    Degenerative mielopathy? GOLPP!

    Anybody has any experiences with this? We are in an initial stages of "diagnosis" (officialy it can be diagnosed only with autopsy :( ), CT with myelogram is perfect for a 10 year old, so we send urine and blood samples to Laboklin to determined whether he has the gene or not. Wobbly back...

    Fresh clover/alfa alfa

    Do you feed it and how much? Do you mix it with other greens? I don`t know if it is true or it is just old wives tale, but here it is said that fresh clover causes bloat in goats and rabbits (my sheep dont want to eat it at all) if fed in high amounts so I was always really careful not to give...

    Hens

    When hen wants to sit on the eggs and have chicks (how do you call this, so I can google more?) and you don˛t want her to, how to prevent it? We put her under the bucket without food and water for a couple of days, but I am sure there are better ways of doing this.

    Great idea - feeding & potty station

    With a little modification like plastic pan underneath so you can directly empty it on the compost, this would be very useful thing for colony style rabbits. How do you handle feces in your colony? Pictures welcome :)

    Thank you RT + URGENT!

In half an hour, 4 are alive and 1 is a "maybe". Now, I don`t know what to do. We dlon`t have a dryer so i have them in the owen, but on...

    Sick hen

    Leghorn hen looks like she has problems with balance, most of the time is sitting on the floor with a high raised tail, but when she gets to walk it is like she is being pulled forward and collapses to the chest. Who knows what could it be or what to look for?

Today we were working around the hutches, there was dust and allother stuff that can irritate rabbits nose, and I saw white nasal discharcge in one of my youngsters.

    My poor over-heated animals

    The last couple of days my dog was just begging me to do something about the heat, so I shaved him for the first time in nine years. And, this is the first time in, hmmm, forever, that he is not lying on the floor tiles. I remember all of the times I wanted to snuggle with him on the couch and...

    Quarantine

    I have a posibility to get a beautiful buck (almost exactly like Preitler has 8-) from my fellow breeder. I breed my does to him once, I know the buck for almost a year and I see him at least once a month. He is healthy, share germs/viruses with my herd (didn`t wash hands everytime I came from...

    Blood

    How could it be possible to use blood? I saw some guy on the TV yesterday who made pancakes and instead of milk he used blood. I know only one recipe containing blood- black pudding, but I would really like to use every part of a rabbit so I am wondering if you have any recipes?
