Hey all! I love this site and all that it has taught me in dealing with my rabbits...I have raised, harvested and eaten several and more are heading to freezer camp today! All made possible by the "Rabbit Talk" Think Tank! Now, on to our story... We are getting ducks from Holleraread Farms...

I recently switched to sprouts and hay with a rare use of pellets for my 6 breeders and their little buns and they have had no problems switching to sprouts and even the occasional use of pellets, they just seem to get it. However... My wife has a VERY sensitive sniffer (she once detected a...

I am in the process of redoing my rabbit cages and adding an auto watering system and am wondering if salting the water a small bit and/or adding a mineral block to the water might keep the system from sliming up? I have heard that auto waterers are used to dispense meds and other nutrients...

I have been raising rabbits for about 2 years now in hopes of today: harvesting my own meat source. Here are some of the details, please feel free to comment... • 1-3 bonks on the head (as per a video I saw on this site, I liked it better than the other methods, still do). Yeah, it took a few...

One of my little kits (about 8 days old) rolled out of the cage and a bird or cat cut into one front paw pretty deep and a rear paw (on the other side) just a bad. There is blood, but the kit is warm and moving (some) the wounded limbs are twitching and the kit is breathing and moving...any...

I am looking to make a change in my rabbitry and would love to see what others have going on... Currently, I have things set up in my gazebo stacked 2X3 holes with a separate grow out hutch that I had on hand...I am looking for a picture...I have 8 24X36x20 cages... I am hoping to build a shed...

This time of year is when I try to give the bunny cages a good cleaning...but out of nowhere (right?) one of my does kindled six little buns! Yeah! I am hoping to take all of my does (and these babies) and give them some time in my grass while I clean their cages... How long should I wait...

This seemed strange to me, so naturally, this seemed like the place to bring it up... One of my does was late by about 4-5 days when I go out to the hutches and find her with a huge furry handlebar mustache...it was hilarious...it looked like it was cartoonish...and I thought she didn't take...

This is my second year with trying to breed buns for food...still no kids at freezer camp... I read one of the threads here about readiness to breed...http://rabbittalk.com/judging-a-doe-s-readiness-and-breeding-tips-t9869.html which was very helpful. After reading the thread, I checked by...

I have read a ton of books, threads and online articles and have tried a few 'tricks' to get things going (breeding wise) and I feel like I am still guessing. I have tried numerous times with my combo of two bucks and two does. I have had one batch of 4 that are 12wks from one doe, and a batch...

I have yet to get my buns to hook up. I have two bucks, two does. One doe grabs the bottom of the cage like she's in a tornado, the other seems willing, but alas, no kits... I read in Story's Guide about the hold'em and hitch'em method...as it were. However, my does don't get much time being...

I've read from the Storey's Guide about holding her down...hmmm...she's not that friendly... I've heard about string...? Not sure what the S.O.P (standard operating procedure) on that is... Any other ideas...I went out on a bit of a limb (ego, reputation, etc.) to set up some buns for food...

I have read Storey's Guide to Rabbits and been on several blogs (this being the only one that let me register, Thanks!) and I have heard that the question of a mating sticking is really just guess work. I am at my third try at a 'day 31' and both excited and nervous...I am rethinking all...
