    Springfield, Mo

    Has anyone ever been to the ARBA rabbit show in Springfield, Mo? I've never been, never even knew they had one. I'm gonna try and go, but I just kinda wanted to see if anyone had personal experience.

    I found Kudzu

    Way back a couple of months ago I asked if anyone had ever grown Kudzu or fed it to their rabbits. Well the general feeling towards it was that it was way to invasive to fool with.

    Crossbreed

    I was wondering how to start a line of broken new zealands. Do I have to start with NZs that already have a broken color? I'm new to this but I assume that its not as simple as breeding a red to a white. But that being said, broken color patterns came from somewhere... how far back up the chain...

    I have a small run off my rabbit barn for my rabbits to eat grass and play in the sun a bit. I know rasemary can be good for them and maybe a form of dewormer, possibly mint and a few others. I was wondering if either of these were toxic in large doses and if I planted some in there run area if...

    Notching

    Has anyone ever heard of putting a notch in a rabbits ear like you would a pig to tell the gender and such? I bought a young buck today and the breeder notches his rabbits ears. It was a very healthy rabbit aside from two half circles notched out of its ear.

I know some people feed there rabbits on a alfalfa hay diet (with other things thrown in), but does this particular "substitute" look good enough to be my rabbits bulk feed? And the information given below is all I could find on this...
