Rats, raccoons, and rabbits? Our small-scale homestead keeps growing (in unexpected ways)

Our livestock population continues to expand with the addition of rabbits! Unfortunately this new addition also attracts some unwanted predators... nothing's easy when it comes to homesteading, but that's not why we do it!

Who are we?
We are Slowsteading, exploring what it means to live the good life on our small scale homestead in the Pacific Northwest. Sharing videos from our life focused on chickens, rabbits, DIY building projects and slow living.

.. very silly question - and Im late to the game - but while living in Japan - did you by chance meet up with a fellow You Tuber -Greg (Life Where Im From) - Greg is also from Vancouver - You guys are just SO similar and calming. so wonderful to watch both of your families grow in different environments.
Thankyou for all that you do

As a rabbit breeder I HEAVILY recommend getting properly made wire bottom cages it’s safer for the rabbits and way more sanitary the rabbits aren’t at risk of most small predators like rats and raccoons in wire cages that are elevated hay tends to harbor lots of external parasites so it’s best to not use it as a form of bedding I only use it for a feed supplement once a week as it’s not a dietary necessity and as nesting material for does also rabbits are extremely territorial so definitely don’t leave the doe with the buck as there’s a high chance she will castrate him out of frustration with him being near her I hope all this helps good luck with rabbits they are by far the most sustainable livestock unless you count bees lol

You’re gonna want a dog and a cat for sure. Dog to keep the bigger stuff away like raccoons, and a cat to catch the rats. We domesticated them for a reason lol

I've never eaten rabbit. Someone's been busy there chopping wood!
