I have been using southern states 16℅ commercial rabbit feed for a year with good results. The last two bags had significant amounts of corn in the pellets. Is corn bad for Rabbits? I raise polish and silver fox. I have limited options for feed. I am able to get several different ones from...

Thanks I really appreciate taking the time

I have a buck that seems to show since of fur mites. He has a small scab about inch below his ears on his back. It looked like flaky skin. I have injectable ivermectin but would like to use topical. Has anyone used this effectively?

What do you all use to clean wood nest boxes?

I will try and get photos. I'm feeding the amount the original breeder told .e to give. Again 1/3 cup at night only. Oats or boss about tablespoon in am w hay. They don't look fat to me and judges never commented on that. .

I have two does that seem to not want to get bred (polish). I use southern states traditions 16% protein feed. They get 1/3 cup of grain. They get good timothy hay, BOSS and rolled oats. Each doe is bred to the same buck. Buck is one year old, doe one is 8 months old, doe two is year and half. I...

I could not agree more. I never used the pen design and there was no instructions at all. Nothing on how to clean etc.... I have a Kbatt and it came in a nice bag but thats all.

Kbatts tattoo pen with stock needle looks like it will go through the ear. Will it? Do I need to shorten the rubber at all?

What do you use to numb the ear before tattooing the ear?

My biggest concern is spoiling the meat in the heat. It takes me about 5 minutes to skin and another 3 minutes to remove insides. So say 10 minutes from start to when the meat goes into ice water. I think, fingers crossed, it will be ok. Hope some others that have butchered in the heat will...

I have pedigreed silver fox for sale. Both parents are black. The buck has some Chocolate deep in the pedigree. Doe has some blue three generations back. Asking $30 each. No transportation, No shipping

So I always try and butcher when its cooler than 60F. I have a litter of rabbits now that are 8 weeks old and no one is buying them so I will need to butcher soon. Any tricks or suggestions on butchering when the low is 74F? I butcher outside, I do ice down the meat right after skinning and let...

Thanks everyone!

Thank you all, things havent changed all that much I guess. I was used to getting the leg paper right at the shows. We are going to see how things play out with my daughter .... fingers crossed. If she shows in youth does she still get legs if she wins in youth??

So it's been 15 years since my last show. We are going to one local and wanted to make sure the procedure for check-in. Is there a table to check in if you already registered? Once checked in find my table and settle in. Anything else? If I win I will need to go back to the table to get arba leg...

Hay and pellets. Everything looks normal to me. Eats fine <br /><br /> -- Mon Jul 18, 2016 6:01 am -- <br /><br /> Just not sure about water intake.

We purchased some dwarfs a week ago. We are not used to these in size compared to our Silver fox. We use 1 pint water pans. The dwarfs were on bottles. The buck is drinking as I can see the water pan is down. I saw the doe drink once when we first put her in the cage. But she doesn't drink alot...

The dimensions I posted are directly from a cage supplier. I was not sure of the correct size for the polish/ dwarf size rabbits.

I have two breeds and I need to know what size travel/ show cages I should get. First - Silver Fox - I would think 8x16 individual compartments are ok. So one carrier 24"x16" should be ok?? Second - Polish - I would think 6x12 individual compartments are ok. So one carrier 24"12" is ok?

I have pine nest boxes and use three of them between the 6 does I have. When I remove the box from the cage I clean out all the nest material from the box. I wipe out the box with a cloth and let it sit in the sun for a day to dry out. What should I use to sanitize wood???
