The Rabbitry Center Podcast

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!

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.
