How many rabbits can be in a meat pen?

There's no single answer to how many rabbits can be in a meat pen. The number depends on several factors:

* Pen Size: Larger pens can accommodate more rabbits.

* Rabbit Breed: Some breeds are larger than others, so you'll need to adjust the density accordingly.

* Age and Weight: Young rabbits need more space than adults. Heavier rabbits need more space than smaller ones.

* Ventilation and Temperature: Good ventilation is essential for rabbit health. Overcrowding can lead to heat stress and disease.

* Feeding and Water Access: Ensure sufficient space for food and water sources.

It's best to follow these guidelines:

* Space per rabbit: Aim for a minimum of 1.5 square feet per adult rabbit, and even more for growing rabbits or larger breeds.

* Density: Overcrowding can lead to stress, disease, and reduced growth rates.

* Local Regulations: Check for any specific regulations in your area.

Remember: It's always better to err on the side of caution and provide more space. This will lead to healthier, happier rabbits and a better quality of life for them.
