It took me a while, and my contacts dried out, but I got through all 391 posts and so far my main question has not been asked. I see that the water should be changed every four or five days, depending on how it looks and smells. Where do you get your water from? I am on town water which is...

I started off with the cervical dislocation method but found even with a bleed out there was still a lot of blood in the shoulders and neck meat. I moved on to bopping, using a tapping block for installing click flooring, and was happy with the lack of blood. Although I had a few that took a...

Hey everybody, My year and a half old NZW buck has decided to stop eating and drinking. I noticed it when I rolled into a different type of feed from a closer supplier that his food consumption slowed and stopped as well as his water intake. After close to a week i switched back to the...

One of my does, a Cali, has started dropping big "berries" that cannot fit through the cage floor. She gets a hand full of hay a day on top of her six onces of rabbit food. Anyone had this issue or have any idea how to fix it? Thanks Matt

Here is my issue. I picked up a buck and two does at Easter time and one of the does has started sneezing and has snot on her nose. I had heard her sneeze before a couple of times but chalked it up to dust when feeding. The three of them have shared water nipples and the two does were in one...

I used the 2x4 wire fencing method I found in these forums and picked up a few rectangular plates from the dollar store for right underneath so the hay leaves are not wasted through the bottom of the cage. I had originally used the brown clay ones but the rough texture and the light weight let...

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks Tegan

I am rolling over to water nipples on bottles from water bowls. Is there any good way to do this and make sure the rabbits dont dehydrate? I also have to split up the two females into different cages. Same question as above: is there a best way to do this? Thanks Matt

Thanks MSD, How related are we talking about. I figured to get the buck and does from separate places to avoid inbreeding. What level of inbreeding is ok with rabbits?

Thanks for the replies and those links were great.

Good morning, I am planning on getting out to pick up a buck and a couple does today but got into reading abut Charlie's as I fell asleep last night. Now as I am trying to get down my first cup of coffee I am reading to much about EnEns, enens, SiSis, and more genetic short forms which ill need...

Haha. Just bought the same ones this morning. Keep us updated with your errors and success's. Matt

Thanks for the confirmation Ann. The rabbit eating less of the pellets if there is grass etc was what I expected. I plan to have a small room at one end of their areas for cover and a nesting box. The rabbits will stay in the tractor overnight. This is to make it easy for someone else to...

Winter plans, as of right now, is to increase their pellet intake during the fall and feed them vegetable cutofffs as a supplement.

Hello, I am just getting into raising meat rabbits and have a couple Ideas along with question. I would like to tractor my(future) rabbits as I am Dutch and would like to keep the cost of food down so tractoring seems like a good idea to me. My plan is to have one tractor for a buck and two...
