I have never had to pay for it...the premium version you pay for but I'm not sure what the difference is but think it includes bug identification and few other things but not exactly sure as I only use free.

Brilliant minds think alike...my list came from same article...lol

Legume or Bean family: These are all kinds of plants, vines, shrubs, and trees that produce a pod that splits on a single seam. The leaves of these plants are some of the best feeds for rabbits because they are high in protein. Examples are leaves of pigeon pea, peanut, beans, cowpea, velvet...

Wolves do eat the stomach of small prey like rabbits, but when feeding on larger prey such as deer they tear the stomach open and normally eat the lining but not the contents..they have also been known to eat apples, watermelon and berries including feeding them to their young. Depending on...

Hi seeing as how I raise rabbits and own a 8 month old Great Dane and my mixed breed had a litter 3 months ago was wondering if you have fed your Dane this diet as a puppy...I am just looking to create a healthier diet and supplement some of their kibble to decrease my expense of buying tons of...

You could drill a small hole and zip tie it to cage wire to try and prevent her from moving it...sometimes it works and sometimes they just work at it so much they get it free...as long as she isn't tipping it I wouldn't worry, she should settle on a spot once babies come and no longer try to...

Only ones I don't pedigree are meat mutts...the price of my buns are not valued by pedigree but rather by type and quality...but either way I give the buyer the info on their buns lineage through a pedigree. Even if this bun is not what I would consider ideal the person buying maybe working on a...

I think this depends on what you are selling...if this is a meat sale of rabbits that you would possibly cull I sometimes will give discounts of 5 or 10 off a lot of rabbits but if these are pedigree breeders/show rabbits I'm much stricter on how low I will go..but regardless neither food, pet...

I wouldn't remove kits from mom until they are least 6 to 7 weeks...it may stress them too much. That being said I've had a doe that needed to be separated from her kits before that due to extreme loss in condition. I did rebreed her once more after getting her fully up to weight. She did ok...

I personally would never restrict feeding of ones so young...I have however taken a small one to feed separately on mom once a day for a few days if it looks as if it's being underfed or pushed off by others this can happen especially if it's a big litter. Mom only feeds a few minutes twice a...

I would not decrease protein for nursing doe....especially if losing condition..you're already adding fat with the BOSS.. My rex mom's are usually starting to wean by 4 weeks, sometimes earlier, so if yours are waiting until 6 weeks this could be part of problem as well..I would however extend...

The Chinchilla gene may have played a role in the lack of red in your Castors. But, these could just be variations based on other factors A,B,C,D,E are just the 5 common color locus there are others. And only test breeding or known lineage can help you narrow down the recessives they could also...

I have never had hair slip using alum... as long as the pelt was not compromised to begin with. And if that's the case it's almost impossible to save...I hear that stop rot can be used but I personally have never tried it. Alum will actually swell the hide setting the fur. I've only used alum...

Have you researched snuffles in rabbits? There is much information. Did the vet happen to mention this? It's basically what they call runny nose, sneezing etc.. in rabbits and can be anything from mild case and chronic or severe infection from pasteurella or strep bacteria...if this is the case...

I've not had my doe get crusty eyes but occasionally kits will get it from nest box....in cases I have had removing and changing out nesting material with fresh clean straw/hay and wiping eyes with a warm compress for a day or 2 seems to clear it up..hopefully just a case of nest box eyes..good...
