Our back yard is completely fenced in and our buck sandy enjoys a free range life accept for the occonial chase from our two dogs. When we first allowed him to run free the dogs would give him exciting case but with bushes and other things around the yard for him to dive into they had no chance...

Weighted in again at eight weeks. The pure calis weighted in at 56oz avg or 3.5lb and the mix dutches weighted in at 46oz or 2.8lb. I will weight in again at 12 weeks.

After three days of iodine treatment three times a day the swelling and redness has reduced. Thanks for everyone's help.

I just started using them and they have sped up the process of watering. I use a 2gal flower watering pot with a spout to fill them. I can also easily add ice in the mid day heat. I converted from ball type and it took a day or two for them to catch on but so far everyone is using them. I do...

This is a better pic its seems to be around the nail only. There was no sore just puffiness thats why I pricked it with the hopes of draining it. I will try the anti-fungal tonight.

Big yes on both. I applied ant poison just the other day. I haven't seen the ants on the cages. Whats strange is that its on the same outside toe of the front paw on all kits. To me this would point to flooring. I doubt ants or mosquitos would bite the same toe on the same foot? When they were...

Here is what I'm looking at. This may not be the smartest move but I pricked it with a needle and gave it a squeeze and thick white puss came out. I started applying tinctured iodine last night and this morning. It hasn't worsened since yesterday. I had them on a card broad liner in the nest...

Three of my 10 day old kits have swollen toes on their front feet. The outside toes on the front feet only. I have keep the nest very clean. Any ideas what could be causing this? What is the best treatment?

Someone also told me they are safer somehow...though they didn't say why. They safer because they don't pertrode into the cage so the rabbits don't get hung up or cut.

I've had a few rabbits for the last two year and recently decided to expand. I built and double stack 10'X6'X24" frame for 8 30"X24" cages. Thought trail and error I've found a few products that make rabbit care quicker and more efficient for me. I built the cages from scratch.

Weighted in today at six weeks. The pure cali's avg weight was 34oz. The Cali mutt dutch mix's avg weight was 30oz. The most noticeable difference is the pure calis are larger in the shoulders at this point. I will weight in again at 8 weeks.

Temps have been in the 90s for the last few weeks here so my rabbit have been eating less. Bucks get 5oz pellets by weight plus a big hand full of Timothy hay per day. Idle Does get 6oz pellets plus a big hand full of timothy hay per Day. Feeding Petrus 700B its 18% and 2.5% fat with Calf Mana...

Wow! Not the answer I was hoping for consetering we have temp over 85 from may to nov.

If a buck was moved from the 90 degree outdoor heat into an indoor temp of 74 degrees how long would it take him to regain his fertity if he was streile form the heat? My buck is a cali if the type make a difference. Any feed back would be appreciated.

The kit on the left in the profile pic and the bottom in the top view photo is a cali buck to a dutch doe. The kit on the right and top is a full cali. Both are from the same buck. The full cali is twenty one days old and the mix is eighteen days. The mix is out weighting the full by an 1.5oz...

Should I completely clean out and replace the nesting material in my nest boxes between brith and time young come out of the box? If so how many times? I'm new to raising rabbits and recently had and issue with a doe scraching up the kits. I took out half the nesting material to do a clean out...
