Basically my question is Sub-Q or IM? My problem doe has a nasty case of sore hocks and just kindled seven DOA and under-formed (but deliver on due date) kits. A very experienced rabbit person, actually who I bought the daddy of the litter from, suggested I give her some penicillin to help fight...

My buck is a MESS! He now has fleas, although I cant fully blame him for this one all of our barn cats have had fleas bad lately so they are spreading. I have been looking up ways to rid of these pests and one site said flea powder, another said NO flea powder because it contains too many...

THAT'S HILARIOUS! My goats love my bunnies! My rabbit hutch is outside with in one of our goat pens and the doe that lives there for now loves them! She stands under their hutch and sniffs them and sometimes plays with their water bottles! One time I put my doe (rabbit) on the ground to run...

I thought it might be those (couldn't remember how to spell it when I was posting this and was in a hurry) but aren't they usually more round?

My Harley buck has been sick lately. Long list of issues with this boy internal parasites (I think), ear mites, sore hocks and now that he's finally starting to start acting better and eating good again....I notice some of his poo is stuck to the wire and its dark and looks kind of like raisins...

I would use wood but my main concerns with it are 1.) Cost because I'd need a lot and 2.) My buck chews on EVERYTHING I'm afraid he'll find a way to chew on it through the wire. I need something cheap, durable and lasting. :/ <br /><br /> __________ Thu Feb 06, 2014 6:28 pm __________ <br /><br...

I am building a new rabbit hutch this weekend. It is going to be very large and I don't know what to use as a frame to hold it up. It will be a long, outside, full-wire (4 or 5 hole) cage. My plans are 12ft long, 18 inches tall and 2ft wide then I want the frame to hold it up about 37 inches off...

My Jap Harli doe had four popples on New Year's Day. From the begging the one was always smaller than the others, I figured he was just the runt and since when I felt their bellies they all felt like they had been fed so I didn't really worry about him. Although when I looked at him closely...

Well, I got back from the show and I was rather pleased! Although there was only 3 Harlequin breeders and seven harlis in all, it was tough competition! 5 out of the 7 were Sr. Bucks which was what my boy was. In the fist show he got 2nd/5, the judge seemed to like him. She said she really liked...

Thank you for a good, reputable opinion. He has had one kit, who was an accident, with a horribly marked, tiny (only about 3 pound) Japanese doe. The baby can out marked pretty well EXCEPT the fact that she is a Jap doe with a kinds of white strays in her. I am going to a big show next week and...

I really want to try rabbit and I really want to be able to butcher them myself but I am just so scared! I'm not really that queasy or anything I just don't want to hurt them? What if I mess up! Or what if I mess up while I'm skinning, etc and the meat goes bad! It would be such a waste plus I...

I *sort of* measure my buns food, unlike yours my herd need to GAIN weight! I didn't used to measure it then I kept reading that you should and one of my does didnt seem to be eating good, but I didn't know because I didn't know how much food she started out with! So I started out giving...

Aww! That's so cute!! We have some younger kids come around the farm sometimes and they all love the rabbits! Last girl who came loved my buck becuase he would just let her hold him and he didn't really care at all! The only baby we had left though,about 5 1/2 weeks, decided he was going kick...

FACEBOOK! Didn't even think of that! Thank you!!! But, where on Facebook is the information? I cant find it? (Sorry!!)

Does anyone know any information on the FSRBA Show at the Volusia County Fairgrounds? I don't know where to find the smaller detail like, time etc. I'm not sure if there's like a website or anything, I know most if the goat shows do, that's what I'm used to so correct me if I'm wrong. I just...
