They can manage down to -20. I have an aviary of about 50, culled down from 100 so I could make room for rabbits. Lowest I've had them is 17° in the aviary with the sides tarped and protected. They have upside down high-sided plastic rabbit litter boxes for hides that they can go into and...

This is cool. My steel 1/4 Flemish cross buck with my black NZ doe gave me blacks and two or three of these that look now like they might be chestnut. A couple that look blue as well. My NZ red doe and orange buck gave me red, orange, and fawn, and two REWs.

I was going to cook the liver, kidneys and heart for my dogs, so they thank you! 🥳🐩🐩 This was the reason I went with quail 4 years ago instead of rabbits. I've been reading so much about rabbit diseases that I was about ready to lump them with the huge and terrifying stack of things that can...

So the meat is okay to eat, but not the organs? Is it this on the lower kidney? Thank you for improving my level of knowledge!

Thanks! The kidneys looked perfect but I didn't have my cheaters on. I have them in the fridge, I will see if I can get a closer look when I get home, just for further education!

I'm so sorry! We wait so long for a good successful breeding, and then to lose all of them is tragic! I second possibility of mice. I knew I had one in my enclosed patio and I happened to find it in the open trash can. I killed it immediately. Felt awful. But, I don't want them anywhere near my...

Thank you! I really wanted to cook that liver last night! I was wondering the same thing, I kept his head for my dog's breeder who feeds raw, but wouldn't know how to dissect it to get into the sinuses. I figured it was dust because he would sneeze when I was sneezing that he was one of the...

Thank you so much! This was a sweet buck too. My husband drove 5 hours one way for me to get another one of better quality and outside lineage, and a better coat, though I've read that they're still rare and they're probably all interrelated now. This buck was likely siblings with my doe...

I posted about this American Blue buck previously because he was sneezing. Not all the time, just occasional sneezes, although this last week he did a rapid fire set. But so did I, right after him! He also would kind of snort a little bit while he was grooming. He never had any snot on his nose...

Right there with you, every time I find something else to freak out about it's like oh my God why did I even start with rabbits? I thought quail were bad! I find those periodically, it looks like it just got stepped on, AFAIK coecotropes look more like a little group of poop grapes, smaller...

I'm still a noob but I would let her raise this litter while protecting yourself. Then reassess if she calms down as they grow up. At this point you want her kits to grow up safe and sound. When my mamas get pushy I just cup the top of their head and push down gently while I do my quick check...

They are adorable! 😍

Plus one for conjunctivitis and terramycin ointment.

I think they're gorgeous but I can't make room for rabbits that big. These are supposed to be one quarter Flemish and I've bred each buck to a New Zealand doe. They are such pretty boys (to me), and I wanted to see what I would get with only 1/8 Flemish. With two different sires and two...

Yes now that I've looked at pictures of older pure Flemish, I can see the big blocky heads. The black buck with the gold tips (with the red New Zealand doe) is 10 months old and 11+ lb. So he is sized a little bit more like a New Zealand. I had read so many glowing reviews about putting a...

Thank you both! I figured I would try to get that injured doe out at least every other day for exercise. I was pleased to see how well she was doing! You're right that the younger buck, the lighter one (he is the steel?) probably just looks to me like he has a refined head because of the size of...

😂 Yes, yes it will, especially if I pull a couple nice double shots. ☕☕

I bought three young meat rabbits as 3/4 New Zealand, 1/4 Flemish, and I'm starting to suspect they are more like half Flemish... They are all wonderful rabbits, really good personalities on the two youngest. Really big back feet! The oldest dark buck is 10 months, the other two are a fawn? buck...

Congratulations! Surprise is stunning and gorgeous! 😍
