    Grapefruit seed extract?

    Do you know the concentration of GSE to other ingredients (vegetable glycerin) in the kind you use? I have two bottles of GSE, one labeled “citricidal” that’s 60% GSE, and one that is just plain liquid concentrate, 33% GSE. If I use the wrong one, I fear I will end up either doubling or halving...

    Pseudomonas bacteria. >:(

    Last summer, I posted about a litter of Rex kits I had that started sneezing, had two of them tested through PAVLAB and both came back positive for Pseudomonas. They were out of the main rabbitry in a separated grow-out area before they even started to sneeze at 11 weeks, I culled them all at 16...

    Recovery possible from Pseudomonas respiratory infection?

    Thanks for your advice, both of you. It's as I suspected. As for their environment, they are in a very well-ventilated area with natural tree shade and I keep up with the cleanliness and feed very fresh high-quality feeds. Other litters housed in this same area showed no signs of stress or...

    Recovery possible from Pseudomonas respiratory infection?

    Hello there, I have a question about a recent litter. Growing up they were all healthy, I weaned at 6.5 weeks as I have with all my other litters. Never had a problem with the other litters, but this one started getting the sneezes at 8 weeks old. Started with one kit, then the whole litter. I...

    Thanks, I didn't think of Calcium deficiency, I'll give that a try :)

    Lethargy in nursing does

    I use drop next boxes made of cage wire, so there are two levels in the cage, but the kits are very mobile at this point, so there isn't really anywhere for her to get away from them. It's 24" x 36". They are definitely still nursing. This is not her first litter, but it's her first litter with...

    Lethargy in nursing does

    I have a doe with 8 kits almost 4 weeks old. She's eating and drinking normally (she gets hay, pellets, fodder, and fresh grass), good appetite, checked ears, teats, mouth, feet, stomach, all look normal, just a couple of soft pellets/stools but mostly normal. Acting noticeably lethargic and...

    Rabbits being picky about Fodder

    So, I posted about having some mold issues with my some of my fodder, but am also having some feeding issues even when feeding nice clean fodder with no mold. Right now I feed primarily organic pellets and hay with fodder as a supplement, but want to have it the other way around eventually. I...

    Fodder growing too slowly?

    My indoor temp is probably about 55-60 degrees, average. It's pretty dry in the house. I don't have any problems with germination, just with slow growth. I've switched over to a smaller container and that seems to have helped some. The barley I bought is whole seed barley, not any kind of...

    Young buck humping arm?

    Well, mystery solved. I wear kevlar sleeves when handling all of them to protect my hands and wrists from claw scratches, turns out it's the sleeves that make him so feisty! Must be because they smell like the lady rabbits who I handle as well. I took them off yesterday and he didn't try to get...

    Fodder growing too slowly?

    Hi all, I got started with barley fodder a few weeks ago since I have heard so much praise about it's affordability and quality as a feed, I've been giving it in addition to pellets to my buns. I've heard it can grow indoors just fine, I have mine next to a big south-facing window, but they...

    Young buck humping arm?

    His testicles are not yet descended, which is an interesting part of the puzzle. The breeder is a personal friend of mine, I actually met him a couple of weeks after he was born when he was a tiny thing, so I'm quite confident that his age is correct. Born on 11/17/2015. He's an appropriate size...

    Young buck humping arm?

    Hello everyone, I'm new to rabbits as well as this forum, got three junior does and a young buck about a month ago (all californian) and have been enjoying educating myself and getting some experience! Just this past week I've had more time to spend socializing them, they are getting a little...
