Regardless of the counties ordinance the HOA's rules will override the county regulations. I would not let the HOA know these rabbits are for consumption. Does anyone in your subdivision raise or breed dogs? If they do not allow it, then they probably won't allow the rabbits. The other...

I have rabbits that raise 12 on a regular basis. I try to breed at least 2 buns at a time that way I can foster off onto another mom. I have put Vicks vapor rub on the nose and have had no problems losing any kits and this last time I didn't put anything on the mommas nose.

After I cook down my left over bones and remove the bones I add celery, onion and I also add chicken bouillon cubes.

I bred her to A NZ White. Which was raised out of my stock. He is a young buck. When I breed my does I put them in with the buck and leave them in there for at least 5-10 minutes and depending on the buck he may breed them up to 3 times. Then 8 hours later when the eggs start to fall I put...

When my does don't want to breed I put the doe with the buck every day, sometimes twice a day until they breed. I also read somewhere on this post about using the string affect. Where you tie a string around the tail, place the doe in the bucks cage facing you with the string ran up over her...

She is a NZ/Holland Lop. She is a good mom. When I put the nest box back after checking the kits she gets in the nest box like she is counting the kits to make sure they are all there.

It could be that your neighbors enjoy watching the wildlife such as birds and wild rabbits. Cats whether tame or feral will catch and eat the wildlife and crap in their yard. I live in a subdivision and have neighbors all around me and I hate it when their cats come over here and poop in my...

you might try putting some hay in the cage and watch what she does with it for a bit. if she eats it then she is not ready yet, but if she starts gathering it up in her mouth then I would put the nest box in. You might also watch to see if she digs at the floor, it would look lie she trying to...

ohiogoatgirl You can't believe everything about the sores on the teats and the pus getting in the milk. I come from a family of milk producers and when the cows have sores on their teats they were always doctored and the milk from that teat was milked of into a can and fed to the baby calves...
