Hi all, After much thought, I've decided to sell out of my pointed white Mini Lops. I've enjoyed working with them for the past 6 years, but times change and I'd like to focus on growing my chocolates & lilacs. And also work more with the reds. The pointed whites have come a long ways since I...

I don't think it's quite a gold-tipped steel. It is way too shaded looking for one. I'd say a sable, but more likely a sable steel. Flash on a sable or a sable steel can make their color look awfully funny. And by the way, there is no such thing as a sha-gouti. There ARE sable chinchillas...

Hi all, Would you like an apron or other clothing that is custom designed with your rabbitry name & info on it? If so, I can do it for you! I can do any design for an apron, or any apparel (hoodies, shirts, caps, etc) for $10. You can see the link below for more info or send me an email...

Yes, that's so true! That's why mine are in an insulated, air conditioned barn. Qadoshyah

Hey all, As some may know, I'm working on (with some other breeders) starting up an OK state rabbit breeder club. What are your club's constitution & by-laws? What did you use? And what are your membership dues? Any info will be very helpful! Qadoshyah

Penicillin should be given IM. Never orally and preferably not SubQ. Qadoshyah

I have a pole-barn style building for my barn (you can see it on my site: www.hoppinherdofhares.com/ourrabbitry.html) and it works great. You could do something similar (just the pole barn structure) & surround it with plastic for the winter. Qadoshyah

For those of you in Oklahoma and the surrounding states (AR, KS, TX, MO, etc) there is going to be a new club soon. A few of us breeders in Oklahoma would like to have more shows available than the only 3-4 shows a year that is typically out here. So, we are getting together with local breeders...

I had a pretty open barn before I have the one I have now. It was just cages in a fenced in yard with shade cloth on the sides & roof. I lived in the high desert of CA, so it didn't get terribly cold, but we did get heat & we got A LOT of wind. We had vinyl stapled or secured to the back of the...

How exciting! Qadoshyah

How close are you to Tahlequah, OK area? I know a breeder who has Production Whites/the Ozark line of NZs that are bred for optimum meat production. They are excellent meat rabbits, we have several from her. Just PM me if you'd like her contact info! Qadoshyah

I've never tipped a nestbox over either. I just pile hay up in front of it, so the babies have a bit of space to get in if they are young still. Qadoshyah

A small amount during pregnancy shouldn't hurt. I feed a large handful to my does after they kindle. It's all around a great herb for any kind of uterine/reproductive concerns. Qadoshyah

There used to be a Kismet Rabbitry....she bred AFL's, but she hasn't been breeding for a few years now. Qadoshyah

There's a few things you could try: Vitamin E capsules opened up over their food Apple Cider Vinegar in their water 14-16 hours of light a day Make sure they're in adequate weight & condition. If they're molting it could interfere with it some too. Qadoshyah
