Today when I was cleaning rabbit poop trays, I found one tray full of small whitish yellowish worms. I assume deworming is needed. Can I buy it at the store? How do I figure the dosage for the six-week-old kits?

The vet said that might happen. Her babies are 5 weeks old now and eating solid food. I'll give her a week or two, and then into the stewpot with her. Such a pity - she's such a good mama.

I took her to the vet. Choices are: 1)antibiotics to heal the abcess, but they'll kill the babies or 2)Let it go untreated and the kits will live, but QV will most likely die. Decision: Hold off on antibiotics so QV can continue to nurse her 8 kits. Give her mashed up food that's easy to...

They were born Sunday and mama is taking great care of them! Either 4 or 5 - they bundle together and I don't want to stress out their mama by taking them out for a headcount. HURRRAH!

I found a wooden/chicken wire object set out for the trash and took it home. A friend is helping me modify it into 3 very spacious cages. I was going to put down linoleum, but an acquaintance who raised rabbits for many years says its better to let the urine soak into the wood as lineoleum...

I heard squeaking last night and spotted 2 crawling about this morning. Mama Em was watchful, so I figured I'd wait til after work to take a closer look. How exciting!

One of my rabbits got out of her cage last night (they're all indoors). When I found her this morning, she was surrounded by pulled out hair. She's now in a barricaded cage (gotta fix that latch!) with a card board box serving as a temporary nesting box, in case the popples are born before the...

My newest rabbits are shy and someone fearful. Would it help if I draped something over the cage so 3 sides are opaque? I'm thinking they might feel less vulnerable.

Why is it that the rabbits I plan to eat are sweet and cute and lovey dovey, but the angoras intended as pets are Ninja Rabbits who bite and scratch? Life ain't fair...but I'm still gonna eat them. I bought 4 pregnant does today - 2 Cali and 2 NZ. I'll be eating lots of rabbit meat this fall!

I recently bought 3 angora mix rabbits from Ann. Then I got another for free off of freecycle. But alas, I don't have time to groom all 4. So, Black Sonya has to go. Black face, brown fur, almost 6 months old. Bored silly, she loves it when I let her out of her cage. She does nip, so not...

If you cough and hack because your throat tickles, could that perchance be allergies? I'm wondering.<br /><br />__________ Sun Apr 18, 2010 12:25 pm __________<br /><br />

Moved my rabbits out of the dining room and into the basement today, after moving everything out of the basement. Took awhile, but they are settling in nicely now. The smell was a bit overwhelming so it was time. And now my dining room will become my sewing room. Who knows? I might even...

Today the cats spotted a large mouse/small rat (it was diving for cover when I saw it). Given the fact that it was under the couch which was surrounded by five extremely alert cats, I doubt it survived the day. I'm wondering - do you suppose it could have travelled in the 40 pound unopened bag...

If you clip your very hairy rabbit, can you spin their wool as easily as when you brush/pluck it? Four rabbits make for a lot of brushing, as you probably know. :lol:

My rabbits are in my dining room and invariably I end up w/pee on the floor. Do urine guards work, keeping the pee in the tray and off the floor?

As of yesterday, I have a new English angora..got him for free through Freecycle. He's gray and looks like a dustmop. WI Ann, are you looking for an unrelated stud for your rabbits? He's old enough and his fur is a delighy.

When I go to the cage to get one out, it immediately takes evasive action. And since their cages are fairly large, it can be hard to catch them. So what do I need to change in my approach? They're very friendly when I feed the, just hate being picked up.

I like spacious cages that the rabbits can hop around in. I need cages that break down so they'll fit into my Toyota or can be delivered.<br /><br />__________ Mon Feb 08, 2010 4:44 pm __________<br /><br />I forgot to say I'm in the SW corner of WI

3 nice English/French angoras delivered to my doorstep by Ann! They're settling in tonight..,my calico cat has been giving them the Death Ray look and I finally put a blanket over the cage so they can't see each other. Lovely, lovely fur..so, so soft...
