In this episode of The Rabbitry Center Podcast, we take Stephen R. Covey’s timeless classic The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (first published in 1989, I accidently say 1986 in the podcast intro) and adapt it directly to rabbitry life. Running a rabbitry isn’t just a chores—it’s about mindset, and building healthy relationships with customers.

We’ll walk through 7 practical habits, like staying ahead, defining your vision, prioritizing what matters, creating win-win business practices, listening to your customers, working as a team, and recharging so you don’t burn out.

Whether you’re raising rabbits for meat, breeding stock, or pets, these habits will help you run a smoother, healthier, and more profitable rabbitry.

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it actually takes to sell rabbits—and why it’s not always the dream people think it is. From dealing with flaky buyers to sacrificing your time and privacy for one-off sales, I lay out the challenges that come with selling livestock. But I also share the strategies I’ve developed to make rabbit sales more efficient and meaningful for your business.

More importantly, I talk about why selling only rabbits isn’t economically viable in the long run, and how offering additional products—like feeders, tools, digital resources, and plants—can create a more sustainable income. If you're looking to turn your rabbitry into a real business, this is the honest conversation you need to hear.

👉 Bring a notepad—this episode is full of practical tips to help you save time, protect your space, and build a profitable rabbitry the smart way.
