Can anyone ID this plant? Location : southern Louisiana Height : up to 7' Rabbit safe? [/url][/img]

Does anybody have any experience making their own jackalope? I've found a rabbit taxidermy bust form and have readily available stag horns...but I've only cleaned my rabbits and discarded the fur. Any pointers or links?

Well I finally had my first butchering day. I dispatched two of my 10 week old buns. My crazy over-powered pellet gun with the heaviest wadcutter pellets on the market (keep it below sound barrier so there is no "crack") made for a quick, quiet hands-off dispatch. No worries about my pellet...

I was checking on my 5 week old kits and noticed that one was lethargic, had very dull looking eyes and was significantly smaller than its litter mates. I pulled it out to have a look and saw a long (over 2 inches) string of what appeared to be feces and probably fur and puss attached to it's...

This weekend I found that one of my 11 day old kits had a clump of mom's fur stuck to its eye, and the area around the eye was quite swollen. I gently rubbed the fur off the eye with warm water and a cloth, put a few medicated contact drops (only thing I had on hand) on it, and changed the hay...

I've been given lots of good advice about my rabbits on here, so I just want to remind everyone to change their air filters MONTHLY. I work on air conditioners and restaurant/supermarket refrigeration for a living and I make a living on other people's dirt. Mechanical breakdowns account for...

I just got home about half an hour ago to find 2 dead kits on the wire, one mouth breathing (died on my lap) and three others in distress. I removed the nest box last night and they were fine when I left for work this morning. I had read to remove the nest box around day 17-18, and many other...

My 3-hole rabbitry has grown from 2 does and 1 buck to 3 adults and 12 kits over the past 3 weeks. I bred my pet rabbit a couple times almost 30 years ago when I was a kid, so this was my first real go at it. I know 3 local meat rabbit breeders (older gentlemen) and they all told me not to...

So my rabbits love the huge leaves that my mammoth sunflowers produce, and I'm just about to harvest 18 huge sunflower heads. From what I've read, BOSS is the go-to rabbit sunflower seed due to its oil content. Most other seeds are considered more of a protein/fat supplement. My rabbits are...

So I bought a bottle of Durvet Ivermectin 5mg per mL pour-on. Most people seem to give the injectable orally...I'm having trouble finding consistent dosage for the pour-on. I'm using the Ivermectin to replace her heart worm and flea meds, can anyone using the pour-on 5mg tell me their dosage...

This is my cage set-up. The hole on the far right (hay storage) is to grow out a replacement for one of mine and a converted yellow dog kennel (from her days of not being trusted alone inside all work day) will go on the left for freezer camp training. Red wriggler under-cage worm bed seems to...

Yesterday morning before work I was drinking a cup of coffee while hanging out with my dog and rabbits. Nature called and I closed but didn't latch a cage. When I went back out I had an open cage and no rabbit. She was sitting in the grass next to my cucumbers, my lab saw her and the chase...

I've been reading about Ivermectin and was wondering if anyone uses it? This isn't for my rabbits, but for my dog (yellow lab). Everywhere I've read, people praise this stuff. I plan on purchasing the injectable and giving orally to my dog once a month to eliminate all other forms of...

So I finished my worm bed and have 1000 red wrigglers coming in from Uncle Jim's Worm farm. My cages are pinned between the concrete of my back patio and my wood privacy fence. I cut treated plywood 12", loosened all the earth, surrounded legs of cage with the plywood and filled with good...

My 3 New Zealand Reds made 8 weeks today (the does will actually make 8 weeks in a couple of days) so I decided to weigh them. The buck is 3.3 pounds and my does are 3.0 and 2.9 pounds. They look great and have certainly grown in the two weeks that I've had them. Are reds smaller than whites...

I'll start by saying that I have limited rabbit dressing skills (new to meat rabbits), but have dressed out many animals and use knives daily at work and home. While reading one of the dispatch threads I noticed a couple of posts displaying knife envy. Try a Rada Cutlery knife and sharpener...

I've read plenty of claims that marigolds keep rabbits away from vegetable gardens, but have also found a few people claiming that marigolds (stalks, leaves and flowers) are great for rabbits. I would like to supplement my pellet/hay diet for my rabbits and marigolds grow like crazy year round...
