    Skinny buck with round belly

    My older Am Chin buck is almost 3 years old. I have had him for about 8 months, he has been a great breeder. He has gone from 9 1/2 lbs to 10 1/2 lbs in the last 2 months but feels skinny. I can feel his spine and hips a bit. He eats, drinks and poops normal. He gets hay daily, he won't eat all...

    Update on the eye

    Today my beautiful Chins eye is looking much better. We did saline washes and then a chamomile, borage, black tea eye wash. Today it is not angry red only slightly pink and the swelling has gone down by half. Not in the clear yet but it is looking good. She can close it easily now and seems...

    Eyelid red and swollen

    Last night my husband moved one of our AM Chin girls to a lower and larger cage. She was fine when we moved her. This morning when I was feeding them I noticed her right eye is swollen. Upon further investigation it seems to actually be her eyelid. It is really red and bulging. Not sure...

    These are my latest litter. This cross has gained weight better than my others- which include NZ x CA and Satin x CA, but I know it all matters what your stock is. I wish the grey and black were does..both bucks :( We will be processing at the end of this month or so and that will be the...

    Update on my barking blue

    I previously posted on my American blue that was barking. I do think it was an aggressive/discontent noise. She is out of quarantine and healthy as can be. She is being much nicer to me now, I respect her cage entrance and don't put my hand in to far. That way she can come up to me when she...

    Grow out ??

    Curious what everyone does. I know it will vary but I am interested to see and get ideas. When do you wean? What size cage and number of rabbits per cage? What age or weight do you process at? I myself wean at 5 or 6 weeks. I either put 3-4 in cages at are 24x24 or 24x30. I have a 36 x 24...

    Rabbit barking?

    Sorry if this is long. I have a new rabbit (American blue doe) that has been in quarantine for 4 weeks now and she is about 4 1/2 months. She seems totally healthy and shows no signs of illness. Her coat is soft and smooth, eyes brigh and clear and nasal passage clean. She has acted a bit...

    Are kiwi leaves and vines rabbit safe?

    I have two kiwi plants that are taking over and I would love to feed some to the buns. I know grape vines and leaves are okay but what about kiwi vines? :hmm:

    Craigslist ads

    We have listed in the farm and garden section and sell out each time. I think this is one of the best ways to get your rabbits sold. We don't sell for show or pedigree, mostly meat breeding stock, but we have sold out from each of our ads. Make sure to be clear on your listing what your...

    Large litter of 13

    This is my does second go. She is a CA and I crossed her with an AM chin. She had a large litter of 13, her last one was 8. :up: Luckily I had another doe that only had 7 kits, so I split the difference and they now both have 10. They all seem healthy. All my other litters have been 8, so...

    Realistic growth rate...

    I hear about getting rabbits to 5 lbs in 8 weeks, but does this actually happen? All of mine are taking about 10 to 12 weeks to get there. I have Californian, meat mutts, and Cali crosses with NZ and soon to an AM Chin. I do feed a partial natural diet, maybe that is it. They are all between...
