The meat rabbits are cmfarm's, awaiting cages. I'll be getting back into rabbits later when time comes available, so I'll be keeping the cages/setup.

Breeding wasn't successful and I'm finding that I no longer have time to mess with the rabbits. If anyone wants them, they're available, no charge. One of the Texas A&M breeding trio does turned out to be a buck. He seems very motivated, so I'd say he's a keeper. Here's the list: Buck -...

I'm in Kyle, about 20 or so miles south of you, depending on where you are in Austin. My rabbits are on break from breeding due to the heat last summer and my work hours. I'm hoping to restart this coming weekend. Not that I need to, though. My freezer is still full of rabbit and deer...

I'm a gut reaction type myself and my wife is a write pros and cons down type. We recently had a big decision to make as far as whether I should stay working at my current place for the job security and benefits or take a job offer that paid more and was more exciting, but in a volatile...

It's not a direct answer to your question, but if you have a meat grinder, you can add some ground venison to hamburger. We use about 1/2 venison and 1/2 ground brisket. The brisket adds enough fat so the meat doesn't get too crumbly. Speaking of which, we still have 2 deer from last year to...

Ivermectin isn't toxic to humans in the small doses that you'd give to treat a rabbit. I'd have no problem eating a rabbit the day after it was injected other than the waste of a good dose of expensive medicine. The 30 day withdrawl is fairly standard for all medications, but I'd personally...

Welcome to the forums, kimmytime. I'd suggest that your friend look in and put an ad in the local Craigslist. I hope the dog gets better.

Happy birthday! :)

Congratulations, MidnightCoder! :) I know 6 people who switched from cigarettes to vaping and only one still smokes. My wife is one of those who quit by using the vapor. She still uses the high strength vapor, but she's not coughing as much and she no longer smells like stale cigarettes...

I picked up my new rabbits on Saturday. I'm a little disappointed in their size. They're a little smaller than my show stock NZWs at about the same age. It could be that mine only had 7 kits and they're still with their mom. The TAMUKs seem to have more hair, but less fur if that makes...

TAMU has its rabbitry in Kingsville, south of Corpus Christie. I'm getting these in Round Rock for the same price as they would be from Kingsville, but it's much closer. Round Rock would be closer to you as well. They're sold out now, but I'm sure they'll be doing more business as soon as...

Yeah, that would have been a not so good surprise. That's good advice, MSD. I'll pet her as much as I can. I can only do it in the evenings because of work, but she seemed to really enjoy being petted last night. :)

A while back, the only bunny who ever bit me was put on the freezer nap list pending attempted breeding. I spared her because she was once someone's pet, but she opened my finger up almost to the bone. She had later tried to attack me when I cleaned her hutch. A failed breeding and subsequent...

Welcome to the Austin/San Marcos area! Sure, we should get together sometime and swapping kits sounds like a great idea. We can have more diverse genetics in our respective stocks. It'll be quite some time before my TAMUKs are ready to breed, since they're so young, but that day will come. I...

Generally, a reset connection means that it took too long to get a live response from the remote site. Try clearing your cache as MSD said. Sometimes it's a DNS issue. Clear your DNS cache by opening a command prompt and entering "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes. Note the space between...
