I just noticed my rabbit start to have heavy snot today, with frequent sneezing, snot on nose/mouth area. That area's turned kinda brown now. Maybe from wiping it with dirty paws? 'cause the mucus is clear. And she's blowing bubbles from her nose, so I know it's not drool instead. So I...

...in your colony? I'm sorta new to this and still figuring things out in the process of transferring from cage to colony setup. So my question is, how do you mark them(male/female, cull later/keep, 1st gen/2nd gen, etc...)? I can't be going through the entire lot every time I need to...

Happy Birthday Maggie! :) And thanks for all the hard work you do in making this the best rabbit forum around.

Yes, move the hen, nest, and chicks, to the ground as soon as possible. They're a bit young to be jumping 3 feet. Sure, she can raise them herself. That part is no problem with chickens like it often is with guineas or turkeys. She'll be roaming with those chicks circling her in no time. Wait 3...

This was extremely helpful in telling the difference. Thank you!

I just found her a few minutes ago. I have no idea what happened. She was raised in the same way as all the other rabbits, fed the same, and everything else. Is this one of those not-common-but-not-unusual-occurrences? I can't think of anything that could have possibly gone wrong. But more...

I've been feeding my chickens with fermented grains and layer for a while now. And after seeing an article on adding rabbit pellets to the mix, I was wondering how rabbits would go for fermented feeds. Unfortunately there is no conclusive answer about this online, so I decided to ask here. It...
