Would a reel push mower work for making hay? I want something that will leave the hay long and not mulch it up and my back is too messed up for a scythe.

So I've had a pretty hectic (absolute nightmare) past couple weeks did the hare minimum with the rabbits and my record keeping for breeding is gone like out the window see ya later. How would one with very limited knowledge on palpating etc go about knowing who's bred what due dates are and the...

Had some mother's panting the last few days with it only being 20 celsius. Also have crap butts. They aren't touching hay either when usually it's gone and they're itching for more what could this be? I gave them dandelions yesterday could this have any effect?

Clean cages make sure there no manure piling up would be a start..idk if milk fever is a thing for rabbits but I'd keep her feed the same maybe feed her more on kindling day (also less chance of her eating kits if she's full 🤔) then I kind of wing it for feed and follow the whole if she's...

Feed is 17% protein

Was wondering any tips for keeping kits alive I'm supplementing with BOSS and free feeding pellets and hay is there anything else I can do to boost milk production?

What do you mean compressed hay? Like silage? Plastic wrapped?

So in my barn I have chickens peacocks and rabbits. I went to sweep the floor and you wouldn't believe the dust cloud. Is there anyway to keep the dust down? Also am I better off to clean with a mop and bucket or should I grab a vacuum? I have 2 litters on the go ATM

So cut the holes open to 1x2? I'll get it done tonight just hope 16 gauge wire holds up

This is my hay feeder it backs onto 1x1 cage wire. My question is is the 1x1 space easy enough for kits to pull through hay? I could cut them to 1x2 or 2x2 thoughts?

I was thinking spraying dawn dish soap or vinegar on the trays after scraping would that work to maybe help air quality and deter flys? I just read too that dawn dish soap is a good insecticide substitute for plants

I'm using a pan system for the manure from the rabbits. I was wondering if there is any kind of spray I could use after scraping them to hopefully ward off/kill flies or lower the amonia content. The trays are metal and 1 1/2" deep

How is everyone storing hay? I here cat crap and pee isn't good on the hay do I use some kind of storage bin or make one?

How old are the rabbits in this picture?

Thus weekend I plan on moving mom to a new cage and letting the kits start to grow out. I have new cages coming and have space for 5 more breeders and I plan to have these kits fulfill that roll (I know it's not recommended to use first time litter as breeders) just wondering now when I should...

Ok box is in let's see what happens

When a doe carrys hay around obviously trying to make a nest at let's say 20 days should I throw the nest box in? Is it too early? I've also read that if they do this at 14 days they aren't pregnant is this true?

@ladysown I fully agree with you I'm just thinking in terms of closing the weight gap in fryers

Is there any danger of feeding kits between feedings with mom? I notice in a lot of growth charts there seems to be 1-2 kits that are all stars (weight wise) and the rest fall behind. Wondering if I bottle/syringe fed when I went out if it would impact there want for finding mom's ****s lol...
