I have a herd sire that is about three and a half. He is a big bruizer rex at 9.5 pounds. I only feed him half a cup of feed and hay a day and only hay on wed. and Sat. The thing is the hide over his shoulders is thick, so thick it's hard to get hold of him. I see nothing wrong with his...

I was removing two kits to wean together and felt what I thought was a poo stuck on ones belly fur, and was horrified when I looked at it and felt how big it was under there (dime size hard lump). I just knew it was a dang warble. I have only found one other on on any rabbit I have had. I...

I so feel for you. I sold a sr chocolate doe rex last week that was one of the first rabbits I ever bought. I hated to do it but honestly I have three of her daughters that are actually probably just plain better than she is now. I also let go of a holland lop doe that I raise for awhile...

I sprinkle pellets in the box once the eyes open. After that first kits get out of the box, I put small bowls of pellets and water about 7 inches from the end of the box. I want them to find it if they manage to get out. They are usually all out and eating from bowls by two weeks old. I get...

I had a doe that somehow managed to injure herself and lost both her bottom teeth. They never grew back. Only time will tell if this will straighten out. My doe had to have a water bottle or her chin area was always soaked when we had water bowls for her. THe water bottle stopped that problem...

since vineger is largely antiseptic and some say antibacterial I don't see why you had a problem with a sewer smell. I for one don't use it and feel its kind of one of those wonder products, and I am a little skeptical of all the claims made for it. Anything from curing illnesses, increasing...

agreed can't be a happy animal.

Good that's what I thought. Just woolers anyhow but nice to know.

Here is a pic of the litter. I felt they all just looked the same at birth.

Two of my satin angoras. both parents are choc aguti, but have red , chin, cream ,and white in their peds. I think they are all different shades of choc. aguti. but if not let me know. Some are much redder than others. Will post more later. The one on the left is much more red than the other...

Silage is made from corn. It ferments the sugar in the corn and it basicly make a sour mash that preserves it. I have heard of chickens that drank the run off and got drunk. I would think if a rabbit could eat it, it would. THey tend to know what is good or bad for them. Me, I would think...

Pellets are hay.. If you cut hay down to twice a week,and only a hand full at that, he will eat more pellets.. I feed hay only twice a week to my grow outs. Once they hit their desired weight then I feed hay full time. I have never ever had a problem and my rex kits usually hit four plus...

I would just buy culls from people at a dollar a pound live weight. Mine cost me more than that to raise but the better show quality rabbits make up for the loss on the meat culls. If I was going to raise meat rabbits I might try just raising them on alfalfa grass hay to off set the price of...

There should be some rex in tn. Check the arba website for breeders and also some of the facebook groups. There are transport groups all over the place and you could surely find some.

Another thing to watch is your rabbits weight.. Once in a while I will have a doe really heave with a large litter and her hocks can get touchy. Once the kits are born and weaned it goes away. My buck right now has a case and he is WAY to heavy. It just got away from me. He has a large towel he...
