A few months ago we brought a broken black NZ doe home from what I thought was a reputable breeder and also brought home a case of snuffles. I now know to quarantine in this situation, but we were and still are relatively new to keeping rabbits. She was sneezing a little after a few days and I...

We try to provide the stun blow first before butchering and processing and are wondering what we are doing wrong because there is still the squeal from the rabbit. This leads us to believe we are not being efficient or doing it properly. We use a crow bar. Any help or videos or tips would be...

We have a NZ Doe, Verbenia, who kindled yesterday afternoon. After double counting we came up 12 kits! This is after one died, so 13 in total. Verbinia has had two previous litters of 6 and 7 kits. Our question is what to do now, we can't really imagine Verbinia keeping up with 12 kits...
