TCM= Traditional Chinese Medicine

Okay so when I googled this (using the same terms) all I found was TCM usage. I never saw where it is very toxic to rabbits. This is why I am so scared to feed something from my yard.

Ha! I have a sweet potato that started sprouting in my house & it is so vigorous (& it was from the organic market) so i decided to plant it. i haven't done so yet but I did buy a container to get it started. but then my brown thumb kicked in...do just stick the whole potato in the soil? Or...

Yes, except I found squished poop stuck to the wire in her poop corner & assumed it was soft because it stuck. Looking back I saw many more than normal cecotropes than in the past week or so & there is still plenty of "normal" poop on the boards. So perhaps the stuck poop is not really soft...

I think this may be the problem. I saw many more uneaten cecotropes this past week. I think this is what is getting squished on the wire. Since I have cut back on the greens the last 2 days things are much better. If I offer both Alfalfa & Coastal hay will they choose the one they need? or...

I just read on another forum about someone feeding potatoes to rabbits??? I thought potatoes were a big no....Any thoughts? Does anyone here feed potatoes? Just curious.

Yes, I was noticing the HUGE ears too. Great job Windy & Tessa :D

I NEVER said I was feeding anything wilted or dried out! What I said was, "I am often cleaning out [of the cage] dry shriveled up zucchini or radish" Because the rabbits don't eat them. They prefer the greens. My schedule [so no one thinks I am feeding my buns garbage]: EVERY NIGHT after...

Ok, I will eliminate the veggies. The 3wk old litter has no problems- just a little bit of softer stool for mom. As I mentioned it will be no problem in doing so. How do you store the plantain, etc? Do you dehydrate them? Is this something you feed daily? or just as a medicinal when you have...

Nope, no pellets.<br /><br />__________ Sat Jun 19, 2010 9:16 am __________<br /><br /> As I mentioned- no pellets. Can you define/quantify on a per rabbit basis maybe "a ton of greens"? :D I do give 1 piece of veggie/fruit every day- we're talking a 1/4 inch slice of apple or zucchini...

Man, I'm glad you saved most of them. I never realized that rabbits are so sensitive! What do you think caused it??

In Eighteen's poop corner I've noticed some soft poops accumulating on the wire....should I be worried? She seems fine & the babies have the cleanest butts ever :D How much/many greens do you give to your rabbits? It seems like they love the greens. I've given organic Spinach, organic...

Me too! :lol: I have a brown thumb & know nothing about growing plants...

Thanks Maggie, Yes it is clipped to the cage with a a bolt snap from an old dog leash....ooooh another tip for the tips/tricks board! :lol: Tonight when I got home there was hay & HAIR! everywhere..but no kits. I just went out to check 10 minutes ago & there were 5 little babes in the...

Hi All, I mentioned in my other post about my new cage. I found it at the local feed store & they are trying to order some more for me. They are the same price (or off by a dollar or 2) as the cr*ppy (made in China) cages I got from TSC. On the other 3 TSC cages some wire welds have broken-...

Hi all, Six, my second Doe is due tonight (day 31). This time I feel a little better prepared with my high sided all wire nestbox and my new cage. I got it from the local feed store & it is really nice- GAW wire in 1x1 all around & 1/2x1 on the floor. So hopefully Six will have her kits in...

I use a wire nestbox & put a piece of cardboard on the bottom & grass hay on top. I like the idea of paper though...we have a shredder at work & it is filled with white copier paper all the time.... Six is due any second now (day 31) :bouncy: and she is currently ripping the cardboard to...

Okay. these rabbits were big- he said Flemishx. 4 of 6 were bucks & I think they were older than he said but I have no way of knowing. They were not HUGE as I'd expect an older FlemishX to be but the skin was really hard to get off & seemed thicker than I'd expect. I actually tore some of...

Aww they ARE little BC marked bunnies! I am so glad I don't live near you :D There is a sex linked deafness in cats. White male cats with blue eyes will be deaf (can't remember if it is 100%- if not it is close). Some dogs (that are not traditionally all white like a Spitz or Samoyed) can be...

I know this is an older post but i had a couple questions. I am gonna be using the rabbit for my dogs mostly. Extras will be sold to a friend who sells to Raw feeders. Why do you need to bleed the rabbit? I have been a raw feeder since 1999 and one thing I have always thought that was...
