    Is 24" too shallow for Medium-Large rabbits?

    I make all my cages 24" deep, because of accessibility for moving young rabbits, and for cleaning. ** also make the doors big enough, and centrally located.

    New Kits, Nursing Mom, What to feed?

    If she is doing well on what you are feeding, don't change it ... Keep watching her condition, as lactation uses a lot of calories.

    Can I use just wood shavings in a nest box?

    If your rabbits are eating a lot of the wood shavings, maybe-they are short on long stem fiber. They might need some grass hay, or tree branches to eat.

    Hi I’m new to breeding rabbits and I have a few questions

    Your doe is most likely pregnant. You need to write the date down, and then make sure she has a nest box with bedding material in it, on day 28. If you put the box in early, there is a good chance she will use it as a bathroom, and/or her bed. Fears of defects, because of infrequent...

    Getting Off Pellets: Some Questions

    Quote, "What should I look into adding for fiber? We're going to be getting a few bales of alfalfa soon, I'm not sure if loose hay is better than the cubes fiber wise. I contacted the co-op today to check on their availability of wheat, oats (to see if theirs are cheaper), barley and milo so...

    Female rabbit rejected one newborn and bit it's ear off!help

    you are doing fine... in the beginning -feeding smaller amounts, more often, is good. After the kit survives a few days, and you see it is accepting the "new formula", without developing troubles, you "can" feed a little more, less often. I would say... if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Where to find stackable cages

    I have made quite a few cages. If you want stackable cages,in a metal framework, with deep slide-out litter pans. $100 / hole,-[ for 24" deep, 36" wide cages ], is not bad at all. The "good wire" is expensive, and making "quality" litter pans yourself, is both expensive and time consuming.
