So I was standing with the hose in my hand, peacefully watering my fledgling garden, when suddenly the mulch started to move. Being as how I did not plant any Mexican jumping beans, this needed investigating. Right between my peas and my broccoli, guess what I found? Can anyone give me a...

Please help me identify this weed in my lawn and flower beds. I need a positive ID, as I am trying to determine if it is safe to feed my rabbit. I initially thought it was a plantain, but all plantains have parallel veins, and this one has branched veins. Location: Chicago suburbs. Picture...

My new house bunny, Snack: His pedigree says Siamese Smoke Pearl. He is a Polish breed rabbit. Would you give him a different color? I don't know anything about rabbit colors. Someone asks me, I say "creamy brown" LOL

I went and got my new house rabbit this morning. However, I was unable to get a sample of his current feed. My thoughts were to just let him have hay (timothy is what I have) and fresh water for a day or so, then give him small amounts of the pellets I want to use, then slowly introduce some...

Not sure which forum this should go in, so I'll put it in the "catch-all" forum :) I am going to the ARBA show in Jefferson, WI on Sunday to hopefully find the perfect house rabbit for me. I have my breed selections narrowed down to a few of the smaller breeds. I won't know anyone there...

Don't have a bun yet (April 15th!), but I am trying to think ahead. I will have fresh greens during the summer with my garden, and can get clover and dandelion out of my lawn. But for fresh greens during the off season, I was thinking about sprouting some of the leftover birdseed that my picky...

I have a cage, pellets, hay, litter box, litter, toys...but no rabbit. Yet! Mostly finished setting up the cage tonight, and wanted to get opinions. The cage is 42" wide, 24" deep and 30" tall. I set it up with a BIG top level and small middle level, which can all be rearranged as desired...

I am designing a cage to be built for a rabbit-to-be. Most likely a dwarf breed, but possibly something a little larger. The one and only previous rabbit I've had was mostly loose in the house, and otherwise was in just a pen on the floor. This one will have to have a cage to live in when I'm...

Planning stages now, so nothing is set in stone. Would large concrete patio pavers on a bed of crushed gravel or sand be a good base for an indoor colony set up? Would provide straw/sawdust/woodchips on top, plus access to outdoor run. Would love to just have a dirt floor, but I'm worried...

This is way off in the future, as I'm not even living in the right state now. But I had an idea that I thought I would ask about. I want to try an outdoor colony, in zone 8 in the Pacific NW, so I won't be looking at any severe weather extremes. My idea is to pour a concrete slab, and then...
