    Nest Box Size For Giant Chinchillas

    One of my giant chinchilla does is pregnant for the first time. Two other GC does both lost half their babies on the last litters. How big should a nest box be (INSIDE DIMENSIONS) for GIANT breed rabbits like giant chins? I'm willing to make my own. Thanks...

    Is Timothy Hay With Brown Clumps Safe?

    Last two bales of timothy hay from Tractor Supply (Standfree brand) had significant amounts of dark brown within it. Mostly inter-threaded with the green hay, but also with some thick clumps of dark brown in color. Is this safe to feed to the rabbits? Ive fed them the hay with a little brown hay...

    Rabbits Not Using J-Feeders

    Put in Bass Fine-X feeders 4" high (cage floor to bottom of feeder) loaded with Mana-Pro Grow and they don't touch it. I can only get them to eat putting it in crocks. OK for now, but when the ten newborn kits grow up a bit what do I do?

    Rabbits and Geese in Same Shed?

    In a few months my geese are going to need access to the rabbit shed to begin laying their eggs, after which in a sectioned-off area immediately next to the (Bass) stacked rabbit cages within, a dozen goslings will be raised to the age of 6 weeks. Last summer (before I had any rabbits) the smell...

    Wheat Sprouts/Fodder and Protein Levels

    Looking at feeding my rabbits and Embden geese naturally. Wheat seeds are hard as nails (I could not break them with my teeth) so I've decided to process them in some manner first (the Book of Geese specifies grinding wheat seeds for geese). Either use of a roller, grinder, or sprouting seems to...

    Wheat Natural Feed Questions

    Can white wheat seeds be fed to rabbits without grinding them? The cheapest online source for white wheat berries (seeds) I've found was Walmart (at almost $1 per pound). Would rather go with oats due to their higher protein levels, but the rigging something up for kilning the oats (steaming...
