My wife just pointed out that I gained 100lbs in my last comment :) I'm 265 not 365. Also just wanted to post an update for anyone that was interested. I'm still not seeing ay signs of larval growth yet. So I"m keeping an eye on it.

The thought of this creeps me out. I'm just hoping it turns out to be nothing. I'm a big burly 6'4" 365lbs dude and the thought of this nearly cripples me.

Well, I've done a bunch of searching online and found a bunch of stuff. Most of it mentions that they CAN be lethal but mostly it just says that the larvae will eventually work itself out and as long as the wound heals properly there shouldn't be a problem. I had never heard of the gross...

Oh my crap.. that is nasty. It never even occured to me that it could be something like that. I'm looking it up now. Have any of you ever had this happen before? Is this common? Can I prevent it? I'm kinda freakin out right now.

Hi Guys, I was hoping to get some collective advice on a strange wound/mark that all 3 of my rabbit have developed over the last 2-3 weeks. My buck was the first one that developed it and I didn't think much of it. I just cleaned it and let it heal on it's own. It was healed over and gone in...

I have cages built out of 1"x1/2" floor and 1"x1" sides and top with the baby saver built-in. I don't really live in an area where snake will be a concern. I'm pretty new to this, but I've had rabbits int he cages for about 2-3 weeks and everything is going well so far. I even put in some...

From what I understand there are some things that you don't really need to. Stuff with high acid content. But I wanted to try canning meat as well and that you need a pressure cooker for.

That's awesome. I actually got a free pressure cooker from the free cycle network and I've been meaning to start canning. I've never really done it before. I have a small garden that I've been working at the last couple years. This year I feel like I'm actually prepared so hopefully everything...

I got to visit Texas(Houston) last September for a week with work. It was pretty hot and humid. The air was so thick I found it hard to breathe. I spent a lot of time after the meetings next to the pool with a garbage can full of beer and ice.

You just shut right up :P My sister lives in Florida and she keeps talking about how nice it is in her pool :( I just want to see the sun for a few days in a row and keep it above freezing.

I noticed that the buck isn't emptying his water dish very much either. So I'm not sure if he's drinking from the valve or not but he's eating a lot. I weight them all again this week and he was 5lbs last week and 5lbs 14oz this week. He put on almost a pound in just under a week. So I start to...

We just got snow/freezing rain last night. I can't believe this. It's supposed to be spring. I want to transplant my lettuce and broccoli but there's 2 inches of snow on the ground. It seems to be melting today but this better be the last storm of the year. AND fishing season started last...

I was watching my rabbits out the deck doors last night and was quite surprised to see that one of my does was going to town on the water valve. I had put some water dishes in when I first brought them home and they didn't seem to have any use for the valves, but drank quite happily from the...

I saw this last night and nearly died laughing. I want to teach my buns to shave me :)

Yeah, they are definitely under 8 months. I suspect they are between 8-12 weeks. So I can just fill up their feeders and let them have at it?
