A doctor told her to eat rabbit meat for her health. She couldn't find any to buy — so she started farming them herself. That was 24 years ago. Today Thembi Moo — the self-proclaimed Queen of Rabbits — runs a 300+ rabbit operation, a training academy, and a buy-back program helping young South Africans start their own rabbit farms.
In this episode, AGRICDECK sits down with Thembi to break down every part of her rabbit business — the daily management, the value chain, the hard lessons, and how she's building a sustainable rabbit farming movement across South Africa.
What you'll learn:
✅ How Thembi started rabbit farming for health reasons — with zero prior experience
✅ Why she once scaled to 10,000 rabbits — and why she calls it her biggest mistake
✅ The full daily routine for managing 300+ New Zealand White rabbits
✅ How one rabbit produces up to 100 babies per year — and how to control that
✅ The exact feeding schedule: 75g pellets + molasses meal, 3 times daily
✅ Why New Zealand White is the best breed for commercial meat production
✅ How to breed correctly — and why inbreeding destroys your entire herd
✅ The complete value chain: rabbit meat, processed urine, manure, leather goods
✅ What the R20K training package includes — 20 rabbits, cage-making, market access, and mentorship
✅ How the buy-back agreement works — Thembi purchases your production back from you
✅ Why rabbit farming is NOT a get-rich-quick business — and what to realistically expect🌿 Farm: South Africa | Breed: New Zealand White | Herd: 300+ rabbits | Experience: 24 years
