Our first litter in years! This is from a mixed Doe and Buck we picked up earlier this year. She has turned out to be a good mother so far, made a good nest and looks like everyone is getting enough milk. I am very happy to have a full litter survive to this point in mid winter, though it has...

My doe is due in two days, put the next box in Saturday and she has been working on a nest. Her cage is outside, blocked from the wind. Should I go ahead and place a heat lamp above the next box or not? She is a first time mother for me, but not a first time mother, she did fine with her last...

I have had a hard time finding a wooden next box locally. I want a wooden one for winter, I think metal is just too cold in the winter. So last night I built one. Don't know if this is my final design or not. It is all scrap plywood, I drilled a couple "drainage holes" in the bottom. This...

What type scale are you all using to weigh your rabbits? Where did you get it? Guy forgets his wedding anniversary. His wife is pretty upset and tells him in no uncertain terms that when he gets home she better have something setting in the driveway that will go 0-60 in under six seconds...

So here is the mixed breed doe we picked up last night. She is in great shape, if you have any ideas on what breed she "mostly" resembles, please speak up! And this is the kit she had when I brought her home. Every tribe and nation! The lady that I got them from said she had bread her last...

When my kids where young we use to raise rabbits, NZ white and Calf. they where great rabbits and grew pretty fast. But as I recall the meat was always a bit watery and never had a lot of flavor. A friend of mine just gave me some rabbit he had in the freezer that he raised this past summer...
