I agree with ollitos; I personally won't buy a rabbit from someone if they charge extra for a pedigree. No offense intended.

I'll leave it someone more experienced to answer the question regarding blood. Although, I can tell you that it is perfectly normal for a little blood to be present after a does has given birth. As far as when she will deliver, it depends on the doe. Some does will build a nest a few days...

Of course not :) Thank you.

Thanks, BH :) It's always nice to have support.

I am currently researching how I would go about starting a cage selling business. First, let me tell you my plan: 1.) Set up an ad on Craigslist and create a free website listing my products. I will offer 36x24x18, 30x24x18, 24x24x18, and 18x24x18 GAW 14 gauge cages. I was thinking that...

camanojim, yes, that's the breeder. I appreciate all of the input.

The disadvantages to one long cage are as follows: 1) Difficult to carry. Therefore, difficult to take out of the barn and clean. 2) Sagging is very likely with the long length. 3) If you wish to resell, it would be problematic because most people will want individual cages. Advantage: 1)...

Oh! Those pictures are absolutely perfect! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Can anyone tell me how to visually tell the difference between Galvanized After Weld wire and Galvanized Before Weld wire? My local feed store carries the wire I need, but they don't have information on how it was welded. Thank you! Logan P.S. Has anyone ever used Red Brand products?

Why is WA so flipping complicated? LOL.

I've concluded that I need a WSDA Food Processors License to process and sell rabbits in my state. At $55, it seems like a very reasonable price. However, I still do not know what the regulations are on processing within my city. I've looked up city ordinances and I can't find anything. Is...

Thanks for the advice!

Sky, thank you for that sound advice. Oceanrose, that sounds like a wonderful idea actually! I'm even going to be here on the 19th! I'll talk to my parents. To be honest though, I just feel so weird walking up to someone and asking about their rabbits or if they know anyone with the rabbits...

Really? That's interesting. I'm not sure I would be comfortable buying rabbits I know nothing about. I sent him a response. I don't think it came off as rude or disrespectful, but I still got my point across nonetheless. I'll see what he says. "Thank you for the response, Robert. Let me tell...

My main concern is purchasing the rabbits, and then simply not getting the results I want. I would like to show and produce meat, but it seems most breeders have two separate lines in their rabbitry for that situation. I don't know.

That's what I was thinking. I may just have to tell him "no." I'll wait until Diamond has something ready for me :twisted:

I'm speaking to a man that lives an hour and a half away from me about acquiring some New Zealand stock. Here is the description of his rabbits: "Okay. Finally have a minute to answer your previous email. I'm working with four distinct NZW genetic lines. The heads of two of the four lines are...

Absolutely. That's why I would try finding somewhere local that manufactures wire. You may be surprised. You also might be surprised at the cost of shipping from a place like Klubertanz. Depending on how much you order, they have great savings on shipping.

That is correct, Miss M. However, please note that only the FLOOR is galvanized after welding/aluminmum coated, while the rest of the cage is galvanized before welding.

I've butchered a several year old buck before, and the meat was awful. 8-12 weeks is usually when you are wanting to butcher.
