I am so sorry, I thought I had replied to you. I am currently growing through the contacts on the map. It does look like that person is not available, so sorry!! I am trying to encourage people to also use a phone number or email. But I think she may be out of rabbit the way it looks. Or she is...

I make no neverminds about new or old. I've not been as active lately as i hope to be again once we get moved to Georgia (yes, life is a bit stressful right now). I appreciate your kind words very much.

I know what you meant {hugs}

Even in Texas I drove 5 hours one way and 6 hours another way to get my first Tamuk composites and never regretted it. Just saying. The average heat tolerance of a typical Tamuk versus a trypical NZ is at least 5-8 degrees higher and when you are on the high end of the temps, it makes a...

Hey eveyone - I've been in Florida the last two weeks, my mom passed (expected and she is now happy and well again) so been off the radar, way off. I don't have time this morning to give it a lot of thought but I'd be happy to be a go between to see if there is more availability in this area via...

Also, you can see on this map that there are people successfully untilizing Tamuk in many states. I know a long time breeder in Michigan that breeds heavily through the summer and takes a break, if taken, in winter months. We are currently working through pins to update them. The red signify...

What I can tell you personally is that I have had Tamuk, New Zealand and Rex in my barn and the Rex and New Zealand will show signs of heat stress about 8-10 degrees sooner than the Tamuk. I'm talking typical Tamuk vs typical NZ. I deal with very high heat here in west Texas. so far, 3 our of 4...

This is VERY helpful, thank you. It sounds like it may be best for my other animals. We may even consider getting goats or sheep. There is other fodder I have fed only very limited to my rabbits such as a wild amaranth we have here (sorry, I have not been able to identify it well enough to know...

Hi! Did you continue feeding your rabbits pecan tree hay?

Ohhhh, I see I didn't think about people talking about which wood rabbits can chew on. DUH.

Thank you! I did only search this thread using the search function. I will go through these results as well. I appreciate your help.

I was reading through and wanted to comment that I did grow some of this and wow, it makes a huge plant even here in west Texas where I am unsuccessful with much gardening. The rabbits were not enthusiastic but mine are like toddlers. Except for willow and rose, everything else I have to give...

I searched "pecan" for this thread and it didn't come up. I am going to look back through to see if there is any general discussion on nut trees. I don't have access to pecan trees right now but I will so interested in finding out if that can be fodder. Where we are moving my cousin trims pecan...

I am thinking of building some tunnels/nests with Baltic birch. Trying to determine if it is rabbit safe for chewing. I've seen stuff built with it and been told by several people they use it successfully, just hoping for a little more anecdotal evidence it is okay.

My experience is similar. I have Dumor cages under cover and in use for 3 years. Mine are still going strong functionally. I use hog rings to reinforce the edges and corners (easier for me to do than J clips). I also add a spring latch. You do not want to trust the latches that come with! I...

I love mine! The Tamuk community debated about going for approval but finally decided not to do so. Even full Tamuks show a lot of variation. I have 3 bucks and 10 does and I could show you all three fur types and a range of head shapes. And their best qualities don't show on the table anyhow...

This is a casual map I keep that might help you. Also ask ask ask at feed stores. You can also try your county extension agent. If you find a rabbit breeder but they don't breed Californians, pick their brains. If they know a big New Zealand breeder, that person may know who breeds Californians...

It is a lot of work at times. AND my set up uses trays. I know, I was a noobie. When we move, no more trays!!!

My oldest lives in Oregon and what she just paid for a house - regular house - I almost fainted. BUT she did it!!! Yay for her.

I didn't read the whole convo but we are looking at land now in south Georgia and Yes, the larger the parcel, the less per acre in general. Our family is mostly in north Florida or we would be looking at places like north Arizona. In FL, prices triple and so do regulations and we want to be able...
