewarded a thousand times over when I see them grow, when they become true representatives of their breed, when they find loving homes.

The herd is a place from which I leave feeling as if I have wings. Filled with love, hope, dreams, and inspiration to keep moving forward. It is something truly magical, something heavenly. ❤️

I am a breeder. And I am proud of it. 🐇✨

Update: If you have nothing nice to say, keep scrolling. If you think you know better than me, you might…but there’s no reason to be rude or uncivil. I’m sharing an experience with you. Is it possible ba na kainin ng rabbits ang kanilang anak? Yes, they can. Have I ever had it happen? Yes, one Dam ate her babies. It was her first delivery and No, I had not even seen them yet, much less touch them.

Hindi po totoo na kapag hinawakan niyo ang kits sa early days ay kakainin ito ng Dam. If you have rabbits that are eating there babies after you have touched them, you must have the smell of a predator on you, they consider you yourself a predator, or maaari kinain nila kasi they know the kit is the weakest in the litter.

I am not an inexperienced or uneducated person. I know what I am doing. Please stop telling me “Don’t touch them”. I mean that sincerely. Thank you.

Astrid had her first litter. She did a great job cleaning up and covering her babies to keep them safe and warm. All 8 little wiggles have nice, fat bellies.

One thing that makes us stand out at Hidden Mountain is that we don’t just TALK and post stuff to impress you or lead you to believe anything other than we own what we advertise, and we breed to perfect. All of our photos are photos of our breeding stock. We will never sell something that we do not physically have in possession. False promises, false advertisement…. It’s not us.

Here are some photos of our Hycole x Nz White breeders. 🐇

LINEBREEDING

Technically speaking in terms of rabbit breeding, what we call linebreeding is also inbreeding. Linebreeding in general terms is to breed a more distant relation. Where as it's considered inbreeding to breed closely related animals together and that includes Sire to Daughter, Dam to son and as well as siblings.

(Myth vs Fact)
Hindi po totoo na if you breed siblings its worse than breeding back to a parent. Or breeding son to mother ay mas malala than breeding daughter to father or vice versa. Hindi rin po totoo na inbreeding is BAD. Siblings are any rabbit connected by one parent or both whether in the same litter or not. Full siblings share about 50% of their DNA with one another. Could be a little less or a little more but average is about half. However a kit is guaranteed to share a minimum of 50% of it's DNA with each parent. So in terms of sibling vs parent linebreeding, one is not really worse than the other. You just need to decide which genes you want to strengthen and which ones you need to weaken and remove from your lines.

As I've stated many times in the past a good rule of thumb is breed the best to the best regardless of relationship.

Another aspect I want to speak about are recessive genes and traits. Linebreeding doesn't CAUSE bad genes or traits nor does it CAUSE good ones. These genes are already there but lying in wait in the background, they are recessive. It is true that linebreeding can bring those recessives out in the open though. Which isn't always a bad thing. This gives you a more clear understanding of your lines, making it so you're more able to breed the bad out and reinforce the good.

This is all part of being a breeder. You shouldn't be breeding animals without wanting to IMPROVE them. That all being said, I personally do not recommend linebreeding to beginners. But if you're going to use linebreeding as a tool understand that it will be necessary to cull. And sometimes it won't be just petting out, sometimes you may need to terminally cull. In any breeding this may happen though. Before getting started this should be something you consider. I know not everyone is comfortable with this which is why I needed to point it out. We go out of our way to make sure all lives have meaning. BREED WITH PURPOSE!💯

If you are looking for a multipurpose compact animal to add to your homestead rabbits should be at the top of your list.

- Rabbits are a great source of lean meat for humans and canines.
- Rabbits have very fast 30 day gestation periods and you can turn a rabbit around in as little as 12 weeks.
- Rabbits can help produce cold fertilizer for you in 2 days instead of in a year like other p**p you have to let age.
- Rabbits can make great pets and can live up to 9 years in a pet like environment.

If you are wanting to explore rabbits we have an amazing selection of meat rabbits available to get you started. Our rabbits are raised outdoors year round.

We have a ready to breed pair of Transylvania Giants, and we have some lil Pure Cals and Pure Nz Whites. We have pure-bred broken red New Zealands, black New Zealands, some Hycoles, and some Hycoles-New Zealand crosses.

It’s been a long time since we posted 🤷🏻‍♂️

We took a huge step back from breeding for the last few months but the last 20ish bunnies in the herd are living their best life just chilling.

Hibernating for now but planning for some Cals litter this Feb.🤞🏼

Our Pure Nz Red kits are 3 weeks old now. Looking forward to putting them onto the scale this weekend to see how they're growing.

If you raise meat rabbits, how often do you weigh your kits?

I like to do it around 6, 8, and 12 weeks. ⚖

“OMG, nakita mo na ba ang presyo ng karne ngayon?” Many people are saying this. Maybe you too. And it’s causing people to consider growing their own meat. Kapag ikaw mismo ang nagpalaki/nag-alaga alam mo na mas fresh ito at walang preservatives ang kakainin mo.

Unang naiisip ng karamihan ay ang pag-aalaga ng Manok. Oo, mabilis lumaki ang mga 45 days or Broiler Chicken, pero napaka matrabaho at maamoy dahil panay p**p sila. Na-consider mo na ba ang rabbit? Maybe not. Madalas kasi, iniisip natin ang rabbit ay for pet only. Ang rabbits po ay may dalawang klase may Fancy Type (Small Breeds) and Commercial Breed Type (Meat Breeds). If you guys noticed my last post, the comments got pretty heated. Many people were arguing about whether rabbits meant for meat or just pets. Many don’t think of them as meat, but for families looking to grow their own food, they are a great source.

Let’s talk about the PROS and CON. That’s right, I said CON, since I can only think of one.

Pro #1: Very sustainable and rabbits have faster reproduction than chickens. Tuloy-tuloy ang supply ng karne.

Pro #2: A lot of Meat. Rabbits can be bred every 6 weeks as long they are in good condition. Imagine 7 times a year, na may average na 4-10 kits per litter. Pwede kang makakuha ng 210 pounds of meat every year in one doe.

Pro #3: Mabilis i-process. Once sanay ka na, more or less 10 minutes lang ang kailangan para mag-process ng isang rabbit.

Pro #4: Very versatile. You can use rabbit meat in any dish that you’d use in chicken.

Pro #5: Mas efficient alagaan. Rabbit ang may pinaka-mababang feed conversion ratio o FCR sa lahat ng livestock, the lower the number the better.

Pro #6: Kahit forages lang mabubuhay na (napier grass, banana leaves, hay etc) pero syempre need natin bigyan parin ng commercial pellets para maprovide yung tamang nutrition na kailangan nila.

Pro #7: Doesn’t require much space. Kahit sa garahe, shed, o gilid ng bahay, pwedeng pwede.

You probably guessed the CON. Yep, they’re rabbits. They’re cute and fluffy. And if you’re going to eat them, you need to dispatch them. It’s psychologically difficult or even impossible for many people. But to eat meat, something has to die.

Raising rabbits for meat isn’t for everyone. But high prices are here to stay. It’s either accept the high prices or eat less meat. Kung nagtitipid ka and you want to raise your own food might consider rabbit meat. 🐇

How do you get basal bucks/does to breed? 🐇

This is probably the most common na tanong I always get every time may gusto mag venture into rabbit farming.

Unang una, we put them with a rabbit that knows what they are doing. Ang virgin buck namin goes with an experienced doe FIRST.
After niya matutunan how to breed, he can go with the virgin doe na. If you put two rabbits together na BASAL may chance na it can be harder to get them to breed.

Second option is, Ilagay ang virgin buck with a doe na READY to breed. It's a common misconception ng marami na ang rabbits can breed any day. Rabbits have a cycle where their hormones go up and down. They don't have a heat, but they do cycle. Pakitignan ang ge***al ng Does niyo. If they are dark pink/red (to the point where they look almost purple), the doe is ready to breed. If the ge***als are pale pink, she won't be receptive to breeding.

Third option, pinagpapalit namin sila ng cages. Putting the buck in a does cage can get his hormones goes up. To do this, just swap the buck and doe. He spends the night in her cage. She spends the night in his and then breed them early in the morning para medyo malamig ang paligid.

That's it. 3 simple things to help our newbies/aspiring breeders learn to breed.
If walang magwork na way sa tatlong binigay ko, we tie the does tail up out of the way to give him better access. Some does just don't instinctively know to lift their tail. Moving it can help. I do have a video showing this process just give us a bump in the message.

REMEMBER: Your rabbits have to be at sexual maturity to breed. Some meat rabbits will reach this at 4.5 months. Most will reach it by 6 months.

Bigger rabbits, like flemish giants, will take much longer to reach maturity. Some can take over a year to reach maturity. This is why we never recommend them as a meat rabbit, even though some people raise them for meat.

As the year ends, I would like to first of all thank all the clients that have supported Hidden Mountain throughout the years.

Thank you to my partners, friends and co-hobbyists it has been a roller coaster this year. With the move, uncertainty, changes, we all still stayed strong together. We will continue to keep growing. More growth, more connections and more products are coming. From “Tumal, quit na ba tayo?” to the “Sold out na wala na tayo maibenta” keeps me going. 💪

Thank you to all of you again. God bless us all. What an amazing year of growth. 🤍

Cheers to 2025! 🌟

Rabbit Farming 🐇
Rabbit Farming 🐇

Ang Rabbit Farming ay never ending learning. 🐇 Huwag kayo matakot sumubok. Huwag tayong maniwala sa learn as you go, dapat improve as you go. Okay lang na kapos sa budget huwag lang sa knowledge. Take the risk, huwag tayong matatakot. Yung practices mo sa herd maaaring magwork sa iyo sa iba hindi. Ibang management nila na nagwork to them pwedeng sa iyo hindi. Hanapan lang yan at kapaan. Kung saan ka hiyang doon ka. Kaya nga lang alam mo dapat ano ang tama sa mali. Iwasan yung pag-iispread ng false information. Domino effect yan sa industry. Madali lang ang mag-alaga huwag natin gawing komplikado.😉 #hiddenmountaincares #hoppyplace #purenz #quality #purecali #meatrabbits

Don't Forget!💁🏻‍♂️ Don't keep nasty rabbits or any with recessive genetic flaws. 😉 ⚫ Poor dams and sires pass those traits on ⚫ Poor or sick animals pass the problems on Ask yourself when you keep a rabbits 'is this better than what I have?' If it's not, then cull it. Breed hard, cull hard. Keep the best, eat the rest. You don't improve by buying winners, you make them!😉 #HiddenMountainCares #nutribunnies #NZ #quality #nzreds

Pure Nz Red ❤️
Pure Nz Red ❤️

New Zealand Red rabbit originates from the United States. First selected in 1910 in California, these showy rabbits were meant to be a commercial breed and were bred for their fur and meat. Thankfully, this is not the case anymore: these stunning red rabbits are now treasured as pets. The exact combination of breeds that were used to create New Zealand Red rabbit is unknown, but some experts think the now extinct Golden Fawn breed is the key to the breed’s genesis. The sources claim that Golden Fawns ( Flemish Giant and Belgian Hare hybrids) were bred with Belgian Hares to achieve the spectacular ginger fur. The British Rabbit Society recognizes The New Zealand Red rabbit as a separate breed, while ARBA perceives it as a color variant of the New Zealand Rabbit breed. Best known for their vivid ginger coat and great personality. #hiddenmountaincares #nzred #hoppyplace #nz #quality
