Thank you for every ones advice. I am going to breed her tomorrow and give her another try. I will take some extra steps with predators. It is not her diet nor is it her health. She is more skittish then most of my does, so I will do my best to give her a safer environment. The gnawing off the...

I have a 1 1/2 year old doe that has had 3 litters. The first 2 litters were the best survival ratios we ever had out of all of our does. Every single kit survived first 2 litters. We had a litter of 8, 5 days ago. 10 hours after discovery the litter I found 6 dead. They had full bellies, but...

Thanks for all of the advice. For a year and a half I have been growing barley fodder with BOSS. I have done so well with it that I grow enough to feed over 15 horses a day in which I sell at local feed stores. It is all automated and requires very little effort. After feeding the Barley Fodder...

I will tell you what Mama sheepdog. You pay for the dry ice and shipping and I will send you fresh crabs next year. You will have to cook them yourself.

I take the heads minus the ears and throw them in the freezer. I use them later to use as crab bait in my crab pots when I go crabbing. It works better then Chicken legs, which is what all the the people use around here. The crabs can pick the meat off of a chicken leg real quick. The rabbit...

I thought I would pass along a experiment I tried last night. I came across a person on ebay selling rabbit ears as treats for dogs and cats. Seeing as I had 15 rabbits from one litter to butcher I thought I would try making my own. here is how I did it. I threw the ears in a bucket of ice water...

I would like to help, but I do not have experience in wheat grass. What I can tell you from my own experiences in barley fodder is this. I rinse and soak my seeds for 1 1/2 to 2 hours only. I then rinse, drain and put it in a bowl that has been cleaned with Palmolive dish washing liquid. I put...

I am sorry I did not mention that my rabbits are also given meadow grass hay. As far as the diet I will be starting for myself I have a bit more research to do before I start. The general Idea is to eliminate store bought meats. I raise my own rabbits so I know exactly what they are being fed...
