I'm so glad that your "buck" seems to have calmed down. I'm sure that whole experience was alarming to her too. You've done a great job! I recently had a similar issue. I thought I had 2 sisters sharing a cage. Thelma and Louise. They were fighting, so I separated them. All seemed well...

I'm so sorry I don't have an answer for you. Perhaps if you post a photo of the injury, someone will be able to help. Best of luck.

Appreciate the feedback. I used to be able to tolerate the heat better when I was younger. It literally sucks the life right out of me these days. Looking for a cooler place to retire to with a little piece of property to raise the critters I want. Thanks again

I appreciate your response. I'll update my profile. We are in southwest desert. 110 - 115 is common in the summer months. summer night lows are in the 80's-90's. Our rabbits are kept in an air conditioned shed during the summer. I need some objective feedback before I make a decision...

My reason for raising back yard meat rabbits was to provide antibiotic and hormone free meat for my family. I got two does from a breeder who kept her rabbits in an air conditioned garage she had made specific for her rabbits. It was pristine. That was about 1 1/2 years ago. I got my buck...

Susie - I am very sorry for what you are going through right now. These little buggers sure do grow on us. I have backyard meat rabbits and have yet to put any in my freezer. My family keeps naming and claiming them! I'm not sure if this will help you to feel better. I hope it might help...

Will post when I get home today. Thanks <br /><br /> __________ Tue Sep 01, 2015 7:04 pm __________ <br /><br /> Have been trying to figure out how to post photos here. I've resized them and still can't get the photos to show up. Only a link shows up rather than the actual photo. Any suggestion?

I am relatively new to raising backyard meat rabbits. My oldest buck (1 1/2 y.o) has ear mites and swollen genitals. I have two other bucks and three does (because my family keeps naming bunnies before I can do the deed). No one else is showing any signs of any issues at this time. I am...

I agree, before 4 months old. I'm rather new to sexing bunnies. I am 99% accurate so far. That one percent had a tragic ending last month. Our doe last kindled in February. I thought I had thelma and louise sharing a cage only to come home from vacation and find fur pulled and babies...

I just found ear mites on my buck today. No one else is showing any obvious signs. I'm a little disgusted by it but realize that it's sometimes a part of raising rabbits. I used some organic olive oil on a cotton ball and dripped some oil in the ear and rubbed the oil on the obvious stuff. I...

We are in AZ as well and having a similar smell issue. We have an 8x10 shed with 7 rabbits in it. It's insulated and has an small air conditioning unit attached. We clean cages weekly with vinegar. I've wiped the walls down and poured vinegar on the floor on the "wet spots". I've used DE...

First time posting here. Just returned home today from being out of town due to serious medical condition of family member. Went into the bunny barn and found a baby on the floor still alive. I was shocked. I had no idea any of my does was "bred". This was an unexpected surprise. Found...
