Ya, I like that idea. Thank you!

That’s a good idea keeping it for other does. I hadn’t considered that. I sell a lot of things on Etsy so I tried to find some rabbit fur that people were selling for felting to see if that was even a thing and couldn’t find any listings. I think I might have seen a couple for some really long...

So, when I got my rabbits, I didn’t think about how much they would shed. I just cleaned out their cage and noticed just how much fur seemed to be going to waste. Now, as a homesteader and crafter I feel like there must be something I can do with all of that fur especially after another member...

Ok, thanks! My dad likes to work with wood so I’ll see if he can whip something together.

That’s good to know. They have a roof over their heads to keep them out of the weather but half their walls are just open wire. I’ll have to block up a couple of sides to keep them more sheltered.

Ok, thank you!

Thank you so much for this information. Do you think I should get them an insulated box to be in? All they have right now is a plastic kitty litter box so I don’t think that does much for them. They also tend to chew up whatever I put in their cage despite changing up play things and such quite...

So, the past couple of days it’s gotten unexpectedly cold very quickly. I got my rabbits this summer and never thought about what I would do with them in the winter. I have two of them (both bucks) in a large outdoor cage. I had to separate my two does some time ago so they are living in a...

This is really helpful! I’ll be sure to get them some little snacks and maybe just have them come to me first to get them. Thank you so much!

Thank you fo Thank you for all the great information. I wasn’t too sure about the leather gloves either, partially because I’ve never liked wearing gloves of any kind even when handling freshly split wood.😂 With what rabbits by accident was saying though I thought maybe I should try them but...

I definitely won’t hold them that way anymore then. I’ve done it once or twice when trying to figure out how to handle them but it never worked well anyway. I’m also a bit afraid to hold them very close to me. I can handle scratches on my arms and hands, but I’d rather not have them on my...

Ya, I have used their scruff to keep them in one place while they’re still on their feet but it just didn’t quite seem right picking them up like that. I think mostly because of what my mom has taught me. It makes me glad I haven’t done that more than a few times and that they’re still ok. I...

I also meant to ask, picking them up by the scruff won’t suffocate them right? I know my mom used to warn me against holding our large orange cat that way because she said the cat was too heavy to hold that way. I feel like my rabbits are close to being as heavy as that cat so I just wanted to...

I might have to go to harbor freight and get some then. I’m just afraid of pulling out hair because of how much they squirm. The more they do that the more I loose my grip on them until I barely have their skin.

I hadn’t considered the rabbits thinking I was a predator. That does make sense because the does I moved to another cage are much calmer with me now and their door is on the side instead of the top. Thank you for the advice.
