Thanks. I took and put it with three others a little while ago. It is doing well. I will leave them together and see how the doe does with them. Thanks for the help.

I had a doe who had 7 kits last night. All died but one due to her not having them down in the nest covered. She has been breeding for two years and is a good mom. We don’t normally have this low of temps we are currently having. Today my other doe had ten. Am I still good to move four of the...

The drawing looks good. You do have a couple of possible issues that I can see. First, your design is going to be too tall. I would suggest cutting it back to a two tier. I am 6’5 and I struggle at times with the top row. I am including a link to my post, which has a similar design to what you...

I am going to look them over this weekend a little better as I get a chance. I will keep these things in mind. They are about four weeks from processing. I would prefer to cull than treat. My does are a week away from their next litters. Once they have them, I am going to move them out and clean...

I use tarps when needed to keep the wind down. Here in Alabama you rarely need it.

I need some help identifying what is going on with my meat rabbits. I noticed three of the 7 grow outs from one of my does has these small growths. One has a spot on his nose, one near the foot, and the last has one in the anal area. One of them was bleeding. I haven’t introduced anything new...

I had the same issue. I did two things that helped. 1. I stopped mixing in boss or oats with the feed. I now put it on top. 2. I changed to a better feed (I think this is the real reason they stopped) If some pieces smell sweeter, they dig to get them. Once I changed the feed, they stopped...

HAHA sure come on over. I will throw some on the smoker. Haven't tried it that way, but I want too.

I went Friday and picked up the meat. I had two big brown grocery bags full. He wrapped then up in dinner sized portions for the family. My wife loved that. I also got him to do jerky out of the rib and stomach flaps. I was amazed at how big the pieces were. He was able to keep both sides...

I spent more than a few weeks trying to find someone to process my meat rabbits for me. Everyone kept giving me the same line, "We don't do rabbits". The numbers have gotten a little high for me to do on my own, without it taking a day or two. I took 18 rabbits to him Friday. I will have another...

I have worked out a few, but I still have some that could use a little work. When I wash out the waste, I keep two buckets at the bottom and get a little spillage. That needs to be adjusted. The ones in the bottom are almost processing size. I finally found someone to do it for me. 18 would...

Thanks and your welcome!

My wife and I are working our way towards moving. I visit Zillow and look at houses almost daily. Googling an address works good once you have one. Zillow will let you see a lot of interior pictures as well. You can set parameters to help find the right place. The first thing I do is set up a...

Yesterday, my neighbor from a few houses down, sent his daughter to see if I had lost a rabbit. My wife said we had. The little bugger got out a couple days ago. Usually they will stick around and I catch them. This one was gone or so I thought. So I went and got him. The guy told me, he use to...

They are going through the food for sure. I process them when they get to five pounds. It is usually around the ten week mark. It depends though on the time of year. Summer usually takes a little longer. I finally found someone to do all the processing for me. I am hoping to get a few de-boned...
