    Please learn from my mistake!!!

    Oh sweets I'm sooooo sorry for your loss of a litter.... I just lost a litter myself....I can never tell early on by palpitating if they are prego, but when they are approaching the day I find if I turn them over on their back while they are resting calmly and apply pressure you will feel the...

    Some pics of Bunnyville and our new popples!

    You aren't kidding! The Doe's Chalet was a nasty ugly brown chicken coop :o we saved from a bon fire :).... The colorful walkway is the neighbors old driveway :mrgreen: , and the tumbling poles are from my Mom-in-Laws fence. I love dumpster diving.....It is what makes every part of your...

    Some pics of Bunnyville and our new popples!

    I agree.... I moved from a small garden to an acre cleared free of all plants... I was very discouraged... The side yard swamped and sometimes the water would pool on our property... Plants died , I gave up... The hurricanes hit that year and flooded the whole property...tons of pine trees and...

    Some pics of Bunnyville and our new popples!

    I have my pond netted now, once the trees are lush again I will put some sun sails over it and that should deter any new herons flying over.... The other seems to have given up and moved on now.... The rest of my garden is more rustic...but Bunnyville took a look of it's own oddly....Everything...

    Some pics of Bunnyville and our new popples!

    The huge Chocolate bunny was a great find at the Goodwill :) We did not live with it, we changed out the plywood wood for wire inside the hutches.....much cleaner that way! We have no problems with cats or coyotes around here....not really sure we have much of a coyote population here in...

    2nd chance for successful 1st litter

    The last few days were a scramble, to get the old nesting tunnels off, a new Buck cage made and new nesting boxes for the pregnant Does. We were cutting it close, but today the nesting box went in with Cinnamon in The Buck's hut, (we had moved him out) to a new cage and within hours she was...

    NESTING BOX DISASTER...HELP :(

    Thanks guys....I believe the other two does are prego, so I hope to have a second chance in the next few weeks....I will have modified my set up by then....Do you guys use only hay, or do you ever use large horse shavings (pine)? Curious what is better?

    NESTING BOX DISASTER...HELP :(

    Thanks....I know the tunnels are a more natural envirenment for them, but should I just go to boxes instead. I do feel bad...having made such a rookie error.... :( I thought I was fully prepared.....it really is a learning experience....NEXT TIME WILL BE BETTER!

    We have our first Litter

    Oreo, our calmest and sweetest Bun had a litter today! She seems to have only had 2 though...Is that normal....I have felt all around in the nesting box, and haven't felt any others. It's actually a nesting tunnel about two feet long, she made her nest deep in the box, but the kits were covered...

    Palpation frustration

    We had 3 failed attempts....then the other day my daughter had Oreo on her lap, laying on her back stroking her belly and you could feel kits moving around....I could feel them nudging around in there. The next 4 days I could not feel them at all no matter how hard i tried to palpitate, thought...

    Would this be considered a colony?

    I have a few grasses...but I don't think I'm sure which you are talkin' about..... I do have some real tall grass myself I have been unable to identify...some thought it might be fakahatchee or something like that :) Take a picture and post it....We planted 6 bananas so far...from what I can...

    Would this be considered a colony?

    They are doing well...it's been a hot summer...but the ventilation and shade seems to be doing ok...they stay inside during the heat of the day, ..... but are all out and about on the morns and eves. With the floor being wire now and the side door open....there is a good breeze flowing through...
