I have to agree with @RabbitsOfTheCreek, if he were mine, I'd put him down. I'm a firm believer of quality of life over quantity of life, even for myself and although heartbreaking, his quality of life is poor at this point. Being prey animals, rabbits are also extremely adept at hiding their...

Welcome! This is a great forum with many experienced and kind people to help!

Doe should always be brought to the bucks enclosure.

Oh, and on the idea of tree loppers/clippers...nope, don't. I tried that AFTER rabbits were already dispatched just to remove the head and it didn't even work well for that, it would be horribly inhumane to try in my opinion.

The first pellet we tried was a .177 and it still worked, just make sure the fps is decent and test on a can to verify penetration. I can't speak in whether a BB gun would work or not. Straight down behind ears...not sure, I think you'd miss most of the brain matter. Now Straight down forward...

.22 pellet handgun for me. I started with the hopper popper (cervical dislocation) and although good, I felt it took me too much time to get the rabbits properly placed and it was sometimes a struggle which is, of course, stressful for the rabbits and for me. We switch to the pellet gun and the...

I had a theme going after the TV series 'Justified' but it fizzled out. My cane corso is Raylan (main US Marshall character) and still have Winona and Ava (breeder does). Besides a couple of one offs, I pick a lot of TV and Movie characters. Manny and Ellie for the two woolies (Ice Age...

Same!

Welcome! This forum has a wealth of knowledge with great people who have been an immense help for me. Enjoy the new journey!

My better half built me two of Teal Stone's growout hutches and I do have the shelves in them. So far I haven't run into any significant issues and have been happy with them but full disclosure, i haven't used them often as I prefer to keep my growouts in my small barn in my stackers IF I have...

We found discounted paneling at Lowes (warped due to water damage) and used that and although I do wipe it down periodically, I do expect to need to replace it within a couple of years. I really like what Alaska Satin did, I'll keep that in mind for a future upgrade.

I'm in agreement with everyone else who has replied so far. She doesn't need to be bred at 5 months old or even ever if she is a pet. My question is why do you want to breed her? Would these be terminal crosses destined for freezer camp? Are you thinking of pet sales? Ethical breeding practices...

I need to hit the lotto for a bigger building, septic/water and cages like those...😭

You've definitely done your homework and sounds like you're off to a great start! I definitely agree with going with the KW cages versus building yourself initially. I have Bass Equipment cages (equivalent in quality/price to KW) and am very happy with them. Make sure you get the GAV...

Oh man, so tempting! I raise Silver Foxes but if I ever brought a second breed in, it'd be Americans. 😭
