My devil bunny is having some problems. She was due to kindle last Wednesday, but with the heat wave she gave birth prematurely and all the kits (five that I found) were still born. We have been giving our rabbits frozen bottles for the heat and I put a sprinkler on top of their shelter to...

Got our first three butchered today and in the fridge. Have not processed rabbit in many years, but it came back fairly well. My daughters actually helped out which was a shock. A couple months ago they were horrified that I was going to kill the cute little bunnies. Today they had no...

Momma kindled this morning. 9 in all, one was stillborn and another 4 were found dead around 1pm. One of the four remaining is really small too. Not the best litter for sure. Not sure what is going on this time around. Momma has been pretty anti-social lately and she still is after the...

This is this bunnies first litter. She was desperately trying to build a nest and did not like the wire nesting box we gave her at all. Kept taking hay out of the box by the mouthfull and running around with it. I put in a wooden box and she settled down and started to pull a little fur...

My NZ doe is being a butt the last few days. She has been more and more anti-social and today when I was doing my weekly check up, she would not let me touch her at all. Kept trying to bite at me and when I figured to leave her alone she actually charged my hand as I pulled it out of the cage...

Got a couple from our first litter that we may keep depending on sex. I am pretty sure with these, but thought I would get some more opinions first. Here is the first one: And here is the other. This one would not hold still for a photo! Let me know what you think.

My daughters took the rabbits out to play this afternoon. The took the does out and after a few minutes started to call me over to break up a fight. They were not fighting...they were mating!! Guess Capt. Janeway is really Captain Kirk! My wife sexed them when we first brought them home and...

Got an old cage and was thinking of turning it into a tractor for my rabbits to graze in during the day. Do any of you pasture your bunnies? I am curious if it would be beneficial or not. Plus the help with keeping the yard mowed would be nice. :mrgreen:

Went out to check the bunnies when I got home today and found momma waiting with a baby sitting next to her. Little bugger is less than 2 weeks old and found out how to jump out of the box. Problem is that I am pretty certain that they cannot get back in once they get out. There are a couple...

Been a week since the first litter on our little farm was born so I went out and did a more thorough check on the little ones to see how they are doing. Past inspections have been haphazard with all the kits squirming all over the nest and it was hard to tell if I had checked them all. This...

We have bunnies!! Went to check on the rabbits this morning and found that Momma Bun Bun had her litter during the night. 8 live ones and one stillborn in the box. Will make a more detailed check in a couple hours after the kids are at school and momma has had a chance to rest up. We also...

Could bunnies chew on them? I know wild almonds are toxic, but am not sure about the branches from the trees themselves. We have a few wild almond trees on the property and was wondering if they were safe for chewing? Also have an elderberry tree, a walnut tree and some cedars. Lots of pears...

Been repairing a three hole cage I got for free over the winter and have everything ready to go except for the door latch. I changed the doors to the type the swing in and up and would like some of the swivel type latches for them, but either I have to buy 100 or pay rather high shipping for...

Got a line on a nice breeding age doe. She is a NZ/Cali mix and the guy thinks she is 2 or 3 weeks pregnant. I can get her for next to nothing and any kits would be a welcome bonus. Question is can I safely transport her while he is pregnant or would the stress of a move be too hard on her?

My local Target has 4 pound bags of rabbit feed on clearance at 70% off right now. I cleaned them out and got 40 pounds of feed for 14 dollars. If your local Target is on a similar schedule with their clearance, you may find a similar deal.

I can get four rabbits for free today. They are Silver Fox and English Spot cross breeds. Would these make a decent meat rabbit? Or does the fact that they are free make them a decent meat rabbit? :)

Would cardboard work for a nesting box? We use these cardboard bins at work and the big ones are roughly the same size as a commercial metal nesting box. I can get all I want of these things to take home, just wondering if they would work a disposable nesting box or perhaps just a little...

Got this freebie off Craigslist over the weekend. I am not sure if this would work out or if I should scrap it for parts. It is 8 feet long by 2 feet wide. Each cage is four feet by 2 feet. Sides are particle board which I think would need changing out due to the glue in the wood and...

Just getting set up and will be in the market for some bunnies later this month. I have been wondering what would be better for starting out- Buying pure breed bunnies or getting free or cheaper rabbits off Craigslist? I see free bunny listings all the time and many look like pure breeds, but...
