    Send us Fan Mail

    What’s the one chore you keep putting off? For me, it was scrubbing the hutch and chicken coop. I share why I hired help, what I handed off first, and how I budget for it in slow months.

    I also cover getting the rabbitry ready for a Michigan winter, how deer food plots got me growing rabbit feed, and two encounters with 10-point bucks that took unexpected turns.

  • #50 5 Best Meat Rabbit Breeds + Getting Ready for Winter | Rabbitry, Bees & Deer Season
    Sep 28 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Fall is here at The Rabbitry Center, and there’s a lot going on! In this episode, we break down some of the best meat rabbit breeds—including New Zealands, Flemish Giants, Florida Whites and several others—and talk about what makes a great production rabbit. I’m also sharing some exciting news: after a little over 90 days of rebuilding, The Rabbitry Center is officially monetized again! We’ll head out to the bee yard to discuss fall feeding, Varroa mites and preparing nine hives for a Michigan winter, then switch gears to deer season with winter wheat food plots, our finished tower blind and ScentLok—fact or hype? Plus, meet our new puppy Olive and hear what completely changed our approach to potty training. It’s a full fall update from The Rabbitry Center!

  • #49 How I Organize Reservations & Sell Rabbit Litters
    Aug 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I explain how I organize rabbit reservations, keep track of customers, and sell my litters without letting people or rabbits fall through the cracks.

    As your rabbitry grows, having a simple system becomes extremely important. I share how I keep track of upcoming litters, available rabbits, customer reservations, pickup dates, balances owed, and the people waiting for rabbits.

    Then we head outside the rabbitry and talk about some of the other things happening around the Property.

    I share our recent honey harvest and the unfortunate experience of getting stung right in the face! We also talk a little about food plots as deer season gets closer and what we’re doing to prepare for fall.

    Finally, I give an update on our elevated tower blind build and how that project is coming together.

    Rabbits, honey bees, food plots, hunting projects, and building a productive Property—that’s what The Rabbitry Center is all about.

    Thanks for listening!

  • #48 Building a Better Rabbitry: Choosing Which Rabbits Stay and Which Go
    Jul 28 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of The Rabbitry Center Podcast, I share what's been happening around our rabbitry this summer and discuss one of the most important decisions every rabbit breeder has to make, which rabbits stay in the breeding program and when it's time to replace a breeder. I also cover summer rabbit management, provide an update from the bee yard as we prepare to harvest honey, and talk about getting ready for deer season with a new tower blind. Finally, I'm looking for future podcast guests, including colony rabbit raisers and ARBA show breeders who would like to share their experience with the rabbit community.

  • #46 How Growing Rabbit Feed Changes Your Rabbitry & Life- The Truth About Living With a Rabbit Obsessed Person! (Featuring Rachel)
    May 19 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    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.

    Keeping Baby Rabbits Alive: Birth to 6 Weeks Survival Guide 🐇

    We also touch on my newest video covering how to keep baby rabbits safe from birth through 6 weeks old and some of the most important mistakes breeders should avoid.

    If you’ve ever wanted to build a more self-sufficient rabbitry, grow more of your own feed, lower costs, and create a lifestyle that feels more rewarding and connected to the land, this episode is for you.

  • #45 Raising TAMUK Rabbits in the Texas Heat with Jordan | Rebel Food Systems
    Apr 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of The Rabbitry Center Podcast, I sit down with Jordan from Rebel Food Systems to talk all things TAMUK rabbits—and what it really looks like raising them in the Texas heat.

    TAMUK rabbits were developed for performance in tough climates, but how do they actually hold up in real-world conditions? Jordan shares her firsthand experience raising these rabbits in high temperatures, including what’s worked, what hasn’t, and where they truly stand out.

    We get into breeding strategies, what to expect from TAMUK litters, and how they compare to other meat rabbit breeds when it comes to growth, efficiency, and overall hardiness. If you’re trying to build a consistent meat supply or improve your rabbitry system, this conversation is packed with practical insight.

    If you’ve been curious about TAMUK rabbits—or you’re raising rabbits in a hotter climate—this episode will give you a real-world perspective you can actually use.

    Thanks again to Jordan for taking the time to come on and talk rabbits.
