I have no clue about guns (trying to learn though). I need a pellet gun to kill squirrels and dispatch rabbits. Could someone tell me what sort of specs I would be looking at (so its powerful enough to kill rather than just injure). Also, suggest some links to specific guns that would work well...

Is the meat safe?

When you butcher in the winter what do you do with the leftovers (guts etc.)? The ground is frozen and you can't bury it.

They looked blue, but now I'm not sure anymore.

I have some french angoras for sale. They will be ready to go in a few weeks. They are very friendly and love attention. I handle and play with them everyday so that they will be used to human contact. There are blue torts and self blacks. (bucks and does) I also have a 9 month old self black...

They were born this morning and she still hasn't fed them (6:15 now). Should I do something? Also, does that mean that I shouldn't take the nestbox out tonight because she didn't feed them?

I read that some people take the nest box out of the cage when its cold, then put it in only for the doe to feed them. Should I do this? They are in the garage and its about 10 degree Fahrenheit. If I should take the box out and keep it in a warmer place, then what time should I put it back in...

My french angora doe Mabel had 9 kits (1 died). This is her first litter and mine! She is a black tort and the buck it a self black. I'm really excited, because this is the second attempt to get her to have a litter, the first time she either didn't get pregnant or re-absorbed the litter. They...

Is this normal? I put the nest box in just in case, hopefully she will make the nest in there instead of where she is making it now.

My rabbit has some sort of skin problem where all the fur in that area has fallen out and there is crustiness. He is a french angora and is molting right now, it seems to me like he doesn't have another coat coming in under the wool coming out. I put some antibiotic on it until I find out what...

She made a nest and pulled fur. I read on another post (stimulating-birth-t18706.html?hilit=Emmenagogues) that some people's does take 35+ days. Do you guys think that there is still a chance that she will give birth? I was planning on waiting until day 40 to re-breed her, do you think I should...

She has made a nest and pulled fur. I'm 100% sure that she has not been bred. Is there anything that I need to do? Also, does this mean that she really really wants to be pregnant?

(I'm not sure if this should be here or in the wool rabbits section) I bred my french angora doe a week ago and was also in the process of plucking her. Now she won't even let me touch her and she growls if I try and brush her. So my first question is if I should be really worried that she...

I think that the breeding was successful. But I've never bred rabbits before, so I don't know. My buck covered her twice, but only fell off once. I read somewhere about breeding a doe again later to make sure that she gets pregnant. But if she took the first time and the second time would she...

My french angora buck is 6 months old and my doe is 7 months. I've read some people say that theirs were ready at 6 months and others saying that they had ones that weren't ready until 8 months. Does it really just depend on the rabbit?

Should you pluck the rabbit's fiber like the person is doing in this video? Or does it not matter if it is a bit more messy? It looks like this technique is very time consuming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oUw5YqYSRI

This is so exciting! I just started plucking my rabbit today and I've harvested my first bit of wool! It is a about 3 1/2 inches long. Is that good? He is a french angora and this is his first plucking. I would upload a picture but my computer is being dumb.

I think that my french angora is ready to start being plucked, but I'm new to this so I'm not sure. How do you know?

My rabbits will be in the garage during the winter. And during the winter we heat the garage with a kerosene heater if we need to work in there, (so obviously the heater isn't going 24/7). I was just wondering if this will be a problem, I don't want to find my rabbits dead or sick because they...

At what age can you tell the quality of the wool on french angoras? Can you sort of tell at 8-10 weeks (before they are sold)?
