I was actually thinking, I know water intake is important. This is the first time I've had a lot of issues with bottles freezing and while I switch them out as soon as possible, could having less access to water be causing the weight loss?

Can I treat for both simultaneously or should I try one treatment and wait, then the next?

I guess I should have specified that culling is not an option unless they are in a lot of pain and it's the humane thing to do. All of the ones with issues are either family pets as well as past breeders, or absolutely essential to my breeding program. I do have two grow outs that were housed...

It started when I noticed that one of my three colony does was a little thinner then the rest, which I figured was from the others eating faster, so I just gave them all a little more food. They are my retired breeders, so I figured if the extra made the others get a bit pudgy, it would be fine...

Looks like she found a way because they arent getting super skinny. They arent super plump either, but I checked mid day.

Well, she had five, one doa but the other four looked great and very big. She had them out of the nest and they were a little chilled but still active, so i warmed them up and popped them in the nest box. I hope she starts to feed them soon, doesnt look like she did this morning but they were...

So I have my first show quality doe and buck so I'm freaking out more than usual. She made a nest today, day 30, but not in the box. It is in the wooden back part of the hutch, but its a huge drafty hutch. Should I leave it be, move to the box now, move to the box after they are born, or move...

I pluck ducks because i love the crispy skin, thats the best part! Adding the dish soap to the water gets through the water proofing and makes the feathers easier to pluck. It takes more time then a chicken, but if you get a few extra hands to help pluck it goes pretty fast.

We keep the meat, liver, heart, and kidneys for us. The ears are dried for the dogs. Feet, tail, lungs, and any little scraps of fat go to the dogs immediately. Sometimes they or the chickens are interested in eating the intestines as well, when they aren't those get buried. I would suggest...

Oh wow, the idea of a novel with an Egyptian pharoah reincarnated as a cat sounds awesome! Im really big into Egyptian mythology, especially anything to do with Bastet, so that definitely speaks to me. If you ever make that I'll need to buy a copy...or three...or five :D

I love this, thanks for posting! Im pan as well and fully believe that anyone deserves love and their love should be protected.

I need the cornbread and quiche recipes now! I haven't tried baking in cast iron yet, but I love cooking in it so much. I made a beef and potato hash with scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning. It never ceases to amaze me how easy they are to clean when properly seasoned. I am now scouring...

My aunt got me a logde pan for christmas last year. I finally got around to using it and I adore it. Just got three pans at a flea market for 10 bucks! One is a 8 inch BSR, one seems to be a 6 inch Favorite, and one a lodge with a grill bottom. I'm cleaning and reseasoning them and cant wait to...

Ive seen rabbits tear huge four inch gashes in each others throats when housed together. I have done a few successful colonies, but the key is the right rabbits and a whole lot of space. I wont put two together in a space less that 5x6 ft, usually larger. I know rabbits can be bonded, my parents...

Good to know. I only use these in a pinch because inscense isnt always strong enough and any spray scent ive tried so far makes me sick. Like when my roommate left some meat in the microwave to defrost and forgot it a week. I opened up the doot and the smell was horrid, so i grabbed a plug in to...

Well, my rabbit savy vet isnt open until monday, but said he could get me in then. I'm not sure if I should take her or not. She isn't a pet, though she is one of the ones I like the most. Really though, if she will end up losing this litter and unable to breed again I know I shouldn't sink a...

Well, I tried and it wouldn't really go back inside. I did my best. Shes still eating and drinking and acting normal. Anyone have a video on fixing prolapse? Even in some other animal? Maybe I did it wrong or something.

Thank you so much. Im hoping I can get her through delivering the kits, as unlikely as that is, and then retire her if it will stay in and she has good quality of life. I will put her down if she is suffering though, even if it means losing the kits, I really don't want to cause her pain by...

Alright, well since she doesn't seem in distress I'm gunna try. What is safe to use as lubricant?

I came out to hold and check on my doe Carli, who is due on the 10th. I turned her upside down to check her butt cause it felt a little damp when I picked her up, and I think shes aborting a kit, but I don't know!!! There is something coming out of her, and I have no idea what, why, or what to...
