I think I'm doing the packaging and freezing part all wrong, or at least, not very good. We butchered last night and I just stuck as many parts as I could in a freezer bag and put it in the freezer. Unfortunately, it doesn't look very appetizing now as the bloody water was still in the bag and...

Well, it's been a triple whammy or quadruple whammy maybe. Half of our rabbits are sick, with diarrhea, to the point of death. Each day it seems like there is another one getting bony and acting lethargic. Only one has convelesced. Here are the possible culprits: 1. The corn I fed them a week...

Thanks for the help everyone. I feel pretty dumb for my mistake but it will never happen again. Sticking to pellets, oats, blackberry and trees from now on. I force fed them some water and they all perked and and ate a few plaintain leaves. I'll keep it up and hopefully they can pull out of it.

They are about 6 weeks old. __________ Thu Aug 04, 2011 10:26 pm __________ I should probably mention what we have been feeding them. Lots of nasturtium and some corn on the cob...is the corn on the cob bad for them?! I thought that since I've seen it in rabbit feed it might be ok. We were...

I have a bunch of rabbit sick right now and I'm worried I've been feeding them the wrong things. We feed them pellets, but I also throw in scraps from the kitchen like corn on the cob (with raw corn still on it), cabbage, lots of nasturtium, arugula and kale. The older breeders are fine, but the...

I left on vacation and had my roommates take care of the bunnies for about 3 days. When I came back one died the next day of enteritis and a couple days later, two bunnies in a completely different cage, in a different location got sick with enteritis as well. I'm pretty sure it's becuase thier...

Our bunnies consistently have white spots in their livers. We have heard that these are parasites that are basically harmless, to the bunnies and to humans. We have also heard that they are getting them from eating grass and/or foraged greens - bird poop and slugs...is this right? Is it ok to...

I put my rabbit cages over my worm bin (permaculture style), but all the worms died! I'm sure it's because of the urine. Does anyone have experience with this? What can I do to make this system work?

Thanks everyone! I've been feeding my buns tons of greens and they are thriving so far. I will make sure to still have pellets available so I don't have to transition their diet too much when we don't have time to forage. I've been sort of going on my intuition on what I think they would like...

Howdy, I am new to the rabbit meat raising and getting some different info from other rabbit raisers. One guy only uses pellets with a few greens to suppliment, but he's been having abort problems. Another farmer who raised them for many years told me that he only feed them greens: tree leaves...
