I have/had a year old American/New Zealand cross rabbit who has had 1 healthy litter. Several weeks ago she started looking unstable, then progressed to being off balance and falling over and stumbling around as if she were drunk. Today I found her unable to walk to the food dish, so I culled...

I was so disappointed with that debate... My hero, Joel Salitin, came across as an idiot. The whole premiss was flawed from the beginning. Neither side could show real causation of any bad or good health effects from eating or not eating meat. AND the studies that were profiled all used...

They look pink and purple to me... :)

What do you do with Hedgehogs?

I always got black babies when I bread to my black buck.

Great decision to switch to colony! I've had a colony for 4 years now and love it. I don't keep my buck in with the does because I was over run with babies, no production problems here. You will want to put some smaller wire around the bottom of your pen as the babies will go right through...

Why don't you write an article so that more people can follow you example?!?

I had three does in a large colony, but after the last batch of babies, one of the does (Alice) started to get really violent towards one of the other does (Kiwi). I finally had to separate them buy building an annex onto the colony and moving Kiwi out for her own protection. Even with lots of...

I posted earlier about sharing hair in colony nests and winding up with a baby with a broken back due to a doe scuffle. Anyway, this little bunny (4 weeks old) is pulling itself around on it front legs and seems to be doing ok. Does anyone have experience raising crippled rabbits? How do...

I have three does in a colony who all had litters within two weeks of each other. One of the does (Kiwi) didn't build a very good nest so I borrowed some hair from another does (Alice) nest to make up the difference. Because the borrowed hair had the scent of the Alice on it, Alice thought...

Wow. pretty though.

IF you can find a pair of used snow skis, they are perfect for the bottom of the tractor. You just need to make sure to put a solid surface down when dragging so that the rabbits feet don't get caught.

When I ordered my Wringer, I felt the same way... I watched the slaughter video on the Wringer site about 1,000 times before I attempted to do it myself. My biggest fear was that I wouldn't pull hard enough and would end up injuring the rabbits instead of killing them. At first I vowed to...

Yes Miss M, exactly... I have about $950.00 worth of rabbit in my freezer right now.

I think you all should ditch the cages and systems and raise your rabbit colony style. It's so much easier, and with much less maintenance provides a healthier environment for the buns... One (large) food dish, one (large) water tub and one (large) pile of hay. Have a look...

Wow.. Brilliant. I just ordered some! Thanks for sharing this.

I was shocked to see that rabbit was going for $11.30 per pound in Nor Cal.

I have a American does who makes grunty pig noises when she eats, but is perfectly healthy.

Looks like a cross to me.
