I was taught to whack them on the back of the head... (HARD!!) ... I was shown the Broomstick for the first time yesterday... I have to say ... I am a fan of the broomstick... easy, quick and sure.....

All I can say is ... I'm sorry you are going through this.... Sometimes you will never know the "why" Rabbits have taught me a lot regarding accepting things I cannot change and struggling through disappointment. It has also brought me great satisfaction and great friends! I suggest is...

All my cages have 1"x0.5" 14g or 12.5g wire bottoms... they all have plastic resting mats and only does with litters have a box (either hanging from the cage or in the cage) No matter if it's wire or wood, some rabbits are just dirty bunnies.... If you have a "house" for them to sleep in...

I thought I would share some photos of the Harlequins and the Czech Frosty show. There were 4 Harlequin Breeders with a total of 31 rabbits on the Saturday of the show!! We had 3 Czech Frosty breeders and 8 rabbits for Show A!!! This was an exhibition show as the Czech as still COD.

I get the Cornish Cross and raise them on pasture ..... I have a tractor and they stay outside 24/7 after being feathered.... I find them stupid (I have actually run one over with the cage because it just sat there) but they produce meat quickly. I also ration the feed... so between the daily...

My hubby put a cap on our crew of 3 indoor pets.. I rent my farm space; so I have a cap on critters too..... Love our Dog and 2 cats! Our dog is a shepherd mix (Princess) and she needed some love and training to get her socialized Our cats are so different its amazing they are friends...

I am hoping to gift a young buck (or doe) back to the breeder who was kind enough to let me use her buck at convention. Fingers crossed.... I have brand new nest boxes that those two does were given this morning... (I know its a bit early, but I want them used to them and comfortable, well...

I think so... If they are bonded, they should do just fine.... keep an eye on the condition of the does, in case one ends up feeding them all herself... (you may need to supplement with some sunflower seed and oatmeal or rich alfalfa hay) Good luck and welcome to the adventure.

Thank you Yes Photos are coming.... I just have been so busy with working to get the cash flow.... flowing... lol I think they are just beautiful rabbits!! The does were both SRs so I got permission to breed them both to a different buck before we left convention! So, Nov 30th I have my fingers...

Hey all Long time since I was here last... Thought I would send an update. I went to my first ARBA convention this year. "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times....." I drove 15hours with my van and my little 15ft camper. On the way there we experienced some vehicle issues.... and...

Looks like a mis-shaped pupil... If you are not showing, I wouldn't worry about a vet.

Hey Kelly I'm in the "deep South" of Ontario, so I travel to Rabbit shows in Michigan quite a bit.... I would suggest visiting a show and talking to breeders, reading the standard (to education yourself) and watch/listen to a show to know what you really need to look for in a Florida White...

I have a rabbit friend from up near the Niagara area of Ontario.... I often transport for her as she doesn't get to Michigan for rabbit shows..... I transport Holland Lops a lot!! lol They are most lovely tempered rabbits I have met! I am with Meadowview on Breeding for shows... and my friend...

They really are a beautiful Rabbit!! But sooooo addictive!! I always seem to need more!.... But seriously, have to cull down my herd to the "best" and get lean for Convention! :D <br /><br /> -- Thu Jun 28, 2018 10:56 am -- <br /><br /> Thank you Nymphadora .... Yes, summer does bring on the...

Welcome!! Yes this is a great group of people to share your rabbit rambling, concerns and successes with! Photos are always appreciated :D Almost all my rabbits have toys that they seem to like to leave in their water dishes.... when I give them hay cubes to play with/eat.... they put those...
