I used a piece of cage wire affixed to the top of the bowl just wide enough for the bunny to feed. You can tie it down whichever way works. Cut a hole in the wire to allow the bunny to reach the food but narrow enough to prevent digging. Try 2" x 3" first. If still a problem, I would try 2" x 2"...

I want to purchase meat stock rabbits for breeding. NZ, Cals or Altex. I will be traveling to the USA for pickup.

What breeds do you have?

Hi everyone. Looking for rabbits to buy. Thought of Florida first because state is closest to me but I am willing to travel to other states. Starting up a small commercial operation so I want efficient meat stock. Cals will do too or similar white fur efficient breeders. I am building the...

Hi everyone. Who on here is in Florida? Looking for some meat rabbits to buy. Aiming for stock with market weight of 5lbs by 10 weeks.

Look at Grumpy's setup and the Cross Roads' Rabbitry setup (site was taken offline so use the Wayback Machine for browsing old pages). Cross Roads and Grumpy provided me with most of the info I got for setting up my rabbitry. And then the other Rabbit Talk guys and gals. And purchase a good...

Yeah, was me looking for FW and NZW in Florida.

I would have a moral issue representing my stock as top quality if they are not good enough for me to keep. If you are culling them because they aren't good enough, then being honest with the buyer won't bother you. If they are good enough to be your competition and you don't want to add to the...

Careful about leaving them unattended for long. I have a family friend who lost his buck's genitals to an annoyed doe who was left overnight in the cage. Yours is four months old (May to September). Sometimes they don't kick in until a little older.

Not seeing where you are but I sometimes use dried coconut husks. They like gnawing and flipping it. Also see them doing it with cardboard (the brown, corrugated type). Another member here use small coconuts that fall off the tree.

Rabbits should not be placed in direct sunlight in hot locations/weather. I have raised sisters together who only started fighting once they reached adulthood so be careful to watch for bloody ears, missing hair etc. since they won't always fight around you. The rabbits can chew through chicken...

I use a piece of 1" x 3" lumber about 2 feet long and place a swift hit between the ears from above while they are calm on a table or the ground makes the process quick and cheap.

I use the FineX feeder (not FineX2) and never have to empty the fines because they don't accumulate. As someone else said, got any birds? I had goats and they liked the fines that fell to the floor. They also would attack the feeders but that is another story.

I actually brought the buck home and placed him in a separate cage for a couple of days then placed her in the cage with him. I did not want to stress her then place her in a cage after traveling under stress with a buck.

Which nipple do you use? I can't get a straw in mine. <br /><br /> __________ Mon Aug 27, 2018 1:43 pm __________ <br /><br /> What nipples do you use?
