So I want to try tanning my rabbit skins for the first time. I keep reading that the temperature plays a part in the tanning process. But every time I read it they are referring to tanning with alum I am going to try tanning with battery acid because its easier to come by. Has any one tried...

First of all let me say thank you!!!! This is the most polite opinion I have ever had on a forum!!! The only reason i left the litter box in so long is because I live in WA state, its winter and their outside. I wasnt sure what temp they could withstand. Any thoughts? Thanks again! I'm new to...

They are 7 week old and weened. i have changed the nesting material almost weekly. They just seem to pee and poop in their and then sit in it. No runny stool. i just removed the doe this week so it could be her. She was very skiddish and spent more time in the nest than the kits so that could...

Nice Good to hear!!! She's been a very good doe and mother so far! Thanks again!!!

So I am breeding my rabbits again. I witnessed the male fall off the female but wanted to leave them together longer to make sure she took. I went back out to the cage a few minutes later to witness the doe humping the buck. Just curious if it meant anything? receptive? etc? Thanks!

Just a meat rabbit with no specific positive traits. Actually she's pretty skiddish. I thought she'd be my favorite due to her size But now I think she's overweight and believe that's the problem. She's been larger since I got her even thought she doesn't seem to over eat. I don't know if...

So It's my second attempt trying to breed one doe with no success. The buck was proven and impregnated my other doe at the same time. At this point I am ready to butcher her and find a replacement. Just curious as to everyone's thoughts on this. How many attempts do you make before parting...

So I'm new to the cold and trying to find a solution for my water bottles freezing. Its not a problem normally as I can just take them in at night and place them back in the morning. However, I am leaving for for 5 days and need to keep enough water for them without freezing. I've seen heated...
