    Jackalope?

    Does anybody have any experience making their own jackalope? I've found a rabbit taxidermy bust form and have readily available stag horns...but I've only cleaned my rabbits and discarded the fur. Any pointers or links?

    Got a new cell phone--

    Sounds like we have the same phone...LGL55C. Hold down the button on the top left of the phone for silent and airplane mode. I don't do FB, so can't help you there.

    Anyone have this mental block w rabbit meat?

    Last night I cooked my own rabbits for the first time. They were deboned, cut into nuggets and fried in an attempt to make them not look like rabbit. My girlfriend did eat some, but certainly didn't eat as much as she typically would. It was a little weird for me as well, and I didn't eat as...

    ground rabbit mixtures?

    Well I finally had my first butchering day. I dispatched two of my 10 week old buns. My crazy over-powered pellet gun with the heaviest wadcutter pellets on the market (keep it below sound barrier so there is no "crack") made for a quick, quiet hands-off dispatch. No worries about my pellet...

    Just put a kit down...have a question

    Yes, more mucus looking than puss. I really wish that I would have taken a pic to post, but I was exhausted after a 13 hour shift. I read up on mucoid enteritis, and it seems as good an explanation as any. I will pull all rabbits out of the grow out cage today and hit it with my propane weed...

    Just put a kit down...have a question

    I was checking on my 5 week old kits and noticed that one was lethargic, had very dull looking eyes and was significantly smaller than its litter mates. I pulled it out to have a look and saw a long (over 2 inches) string of what appeared to be feces and probably fur and puss attached to it's...

    nest box eye advice

    This weekend I found that one of my 11 day old kits had a clump of mom's fur stuck to its eye, and the area around the eye was quite swollen. I gently rubbed the fur off the eye with warm water and a cloth, put a few medicated contact drops (only thing I had on hand) on it, and changed the hay...

    What could be causing this electric drain?!

    Warning: this advice is not for the clumsy or clueless! Buy yourself a cheap clamp-type amp meter. Turn off everything in the house...you can even go so far as to unplug cable boxes and the like as they draw amps even while not in use. Go to your main panel and take off the inside cover...

    Change your air filters!

    Miss M, the MERV rating was probably on the packaging. And also possibly on the filter itself, but almost certainly would have washed away by now. Proper airflow in and out of a system is everything when it comes to ac. Some of the very cheap equipment (Tempstar, Goodman, etc...) can run just...

    Change your air filters!

    By double, I'm guessing he means one in the return (the little grate in your wall or ceiling), and a media filter at your evaporator. Lots of debate within the HVAC community if this is a good idea or not. Doubling up on filters reduces airflow, which messes with your static pressure. You...

    Change your air filters!

    I've been given lots of good advice about my rabbits on here, so I just want to remind everyone to change their air filters MONTHLY. I work on air conditioners and restaurant/supermarket refrigeration for a living and I make a living on other people's dirt. Mechanical breakdowns account for...

    Lost popples to heat (I think)?

    It was the 17 day old litter. I'm too new at this to rule anything out, but with how good my girlfriend told me they looked when she left and only half an hour to a loss of 3 kits...I certainly won't be putting any frozen tiles in a cage with little ones hopping around.

    Lost popples to heat (I think)?

    I positioned my 10' offset umbrella to give my holes more complete shade, and just ordered a much more powerful solar panel and fan. My current fan (my blind first attempt at anything solar) is a 10W panel and 6" fan combo (very nice durable fan, but more suited to pulling heat out of an...

    Lost popples to heat (I think)?

    I just got home about half an hour ago to find 2 dead kits on the wire, one mouth breathing (died on my lap) and three others in distress. I removed the nest box last night and they were fine when I left for work this morning. I had read to remove the nest box around day 17-18, and many other...
