If they do well, can you please provide the link?

I have seen where some people put screws in the bottoms of the nest boxes that when you set them in, they lock the box in place to the wire below so they don't scoot. That might help with keeping baby legs from getting caught too.

I would personally put my entire cages inside a building that is bird proof. If they can't get TO the wire they can't reach through it to kill kits.

I'm a little biased against goats (mostly because my fences aren't built to hold water) so I would go for a dairy sheep rather than a fiber goat personally, but if you enjoy the little pests then all the happiness to you and to them and I'll enjoy watching the adventures from the other side of...

My concern about running AC or a lot of other cooling things is what happens if the rabbits never see a warm day and then suddenly the power goes out on a hot day? They won't be ready for it and you'll probably lose a lot of them. I mean, if they start showing heat stress then it's time to step...

That's just the scientific name for the rabbits that we keep in North America. They came from Europe and are still wild there. Here they are almost entirely domesticated (a few feral populations here and there), in Australia they are an issue because there are no native rabbits there.

I actually don't have rabbits yet (getting ready to start building cages and getting ready to source some this spring), but I have 5 cats, 4 horses, and my boyfriend has a dog I'm watching a decent portion of the time.

I've been hearing "science nerds" talking about how they are starting to do DNA testing on snake sheds to identify color patterns on ball pythons (they have like 300 color morphs and you can stack pretty much as many as you want on 1 snake so it gets hard to ID by eye) and what they are doing is...

I have a VERY basic idea of how this works. If you just needed someone to help dig through mass data to figure out what changes what spot I would be glad to help with that part.

Really? Another angry react? You should probably go rub your rabbit on his forehead... https://rabbittalk.com/threads/do-you-find-it-soothing-when-petting-your-rabbit.37248/

I have no opinion on that. As long as they don't fall or jump and hurt themselves I don't see an issue as long as the rabbit is fine with it. If you would look at your other thread about this exact same topic, you would see that you got comments basically saying the same thing...

Ya know, with all the angry reacts, you don't seem like a very happy bunny...

Yes, it does. A rabbit that is cared for in a species appropriate way their entire life and don't have any unneeded stress or diseases and then has a confusing but not entirely bad moment at the end has a far better life than a rabbit that is taken places and stressed repeatedly, needlessly...

Now, what I would do, is if you want to ask for deposits have it be that you pay half and then you have a set time period (30 days?) to pay the rest and claim the animal, otherwise the sale is considered abandoned. That way you can't get in a situation where you haven't heard from them and...

That's not a problem unless you plan on backing out of a sale. The conversation you were replying to is about a breeder being willing to sell and holding rabbits for buyers who never showed up to hand over the money. At least with a deposit in hand the breeder wouldn't have been out the entire...
