I'm sure this should be elementary, but are both these rabbits blue? One has a white undercoat, the other is blue all the way down. Here was one I kept back from another litter: As an adult, he has some subtle brown shading to his coat - could just be rusting from sunshine. I've...

I was delighted to see ShowRabbits.com advertised on RabbitTalk's home page. How nifty! I used to play online sims games. Who here plays this one? I signed up but shouldn't play yet until I get work done :D And I can't wait to show my friend http://www.buckingbullbreeder.com/. She...

I need two things. Rex Rabbit Fur, and a tanned Rabbit Ears. The easiest way to obtain this would be to buy a pelt that has been tanned with the ears on, but, I am not choosy at this point. This is for a Christmas gift (YIKES!! RUNNING OUT OF TIIIIME) and the ears will be detachable (It's a...

On top of the compost pile, where the freshest manure is emptied, dropped BOSS sunflowers sprout. They sprout all year around, but only survive until the next hard freeze. In the spring though, I take a shovel and carefully scoop deep enough to keep all the roots, and I transplant the sprouts...

There is such a thing as a Model Horse Hobby, where people collect plastic or resin horses. They show them in classes that mimic real horse shows. Competition in the plastic arenas can get just as fierce as it gets in real horse showing too. Some people repaint their horses. Some people make...

Zass, how do you feel about sharing that Caribou story? I am wondering if there are early signs to fur slip. I am halfway into working on a goat hide I got from family. The goat died suddenly and unexpectedly (stuck his head through the fence and a herdmate rammed him tooo hard :( Have heard...

As some of you might remember, I lost my Milo last year. Last month, and yesterday, I lost his sons. Milo & Zepol Decker Zepol The boys had health problems troubling them, it was hard to see them hurting. I kept hoping they'd get better. The Vet had assured me there was a chance...

Can anyone help me identify this burr? I have looked at plant and weed ID sites, seen photos from cockleburr to poison oak but can't find this one. I posted it to HomesteadingToday but so far, no luck. Here is what it looks like close up. Just a gentle brush against it will get you covered in...

I have collected many pelts from various critters over the years. Most went to the dogs as toys (I lived in WI where I could get nice fluffy stuff for cheap) (A subject for another day: Some tanning methods involve chemicals that aren't necessarily safe for dogs to be chewing on, but I...

Has anyone ever seen the Nelsen's "Creamello" Dutch at Nationals? I have only seen them on the Internet, but every time I come across them, I am intrigued with not only their looks but the history (I love to hear when mutations pop up). Has anyone ever owned any rabbits from Nelsen's line...

I wanted to share a video of my little REW Astrex kit. Really nice coat. http://youtu.be/6CBpZwbHU50 Here are fun comparison photos of Astrex vs. Mini Rex REW Kit in nest: Compared to a sibling that is not displaying curl: Cute Rump! A Curly Sibling:

I love to draw, and paint, and I have been doing logo work in Pen & Ink lately. But I love to sculpt, and below are some pieces I really enjoyed making. My animals are my inspiration, except for the Reindeer (that I wish I owned but at least we got to visit - SO PRETTY!) Here are a few items...

I saw this over at Homesteading and had to pass it on! :P http://nh.en.craigslist.org/grd/4218208723.html It's been up 4 days already. It must be magic; it hasn't been flagged! :lol:

MSD, I know you were thinking about Fancy Rats. I hope these tempt you into getting some =D (I know of a Harley breeder with Black Eyed Siamese and Burmese in Ogden, Utah for $10 each! Awwww! I wish we weren't so far away from Utah... maybe if we can talk an RVer into running critters all...

I am glad I have this forum to share with. I am hurting. Milo, the dog I have had since I was a teenager, was taken by a coyote Tuesday morning. I have heard it said "That is nature" when a pet is taken by a wild animal. NATURE?? This area has wild rabbits thick as flies. There are...

My poor Satin doe has had trouble conceiving. The time she was successful, I kept a doe from her. But her daughter failed to conceive at all. She was on her 5th try and when nothing came of it I made the decision to dispatch her and see if I could find some answers on the inside. When I...

My dad and I haven't seen each other for almost 15 years. Lately I've been thinking about him a lot, even got close to contacting him a few times. Then I had a dream that he had died. In the dream, I was so full of regret that we hadn't repaired our relationship in time. I woke up crying...

Anyone see this article? http://news.yahoo.com/furs-fly-chinese- ... nance.html If mink fur is up, perhaps chinchilla (if there *are* any chin fur farms left) and rabbit pelt prices could rise? Just wondering.

Remember Muppet? That krimpy, fuzzy little cutie surprise I had in the nestbox a while back? He has grown into this: **He's the big broken black one. The little one is his son! During the heat last year, he was sterile. Poor guy! But once the weather cooled, he sure made up for lost...
