Thanks for the reply! It's currently "in progress". Slab is poured, frame is up (harbor freight carport) and the sides and back had the wire put on them yesterday. Today we will be working on the interior dividers & maybe the front. Depends on how much hubby feels like doing, since today is...

I'm in the process of building a colony for my rabbits. I'm well aware of the "issues" that could arise from putting 5 does together and can/will separate if needed. My main question revolves around the "layout" of the colony. It's 10' wide x 20' long. I was planning on 4 "pens" alone one...

#1 - as long as you're not trying to keep all the poo/pee off the floor, I think that might work. Not really familiar with GP's so I don't know how they'll affect the squares. #3 - I don't know what the hutch looks like so I can't really advise much on that. I'm going to assume 18" so I'd...

Edited because I actually re-read the first post which answered my question. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Great job Truckin!

Gratz zee! I've discovered that once you do the first one, it gets easier. I did my first rooster today. I didn't bother plucking, just skinned him. Even so it still took me about 30 minutes to finish him. I'll be working on our last 3 buck rabbits this week, since DH is finally back to...

The dogs get all scraps from butchering day. Sometimes, if there's a whole lot, they get part one day and part the next, but since we have 6 hungry dogs it doesn't last long. edit to add ... when we dispatch the rabbits we use the "broomstick" method so no worries about feeding the heads to...

Ann - The doe who had 10 lost 1 and the doe who had 9 lost 1. We are down to 8, 7 & 9. Keeping an eye on things daily. Hoping we don't loose any more!

Well, DR08's weak kit died. She now has 8. So we have 8, 7 & 9. Hopefully we don't loose any more!

My rabbit's aren't named ... told DH we should name the breeders at least ... But I digress ... Baby Pictures! :D This is the litter of DR08 (Doe Rabbit 08) She is cali marked with rex fur and gave birth on 6/14/13 to 9 kits. So far all are well, although one looks like it may not make...

:coffeebath: <-- From a fellow Truckingal & Truckinguy :happybday2u:

Thanks Ivory ... When should I do this? It's been about 7 hours since I checked them today, should I go do it now or wait until the morning?

Just wondering how long I should wait to make sure the kits are being fed? I checked the nest boxes this morning and the smaller litters seem to be well fed, but the mom who had 10/11 only appears to have about 1/2 of them fed. I don't want to jump the gun on fostering (would rather not have...

Thanks all! Question ... when should I check and/or be concerned about the large litter being fed? I want to try and make sure I don't loose any. I checked them this morning and about 1/2 looked like they'd been fed but the other half were pretty skinny looking.

On the 14th, my rex furred cali marked doe kindled 9 kits. http://youtu.be/4SFCR09UzF0 This morning we went out and found the Cali doe kindled 7 & the REW doe kindled 11! http://youtu.be/ZPewZBqYC7U Still one to go!

Haha! Sorry I didn't see this sooner! Of course I kill them first ... :mrgreen: And yes, I will clean them before putting them in the freezer. :lol: Just meant that we wouldn't eat them until the family reunion, hence keeping them frozen until then. Of course, they're getting a bit on...
