In this episode, Bobby is joined by co-host Rusty for a lighthearted and thoughtful conversation about why rabbits are so cute, from their floppy ears and twitchy noses to their wide-eyed expressions. But it’s more than just looks. Bobby and Rusty explore how domestication shaped rabbit traits to work in harmony with humans, and they share a few fascinating quotes from rabbit history and studies that reveal why rabbits might just be here to feed the world.

After the first 15 minutes of laughs and reflection, Bobby takes the reins and delivers a deep dive into managing your rabbitry during the high-pressure months of June and July. You'll learn:

• How to keep improving your rabbitry
• How often to breed does and when in the heat
• Tips for keeping rabbits cool and hydrated
• What to grow in your garden to feed your herd
• How to cut costs without cutting corners
• How to run a sustainable, low-stress rabbitry

This episode blends heart and hands-on wisdom, to keep your rabbitry thriving through summer.

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.
