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.

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...

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...

Hi all, I want to see what y'all think I should do to expand my bunny herd. I currently have Florida Whites-2 does (Eighteen & Six) and 1 buck (Ricky)- all unrelated. The does were both bred to the same buck- NOT Ricky. Eighteen has kindled & so far the 5 kits are okay (knock on wood). Six...

last night when i was going to bed I heard a commotion (squealing) out back where the Buns live. I went out to find 3 of the the 11 day old kits out of their new & improved nest box & "chasing" mom around. They kept having entire legs falling thru the floor wire so they couldn't move that...

Hi All, Quick post cuz I'm supposed to be working... I keep finding babies out of the nest box (born on 5/29). I always put them back but this am one was on the floor :( (about a 2.5 ft fall to cement). I can't figure out why they don't stay in the box? Should I make a bigger box? Their...

I have had my rabbits for about a month now & i have been very unhappy with the set up I have. I have a trio in 3 cages with room in for one more cage..a grow out cage?? I tried to make something like a rack that holds 4 cages (2 up/2 down); with plastic slant boards going to the back where...

Is this a new board? Or am I clueless?? Don't answer- probably a little of both :) Here are some pix of my BDE [Best Dog Ever] Gilly & her partners in crime, [Mighty Spritey] Sprite & [Bad Bad] LeeRoy [Brown]. They are the reason I started raising rabbits.

Hi All, I am reading a lot about parasites lately. I am wondering how you all prevent parasites, both internal & external. It sounds like all kinds of badness comes from the hay! I figured if I kept my buns healthy with a good natural diet I would be able to overcome parasites but I think...

:cry: My 2 runts are dying. They look like little skeletons now. I held mom down 2 days in a row to let them feed but they never got big tummies- though they did get some I could see. Last night we had horrible thunder storms when I got home from work. While I was holding mom down we had a...

Hi all, So far Eighteen's babies are hanging in there. The one with the purple knot on his/her head looks okay (it is fading) but seems a little runty- fingers crossed s/he makes it. My question is, the babes are getting their white peach fuzz already but some of them seem to be growing...

My first litter was kindled this morning & the kits look good but tonight when i checked on them it looks like some have full tummies (a white bulge on the left side) while others don't. Does that mean they didn't all get to eat? Is there anything I should be doing? Mom is a first timer &...

The babes came early this morning. I didn't get to bed until 3 am & I wanted to sleep in a little but the dogs wouldn't let me. I peeked out back & saw hair all over 18's cage & thought, oh they must be coming soon. I got my shoes & went out & immediately saw some placenta on the manure...

K- gotta make this quick...I am processing some rabbits i bought from a local guy. This is my first time. 1. I can see worms-pin worms? in the cecum-gag! 2. The rabbit's Lymph nodes seem awfully large....but again I am a newbie 3. The cranial lung lobe- closest to the head- is very mottled-...

Hi all, I am hoping that 18 will be having her babies any day now. I put in the nest box last night (day 28), stuffed it with hay (coastal), gave her a huge amount of alfalfa & a serving of pellets mixed with oats & BOSS. By tonight ALL hay was gone- the cheap coastal from the nest box! as...

Anybody have any rabbits available? My dog can only eat rabbit (she is old & sick :cry:) and my normal supplier is out. She needs 2 rabbits a week so I can take 2 or more- really whatever you can sell. I am in Central FL (Sanford) but I am willing to drive to avoid the rabbits imported from...

Hi all, i am new to rabbits. I am trying to stay away from pellets. I need to know what to store the hay in. I am in super hot & humid FL. The Buns are on my sun porch- basically the walls are floor to ceiling windows. i try to keep them open but then rain can blow in- like it did last...

Hi All, I finally found some Florida White rabbits. I picked up a trio last weekend. The 2 does have been bred. One (I call her Eighteen) on the 27th of April- so she should be due within the next week. Any thoughts on a quick & dirty, er clean ;) nest box? I have been leaning towards...
