This is VERY helpful, thank you. It sounds like it may be best for my other animals. We may even consider getting goats or sheep. There is other fodder I have fed only very limited to my rabbits such as a wild amaranth we have here (sorry, I have not been able to identify it well enough to know...

Hi! Did you continue feeding your rabbits pecan tree hay?

Ohhhh, I see I didn't think about people talking about which wood rabbits can chew on. DUH.

Thank you! I did only search this thread using the search function. I will go through these results as well. I appreciate your help.

I was reading through and wanted to comment that I did grow some of this and wow, it makes a huge plant even here in west Texas where I am unsuccessful with much gardening. The rabbits were not enthusiastic but mine are like toddlers. Except for willow and rose, everything else I have to give...

I searched "pecan" for this thread and it didn't come up. I am going to look back through to see if there is any general discussion on nut trees. I don't have access to pecan trees right now but I will so interested in finding out if that can be fodder. Where we are moving my cousin trims pecan...

I am thinking of building some tunnels/nests with Baltic birch. Trying to determine if it is rabbit safe for chewing. I've seen stuff built with it and been told by several people they use it successfully, just hoping for a little more anecdotal evidence it is okay.

My experience is similar. I have Dumor cages under cover and in use for 3 years. Mine are still going strong functionally. I use hog rings to reinforce the edges and corners (easier for me to do than J clips). I also add a spring latch. You do not want to trust the latches that come with! I...

I love mine! The Tamuk community debated about going for approval but finally decided not to do so. Even full Tamuks show a lot of variation. I have 3 bucks and 10 does and I could show you all three fur types and a range of head shapes. And their best qualities don't show on the table anyhow...

This is a casual map I keep that might help you. Also ask ask ask at feed stores. You can also try your county extension agent. If you find a rabbit breeder but they don't breed Californians, pick their brains. If they know a big New Zealand breeder, that person may know who breeds Californians...

It is a lot of work at times. AND my set up uses trays. I know, I was a noobie. When we move, no more trays!!!

My oldest lives in Oregon and what she just paid for a house - regular house - I almost fainted. BUT she did it!!! Yay for her.

I didn't read the whole convo but we are looking at land now in south Georgia and Yes, the larger the parcel, the less per acre in general. Our family is mostly in north Florida or we would be looking at places like north Arizona. In FL, prices triple and so do regulations and we want to be able...

Thank you so much!! I see where I got mixed up. I knew dibs and dabs of this but didn't realize that you didn't have to show the pedigree and that the SOP was THE thing that mattered. I mean, I knew that they were judged against it. So many past conversations make more sense to me now.

I have had an objective to feed my rabbits entirely off my own place. But that will have to wait now until we move (Texas to Georgia). Being in west Texas, I've had the most luck with tree hay - willows and mulberry that I micro-irrigate - and edible weeds. But this summer even with irrigation...
