Raising Rabbits

I am tired of buying rabbits every month or so, so I have decided to start raising my own. I don't know much about raising them, so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My rabbit pens are 24"x24" with a nesting box on the outside of them that is probably 12"x12". I am buying 2 does and one buck. All are called knotheads. Don't know much about them other than I bought some a while back, and they ran like wild rabbits a week after they where in the pen.

when thay get old enough bread them bouth and 31 to 33 days you will have little ones when you see them pulling hare put some hay in the box and thay will mix this with the hare thay pull and make a bed in the box if the weather truns cool put a light under the box to keep them wram are thay will die if this is the frist time thay have been bearddo not be surprised if thay dont live it just happens but good luck with them .
