OK I have a lot of contenders for this position. Including one of my jr bucks who was humping my lap as well as the table when a judge was looking at him. But his behaviour seems more directed at other rabbits. But currently this guy is taking the cake. I can't even take a photo of this boy...

First of all forgive me for any gaps in my knowledge, I'm an animal nutrition student but I'm still learning! I recently read a report on the 2016 corn crop in the USA that has me greatly concerned. Mycotoxins, which are fungal pathogens that can be found in any type of grain, but are most...

Hi all, it's been a while, and I never seem to have good news when I come here of course. I have this 2 year old hare doe who is concerning me constantly. She keeps going off her dry food and hay and just eating greens and nothing else. Seems like she'll stop eating, I forcefeed her/offer a ton...

I hope y'all like to learn about my weird issues with my rabbits I keep having.. So, Chardonnay, Belgian hare, 1 year 4 months about. Aug 8th marked day 28 of pregnancy (though I usually have babies day 30-31). Monday/Tuesday she spent most of her time laying down stretch out completely...

Ooooh we went to the feed store this morning, and there were so many! they were $3 each and after a lot of debate my mom decided she wanted them... we live in the suburbs so hopefully they stay quiet and not too smelly :)

Someone just told me the calcium in alfalfa hay will give a kit the runs and kill it. I've never heard this. I was always told young rabbits should have alfalfa to help them grow.

Ahh so I have a bit of a hate-hate relationship with my tan doe. She was not tamed at all when I got her and is super wild. She also absolutely hates every rabbit she sees, and does NOT want to be bred. On the flipside she is an amazing mum and super attentive. She tries really hard. Up until...

Ah I feel like it's nothing but trouble for me no matter what I do. These two girls were born on Friday, day 30, with 2 other siblings who were dead. The size difference has been there this whole time, it's hard to tell with the photos but one is half the size of the other. The smaller one, I...

My meat doe kindled 11 kits.. 1 has died and 1 is fading and will be gone by morning (I've been trying to help it nurse all day and it just won't).. she only has 4 teats that I can even find after 3 litters, they are quite well developed. But I'm not sure if she will be able to handle the 9...

Hi all, it's been a while. Last night I sadly had to cull one of my lovely hares. She had no easy life and it just kept getting worse to the point where I couldn't afford to care for her. Short summary of her life: at around 5 months she developed a serious cocci infection, very emaciated, her...

Hi all, I've just come home from uni and one of my baby hare does seems to be breathing weird or making a weird noise... it sounds exactly like wind blowing into a video camera if you guys understand what I mean. :) My mom of course says she never noticed it. Does it sound like a URI or...

Hello again, it has been quite a while since I have come on here. :D As much as I hate to brag, I may have had one of the most difficult starts with rabbits possible, so I wasn't really too eager to come share with others, however for now things seem to be going a bit better so I wanted to...

Hi all, An innocent inquiry for a breeding pair eventually turned into the breeder saying he's considering selling off most of his stock. Just asked what's available and pricing.. I would like to breed, show, sell, eat.. Saw a post here saying 3lb carcass at 12 weeks, which I guess is fair...
