Thats awesome I hate when they pull hair and its makes a small nest that comes all apart. The one ours are in is long and we think the two does who live together built it together and both had two nice litters. So we have two sizes together. Lol we didnt know they was there for day because they...

Hi neighbor its awesome to hear from you.. We actually are more in Copperas Cove off 190 towards Kempner. Glad to hear your in our area so you know what we are going through. We have the kits we are worried about and 13 small chickens with their mother in our greenhouse rather then our children...

Thanks 😊 thats what happen to a doe about a little over a week ago she had 4 on wire rather then on the fur she pulled and hay and they all died and then thank God these was born in another hutch with more fur and on more hay and its either 8 or 9 in there.

Oh wow stay safe. We made our 3 runs too of getting our chickens and rabbit's all water. 🙏

I just checked on them and they feel warm to the touch so added more hay and a took a thick tarp and wrap around the legs under the hutch so no cold air goes under them. Right now we are 21 degrees that feels like 9 and tonight is supposed to be 16 degrees. No we are in Kempner Texas. So its...

Thats a great idea 👍 I too had thought of using some feed sacks like that and I got under where the babies are and stapled some across the 2x4s to help keep any air away from them. We just pray we dont lose any of them we have 3 days of temperatures under freezing hitting tonight. Hopefully we...

The temperature here in this part of Texas is going to be hit with a cold spell for the next 4 nights with the temperature getting down to 20 degrees Saturday night and down to 11 degrees Monday night. The hutch that our kits are in are in a two sided hutch made off the ground open on oneside...

That sounds do able just need to find bigger water bottles then these small Tractor Supply ones they need refilled almost twice a day. I was thinking of trying those 32 oz coke bottles and see if those would last two days. 🤔

Just wondering this may seem like a dumb question but how many days does folks seem fine with leaving their rabbits alone to go out of town?? We have now down to 9 meat rabbits, 50 chickens, 7 ducks, 2 geese and 30 quail. We have never gone out of town for the day. We use to go on vacations 2...

I really think this is a good question for rather you raise rabbits like all of us or also raise chickens ect. We use to go on at least 2 vacations a year to the mountains but now we have rabbits, chickens, ducks, quail, and geese. So now we never get to go anywhere. We dont have family or...

We lost a young rabbit a few days ago which was sad. Not sure why but we are concerned due to she was housed with her mother and 2 other kits. I did open her up to look at her liver, heart and lungs and her liver looked good. But her lungs looked bad they where all splachi white and her heart...

Sorry didnt see this yes those did make it back then.

Thank you its always good to know these things for when our furry friends get sick on us.

I know what you mean ours are the same way 😆

Thank you we definitely will try this. We didn't know that cayenne peppers was good for rabbits. We knew they was for chickens so we add the flakes to their feed now and then too. They eat it up like its candy lol.
