Evidently you didn’t read the article it says hares and rabbits. Horses and rabbits are different species correct, yet they have the same type of digestive system. My evidences is the proof of feeding my rabbits, I will say again my rabbits Aspen and poplar. You do you, I will do what I do. You...

I also want to point out that people have posted that you can’t feed rabbits branches from trees whos fruit has pits because they contain cyanide. Complete rubbish the pit contains cyanide not the bark. I feed branches from my apricot and plumb trees. All my rabbits are happy and healthy.

They have the same digestive system and I guess my evidence is that I feed it to my rabbits along with poplar and other varieties of tree branches and leaves. But use your own judgement and like with any new food start slowly. Many animals eat Aspen and popular including hares and rabbits. But...

That’s awesome and very interesting about the Quail!

I feed my rabbits aspen and poplar they do fine. Also the natural diet of wild rabbits includes Aspen.

I feed mine conifers and they love them.

That is some awesome feed for the bunnies. Yes black oil seeds you need to use restraint lol. I only feed that in winter at the coldest months when the weather is -20 to -40. I grow sun chokes and the bunnies love the the whole plant. I eat the tubers myself, sorry bunnies. The types of...

You made my day. As you just mentioned the heard is happiest with the heard Buck(s) in place. These are highly social animals that have heard structures the same as horses and cattle. I can watch my heard from my back window and watch the interaction between the rabbits and I will be honest it...

I have a secure 3000’ square foot pen with bird netting on top. It has trees and shrubs and many hiding places. Within the pen is my main heard 8 Doe’s 2 bucks. My rabbits naturally stop breeding during the coldest months and this is controlled be the Does.

Diatomaceous earth needs to be dry if you’re using it in your garden for insects with an exoskeleton, the nature of the diatomaceous earth’s wears hole in the exoskeleton and the insects dehydrate. However when an animal takes it internally for parasites the parasite ingests the diatoms it kills...

My rabbits are free range and don’t live an existence in a 3x3 cage . I am not against that, but when the animal is a social animal that develops long term relationships in the heard like horses do, they are extremely happy and healthy. Diatomaceous Earth is not some foreign chemical it is the...

Are you speaking from experience or what you heard? You can mix Diatomaceous earth in juices, smoothies or water and it works great I take it myself, my dogs get and my rabbits get it. No worm problems in 10 years.

I agree with what you’re saying, however spring grass is mostly water but after growing a couple weeks it becomes nutrient rich and stays that way until it matures then it will start to loose nutrients and become very fibrous. However native grasses can ripen on the stem and hold nutrients. The...

Wow good to see you

Yes between the ears downward or sideways between the the bottom of the ear and the eye which is approximately at the temple area. I don’t like shooting straight on because the pellets can penetrate through to the body cavity and mess up the meat.

I prefer to shoot with the rabbit sideways and aim between the ear and the eye or from behind. That way you are ensured a brain shot. When you shoot from the front the high power air rifle pellet can travel through to the body cavity and do damage.

Funny how we soften when we get in our 60’s. I have done the hopper popper way and find the handling and taking the culls out of the pen stresses them. The pellet gun on the other hand is a quick human dispatch. Even the sound of the pellet gun doesn’t get the heard to excited.

If you have fresh grasses that’s awesome food. I would also add some food grade diatomaceous earth to your feed as it will keep your rabbits parasite free.
