I'm having a pretty hard time finding (and then making contact with) any one in my region that has American Blues. I have really fallen for the breed and I'm having a hard time accepting so few people raise them. I'm in north central Indiana, just south of the Michigan border. Does anyone have a...

This'll be our first winter with buns out in the raised cages and not in the barn. They're not out there now, they're in our barn and need to be moved asap. I was wondering what everyone uses to house their rabbits and keep them out of the wind. Is it completely enclosed? Do you just use nest...

Golly, what part of TX are you in? That sounds insane.

Congratulations!<br /><br />__________ Mon May 27, 2013 11:28 pm __________<br /><br />Hey! apparently I missed my twirly star day. I went MIA for a while.

We killed a copperhead right off of the front porch a few months ago. I think our dogs had already injured it, though. The only "good" thing about them is their venom is the least potent of the venomous snakes here in TX. If medical attention is sought, 99% of the time, they don't result in...

Congratulations! We live close enough to Longview that I thought about dropping in and seeing what was beinf sold, but my in-laws are in town. :( I was really hoping to snoop around!

Looks like I need to find a red doe. :(

Just checked the nest box, the pinks are definitely not red. Their fur is white. The brokens look like broken black. I'm going to have to dig up the pedigrees and snoop. I REALLY wanted some reds. Boo.

My red buck and REW doe had a litter this week, and I'm scratching my head over the colors. I am VERY new to rabbit genetics, so please be gentle. My doe has four brokens and five pink babies I'm assuming are REW. Now, I'm wondering what reds look like in the nest box. I thought they were pink...

Well I just have a piggie then. One of my does hates the metal feeder, so we give her a crock. Erm...corning ware from my kitchen, actually. She will not eat if she can't bury her front feet down deep in the pellets. :roll:

Nekkid Southdowns! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Can't wait to see your whitewashing, btw. :)

Nine kits! It looks like we have four broken blacks, and five pinkies who could be REW like mama, or red like papa. I'll get a better look later, and snap some pictures, too. There's one kit that is gigantic! Nearly three times bigger than the rest of the kits, and any that Edna had.

Thank you everyone who recommended their cages. They were super back-logged when we ordered at the beginning of May, so we just had them delivered last week. Hubs and I put them together, and they are wonderful! We've been using TSC cages as a temporary solution since bringing them in due to the...

Honey is FINALLY getting ready to kindle. We bred she and Edna two and a half days apart, I guess Edna went early and Honey is kindling late. I've been checking her like crazy every day expecting kits on the wire because she hasn't made one nest-y move. UNTIL NOW! This is great, because Edna did...

Wow, that is insane! How has she not popped yet?

I know it's not ever feasible for most of y'all, but when the heat started getting bad here in May, we moved the buns indoors. Most of these little tricks don't seem to last long for cooling. When the sun goes down and it's only dropped to 90+ (or 100+ in the dead summer) long-term cooling is...

Probably cafe press. I can donate a knit toy bunny, let me drag up a picture. I only have a few photos on ravelry. Or a t-shirt design. I do freelance illustrations, I'm working on a kid's book now.<br /><br />__________ Sat Jun 09, 2012 11:00 pm __________<br /><br /> This is lamb, but I...

Great idea, thanks!<br /><br />__________ Sat Jun 09, 2012 7:00 pm __________<br /><br />We lost them all. Honey STILL hasn't kindled. :(

Well, I'm a super creative individual. Also? I was excited my first name hadn't been taken, that never happens.

Thanks! I'm hoping she kindles soon. The current kit's mother kindled 30 days almost to the hour, I'm hoping for the same good fortune with the one who is due.<br /><br />__________ Thu Jun 07, 2012 4:33 pm __________<br /><br />My husband found one of the bigger kits this morning out of the...
