You are 100% correct! She barely eats anything. I don't know how she survives!

Glad you are here! Sorry I can't be of any help as I'm new here too.

Besides being very well stated, Eco2pia is right. I saw some "common food" in S.E. Asia that I'd consider definitely "off the table" (pun intended). In most cases, even if I could eat it, I couldn't keep it down. FYI... I ate a truck-stop hotdog on a bet & somehow survived! Every insect...

Pretty sure that was the morning I shot hot coffee out my nose.

Apparently my severely warped sense of humor is genetic as my son suffers from the same thing. I could go on for days telling stories of the corny stuff he's done. I was reminded of one earlier today. I had dropped him off at school in an unmarked "cop car". As he opened the door to get out one...

Very interesting points. While I'm in no position to argue, I question your position on yield & labor. Time to maturity may also be an issue but I don't know how long it takes for rabbits or chickens to grow up. The really bad news is that I completely agree with you about current & upcoming...

Rabbit meat could easily be classified as a health-food. As for the commercial end, expenses Vs yield, I'm guessing the cost would be similar to raising poultry, but the yield is greater, labor is less and there are byproducts that could also provide profit. I'm so old that I can remember...

All of my animals respond to positive attention more than "treats". Except for cats. Everything they do is strictly on their terms only.

Welcome! I doubt you will learn anything from me, I'm here to exploit the others for their knowledge. I've learned quite a bit already. No worries, there seems to be plenty of good advice to go around.

My late father's best friend recently enjoyed his 92nd birthday. Both he and his wife are in excellent shape both physically and mentally. Is it coincidence that they have always provided their own food, buying very few groceries from the store? Of course it could be genetics or a combination of...

Sounds like excellent advice! I assume that's also good for preventing problems. I never imagined getting so attached to a rabbit. I never knew they had such distinct personalities. Every last one is different, but in good ways. Pretty funny... While outside this morning a wild rabbit snuck past...

Don't forget about the Easter Bunny, laying all those colorful eggs out in the wild! Without him, imagine the problems we'd have!

Then you have the other category... Stupid people like me who don't bother considering where baby rabbits come from. My only defense is that I'm diligently trying to learn all I can to provide a decent home without making more rabbits.

It's warmer than it has been but not in the house or barn. Both have heat & AC. He's fine now, running around, playing as usual.

I doubt I'd be your best choice to ride with. When possible we'd have two deputies per vehicle. Or when a new person was hired, it was mandatory that they'd team up with a senior deputy until they were "signed off" and / or their probation period was over. I was assigned a new guy who at first...

Too much govt. isn't a good thing but in this case, I'd put out the welcome sign. I'd be greatful for any help I could get at this point. It may also be a huge help to your community.

Hurry up & wait. We had a pregnant mare who took so long giving us a new colt, I figured she changed her mind. Then when I least expected it... we had an extra horse.

I'm thrilled to report that Snack is eating, drinking & using his litter box normally. He also ran up & greeted my foot with a kick Chuck Norris would be proud of, then ran off in the other direction indicating his desire for attention. I layed on the bed and he jumped up as usual. I'm not ready...

Update... Last night as I was going to bed "Snack" was laying in his litter box, which was rather odd. Not much I can do in the middle of the night so I left him alone. Somewhat cheating, I left the window open all night making it freezing in there. Around 3:00 or so, Snack joined us on the bed...

I called our vet early this morning. She said basically the same thing except that because I saw some improvement, give him until noon before bringing him in. One to see if there was further improvement and two she couldn't possibly see him until afternoon. By then he was eating some pellets...
