    Withholding food

    wouldnt that depend on the cage bottom type? Just thinking about my cages in particular; they are self cleaning open bottom cages so there are no decals.

    How much do you pay for feed? --per mods: NO POLITICS IN THIS THREAD.

    the feed I use retails for 26.99 for 12 lbs of pellets. I know the owner so they sell it to me at cost 12$ for 12lbs. It is not cheap. Yes i could buy cheaper feed and certainly find less expensive options at the feed store but I am finding it impossible to find GMO free feed in Canada. So I buy...

    Withholding food

    Im going to agree, I wouldnt bother feeding pellets, I would offer hay and water however. I offer hay because it is always available and keeps them busy over night. Thats just me. As for pellets it doesnt seem necessary. Rabbits dont evacuate thier bowels after death much like Preitler said, and...

    Tell me about chickens in the rabbitry. Pros? Cons?

    I have chickens in my rabbity! I have one building divided into two "rooms" My cages are also suspended but double tier. The pros: All your chores are in one place.

    Cervical ☠️ Dislocation vs 🐰 Decapitation

    Thank you for the choke chain video, this was a beautiful and kind dispatch. I use the bolt stunner. Much like the video I hold bunny and keep them calm and give love and when they are relaxed I dispatch quickly and they never saw it happening. I will keep this new method as a future option.

    Foraging plants for 2 giant rabbits & raising them in an apartment room, is it possible?

    I think the smell will become an issue when the babies come. they are constantly peeing and it gets everywhere! I don't see much use litter training the babies considering they are to be used for meat.. but that's just me. Foraging 100% of their diet will be hard because like many have...

    Stillborn

    my first time I experienced 2 still births, it is not easy. I tried the chest compressions but this did nothing. Sometimes it is just nature, and we have to move on. If you did revive them what's to say they wouldn't be compromised in some way. Im sorry you went through this, try doe again and...

    Question about falloffs

    Good thinking, a neutral cage might be best. You can also swap them: put him in her cage and her in his so they get used to each other's scent. Then put him back in his cage with her and see if that helps.

    Damp 🐇 Pellets

    very cool setup! thank you for sharing!! I honestly don't know why I decided grain free, I think it evolved from me wanting to avoid GMO's and turned into a bit of an obsession TBH. I do now have access to non-GMO grains and want to start incorporating them as many folks do feed grain. Also my...
