    New colony

    Not had to much trouble. Although all my doe are related or where raised together. When I introduce a new bun I watch to see if she gets along with the others, if not off to camp she goes. I keep the bucks in a seperate area of the run.

    Switching from crock to water bottle help please

    I use small dog waters. They hold a volume of water have the advantage of a crock easy to drink from, also in the Oklahoma heat give the bun a place to cool there ears. Put ice in the jug keep water cool for a little while.

    How to beat the heat ???!

    Have mine in an open dirt floor run where they can tunnel, and misters in the run. Work good 100+ days haven't lost anyone. It is kinda strange walking out into the run and not seeing any rabbit around :o , all underground.

    What to do with the extra parts from rabbit processing?

    We save hearts, livers and kidneys. Roll the pelts up and freeze them, going to try my hand at tanning. All te rest we freeze and send out with the nest trash haul.

    Joint rabbitry?

    Play it safe keep your rabbitry name to your self. There is nothing worse than developing a good rep just to have it distroyed by a "good frised :twisted:". You can keep your's and her's in the same place but not under the same name.
