    Trying to get started

    That's awesome! I could do that for about 18 hours. The first to come to the diner would be the hawks, then a bit later, the owls. Any remaining rabbits would be dinner for the coyotes, and if there were a few stragglers, the feral dogs and cats would have breakfast. I have to have double layer...

    I love that you let them out. I tried putting a couple does together in what I thought was a lot of room (10'x5') and it was an instant cage fight (I could have sold tickets) I immediately separated them. I'm afraid to let them roam here - how do you get them back? There are many coyotes, they...

    Ear mites please help

    If you buy the 1% injectable liquid ivermectin dosage is one drop per 2 lb with an eyedropper on the back of their neck. If you put it on their foot they will lick it off that works too. I find this to be the easiest way to administer it. I give it to them once in awhile just for the heck of it...

    Ear mites please help

    Just a clarification. Ivermectin is a Nobel prize winning medication for humans and all mammals that I know of. Seriously Nobel prize winning. On the list of most critical medications. Not a "horse wormer".

    I love your ideas! The hoophouse sounds great! We've been thinking of building one but the pvc pipe ones are too flimsy. Start a thread with pics of your stuff! I love creative ideas & solutions! The only thing I would change is not put in a gravel floor. You can't rake poop off gravel and so...

    Trying to get started

    Here is a cage I made the other day. The bottom is a large birdcage I got from a yardsale for $10. The top part is a cheapo rabbit cage I snagged from someone's trash. The white clips were part of the original cage setup (not a fan, but they work. I have some zip ties as backup. I don't want to...

    I am a huge fan of second-hand dog kennels & bird cages. Check craigslist & yardsales. My does are 12-13 lbs, and I use very large dog cages and add shelves. They are very sturdy & predator proof. I have some pics & info on saving money here - MONEY-SAVING RABBIT TIPS You do have to have the...

    Not new, but returning!

    Just a quick note - I have been wanting to reply to this thread for quite a while because I think it's extremely discouraging to people who think they may want to try breeding some rabbits. People do not have to feel that they will be in debt to do this. Except for the first investment of $100...

    Producers Pride rabbit chow may be compromised

    Producers Pride rabbit chow may be compromised. They were doing it to the chicken feed now they're coming after the rabbits? It's a ways into the vid at 10:50 if you are interested: YouTube

    8 week old Blue Silver Fox with floppy ears

    One of my favorite rabbits doesn't like to hold his ears up. He absolutely can if he wants to. But he's lazy. Lazy. Lazy. Someone told me that rabbits don't droop their ears because they're lazy but I can guarantee you they are incorrect on this because all the rabbits have different...

    Iodine added to water! (Health hack!)

    I appreciate the clarification. I really don't care to discuss this endlessly either, however, I will point out that "the established norm" has not been proven. It is theoretical - "germ theory". If one does research through an unbiased source (meaning not funded by Rockefeller, Pfizer, etc)...

    Iodine added to water! (Health hack!)

    I must say that I am very saddened by the attacks against someone sharing their experience/thoughts. If I see a post that says rabbits' personalities & health are based on their horoscope signs, I can choose to believe it or not, and I can do more research or ignore it. I don't think anyone...

    Iodine added to water! (Health hack!)

    I don't have a dog in this fight, and I seriously do not care if anybody follows anything I say or not. As a matter of fact I probably prefer they don't. However I just put it out there as my own experiences. As with everything use your own judgment. I can just tell you it's worked really well...

    Iodine added to water! (Health hack!)

    Thank you for reminding me! When I had the rabbitry in the larger (hot) area for the winter I had a spray bottle of betadine (povidone iodine) that I spritzed into their water every once in awhile. Never hurt anyone :) When I moved to the tiny 'summer' area under the trees, I moved stuff over...

    Rabbit Names

    I name all my rabbits, even the ones I don't keep. I generally sell all of them, only dispatched 2 so far. Depends on what time of year it is. The spring ones were called names like "Hershey" "Cadbury" "Godiva" I've decided I like more 'regal' names, so the latest batch was Apollo, Caspian...

    Sick Rabbits Dying

    If it makes you feel better, ivermectin is not an antibiotic, it is anti-parasite, with many other attributes, such as anti-cancer and antiviral. It's derived from a bacteria in dirt, actually.

    The germ theory is just that, a theory, never proven. Terrain theory is more believable IMO. Thank you for taking the time to write up a great explanation, which i am saving for future use. ♥️ And you are not the only person here ♥️ Liz

    Sick Rabbits Dying

    If you want to dose with ivermectin - it's really easy! I use the injectable type - DON'T inject it. I put it in a small bottle with an eyedropper (2/$1.25 @ Dollar Tree) 1 drop treats 2 lbs. I drop it on the back of their necks. You could drop it on their feet if you want. It is practically...

    Show me your hutches!

    Oh! I love that! That is what I want to do! What are the dimensions? How many rabbits and how large are they? My summer area for the rabbits is 8'x8'. I have 4 females, ranging from a 7lb 3 month old, 10lb 6 month old and 2 @ 12+ lbs adults. I would love to let the girls room together on the...
