  4. You can’t talk about rabbits in Nigeria without mentioning the dominating breed we call Hyla. They are breeders best friends because of their growth rate, size & price.
    Hyla max, hyla ng & hyla colored can weigh as much as 5kg at full maturity. Prices range from 5k – 30k based on many different factors like, the size of the farm & purpose of breeding.
    Quality/Quantity.
    I have a rabbitry in Lagos mainly for pet rabbits & breeding stock, so I DON’T have 100s of Rabbits which ALLOWS me to give closer care & attention to their well being.
    At the end of the day the quality of care & time devoted to them will determine price.
    A large farm on the other hand will sell a rabbit I sold for 10k for 5k because they are doing bulk, which comes with some down sides of lesser care & attention to each rabbit, lesser & rationed feeding (to max profit), high risk & potential of disease outbreak etc.
    A big farm will come to buy my own superior quality hyla ng buck (male) weighing 3.2kg at 6 months with full features & pedigree for 27k & use him to breed multiple of their does (females). If they sell 5 weaners (babies) at 6k each, they’ve made their money back even with their inferior female rabbits

    So I say this to tell you that rabbits are not cheap neither are they expensive. A buyer must know what they want. The purpose, the breed, the source, the quality, are some factors that’ll determine prices.
