Wow Zass, that's a fantastic percentage! Thanks for all the good education on this thread. I too have wondered about doing ground pen rabbits. Have only found a few references to a French style of keeping angora rabbits in stalls on straw. Most of what I know of animal husbandry comes from...

Hi again! I've done a lot of reading here and elsewhere, trying to get my head around the whole snuffles thing. What I think I understand so far is that sneezing can be caused by a handful of things. Pasteurella, bordatella, pneumonia, allergies, hay up the nose.. :roll: Some people cull at...
