I have some New Zealand and New Zealand/Californian mixes for sale. 3-6 months old. These were bred for our freezer but we're having a hard time at the moment finding time to do it. Priced to sell: $15 for one, $10 each if you want more than one. Located in Hampton Roads VA.

I just kept guiding them to it. They'd walk on it, lick their feet, and then eventually realize it was food. Last night I tried the dropper bottle again (I put a kitten bottle nipple on the eye dropper) and they all took it without a problem so I just went with it. I will continue to try that...

I took the kids to the pool and dinner and then came home to find that we lost another kit. :'( So frustrating...especially with no signs of it going downhill. This morning they were all fighting being fed again so I gave them a chance to just drink the milk. They ended up sucking it out of a...

An update: The 5th doe that started to show signs started to act like she was getting better but eventually died last Friday. The day I made the original post we finished off the feed we had. *knock on wood* We haven't had any other problems since. I really hope it was just a bad batch of feed...

We lost a doe on the 6th. She had had a litter on the 3rd. I didn't have another doe w/litter to foster to so I've feeding them the evaporated goat's milk/corn syrup/egg yolk formula. I lost 2 but the remaining 4 are doing great. They will be 2 weeks tomorrow. A few days ago they finally learned...

Mostly pellets but also chicken feed (they live with our hens and they steal the hens food and the hens steal their food at times), but they also get scraps from the kitchen, and hay (more in the fall & winter)/weeds (more in the spring & summer). All the same food they've had all their life.

The white you see in that eye is actually like a discharge or something, not the eye itself. There are no plants in the colony. They've been long gone. They're just on a dirt ground.

In the last week/just over a week, we've lost 4 does, all were 1-2.5 yrs old. Our does live in a colony set up so I made sure to open them up to see if I could figure out why, and prevent more from dying. Lungs, liver, etc all looked normal in all of them. However, they were all very bloated...

Today is the last day for voting! At this point I only need about 15 votes to be in the running. Remember, you can vote daily so you can vote again even if you voted earlier this week. :D

Thanks! I'm quite proud of that picture. That was one of the chicks that I hatched in a home made incubator. I had been working on my photography skills and the picture was taken on the manual setting of my DSLR.

I've entered a picture of mine into a photo contest and could use some votes. Last night I checked I was at #16. I need to be in the top 10 to be in the group of finalist the judges pick from. You can vote every 24 hours and voting ends Friday. Thanks in advance...

I'm in Chesapeake. Honestly, I don't know all the kinds of hay so I've only sent hubby looking for alfalfa or timothy hay...I can't lift the feed bags so I send him. lol Southern States use to sell alfalfa in these big bags. It was compressed but broke off in squares. They were perfect for how...

I am in the market for a better place to buy hay. I have been buying these mini bales of timothy hay (http://www.amazon.com/Kaytee-Timothy-Ha ... B000256606) for my rabbits. I've been buying them at Walmart b/c that's the best pricing I've found so far (better than the local pet stores, feed...

I didn't notice a strong smell but I'm also getting over a head cold and am still slightly congested. It is interesting that this is what you're saying. These kits weaned at 4 weeks and after we lost a few I searched and found out about weaning enteritis. I made most of their diet oats and hay...

My does had litters 2 months ago (Dec 3-6). There were 24 babies...one was a still born and one died a day or two later, bringing us to 22 kits. They did great until 3 weeks old. In the next week, we lost 4. Since then, we've lost 7. 1 of the 7 jumped from my arms on concrete so I know why that...
