Anyone used K&W as a cage supplier ? I ordered a bunch of replacement cages from them on September 28 and my order appears to still be "processing" .... more than 2 weeks later. I'm slightly annoyed. They didn't waste time in debiting my account. Probably should have asked here before making...

I use Kintraks to track everything .... Have used it in the past to generate pedigrees to send via email .... For some reason I cant get the thing to work now. Anyone who uses it or knows how able to walk me thru the process of saving the ped to the desktop so I can attach it to an email ?! I...

This little blue doe was born in April of this year , the results of two years of work getting some decent shoulders in my Rex herd .... A step in the right direction ?? Photos aren't very good .... She almost looks lilac here. That's what I get taking pics with my phone .... indoors because...

I'm considering trying to sell what I don't eat yet retaining the hides .... Figure posting the following on cragslist (misspelled intentionally) might do the trick ?! Meat rabbits / Rabbit meat - $20 Meat Rabbits , sold live $20 , butchered at no cost - I retain the hide. Typical...

My does recently provided me with two litters , one of which had a couple that weren't getting much if any milk & fell way behind their siblings in development , to the point that they were struggling to move so I felt the need to put them out of their misery .... I'd never had to do this before...

Hadn't had a litter since January due to multiple issues - random events in real life , being kept away from home for two months in June & August and a heat sterile buck. Finally had two litters delivered yesterday and last night. One of those being my Altex/Nz/Rex project from a massive doe...

So yesterday when I went to check on my rabbits in the afternoon , I observed one of my does acting as if she was nest building with the small amount of hay that was in her cage to eat. I watched her for quite a while and that's exactly what she was doing , thing is she's not due for two weeks...

I bred two does on 8-28 , neither had litters , bred two does to the same buck (my only buck) on 9-12 , my palpating skills are .... bad but I don't believe they took either tho I could be wrong. I assume the issue is due to the heat , its had been in the upper 90's for three months prior to...

After watching my fruit tree's and garden produce much less than they should have , a ~20ft tall Santa Rosa plum tree didn't produce a single plum , squash had to be hand pollinated or it withered on the vine , same with watermelon & cucumbers. Realizing part of the problem is a lack of...

Have a doe that's sneezing but shows no other symptoms of illness , have moved her to quarantine and been observing her for the last 7 days or so with no changes. There has been no snot or discharge , just the occasional sneeze. Wondering if its disease or something else causing it as its not...

This is a first for me , silly first time doe having her kits on the wire. Found 10 in the cage , one on the ground & not sure if the dogs got any , its quite possible. My kids found them within roughly an hour after birth , all were alive. Doe didn't pull any fur at the time and still hasn't...

Over the weekend I started processing my first batch of hides. Since this is an experiment for me , I decided to only use my meat mutt hides and save the rex for a later date when I have a clue what I'm doing. After weeks of searching , I finally located a supply of Alum at a hardware store ...

Lost a kit this morning (born 1-19-14). Have no idea why. No signs of injury , just dead in the nest box. It showed no signs of stress and had been eating pellets / hay along with moms milk. The rest of the litter appears perfectly healthy. First time I've lost a kit at that age that was...

Just wanted some outside opinions of this Rex buck I'm considering keeping , seems to be very well put together , don't worry about hurting my feelings , be critical if you see flaws. He was born 11-10-13 , so he's a couple days shy of 10 weeks ... weight is just under 6lbs.

I need a crash course on removing the silver skin from a carcass .... quickly / easily. I tried one today and struggled with the task. It was about an 8 month old rabbit ... maybe a little oder than ideal.

`So my son finished our rabbit barn (pics to come soon) and stocked it with new cages , even have a couple empty for the moment , we all know that wont last long. I intend to put quail in the cage that had previously housed my does and their litters as its plenty of room to house a good number...

Figured I'd share these .... Not great poses as they didn't cooperate and I didn't have an assistant. The first two are all that survived from my very first litter born 10-10-13, she had 12 and suffocated 10 thinking the nest box was a sofa. This was a proven doe , cant for the life of me...

I've got two meat mutt does from the same litter that were bred back on the 8th of November. They were both very friendly prior to breeding. Meet you at the cage , begging for pets .... damn near crawl into your arms friendly. One has delivered kits and so far has been a very good mother and is...

I often notice my rabbits licking their water containers and other things (often my hand) and get the idea they may be lacking some minerals in their diet. Wondering if this product Sportsman's Choice Record Rack Apple Flavored Salt Brick is Ok to give to them ?!? Here's a link to it at TSC...

My lilac rex doe had a littler of three last night. This is her first litter. I figured as big as she was she'd have more , she's close to 11Lbs .... but they are fat and healthy and she hasn't suffocated them like my other doe did losing 10 of 12 by laying up in the nest box. This is only my...
