While our podcast typically focuses on rabbitry topics and services, this conversation fits right in. Like a rabbitry, a vending machine business is a spare-time operation that can supplement your income if you’re willing to put in the work and run it like a real business.

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Delaney to talk about starting a vending machine side hustle. Brian recently launched his own operation in his spare time and walks us through the startup process, the day-to-day responsibilities, and what it really takes to keep it running.

Running a rabbitry doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, even in a busy year.

In this episode, we break down the most common rabbitry questions we’ve received in 2025, from breeding and housing to day-to-day management challenges that leave many breeders feeling scattered and behind.

But this episode isn’t just about answers, it’s about regaining control.

You’ll learn one simple but powerful mindset tool that helps remove chaos from your operation by focusing on small, intentional improvements that compound over time. This technique works whether you’re running a backyard rabbitry, breeding for meat, or trying to grow a more consistent and profitable setup.

If you’re ready to stop feeling reactive and start building a rabbitry that works with you instead of against you, this episode will help you reset your focus and make this year your most productive one yet.

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest challenges new rabbit raisers face: how early excitement turns into hesitation, and how domestication syndrome leads beginners to treat livestock like pets. We explain why processing day becomes such a mental roadblock—and how to avoid that from day one.

To wrap it up, I share two hunting stories—Juan’s first deer and the late-season 8-point I tagged during muzzleloader. Reminders of why we raise our own food and practice these skills.

Juan's First Deer
Late Season Buck in a Blizzard

1. Build Your Setup First
2. Create a Processing Station Early
3. Map Out a Breeding Schedule
4. Track Everything
5. Set a Clear First Goal
   

1. Use Your Processing Station Often
   Monthly use builds confidence and keeps your program moving.
2. Review Records Weekly
   Seeing progress keeps you motivated and focused.
3. Maintain Equipment
   Sharp knives and solid cages prevent procrastination.
4. Stick to Your Breeding Calendar
   Missed dates slow the whole system, so stay on schedule.
5. Remember Your “Why”
   Food security, self-sufficiency, and a full freezer will keep you committed.
