    Are you making money or losing money with your rabbits?

    Our last KW with shipping was almost $700 or was it over $700...with the coated floors. Same size as above. Can squeeze in one more triple but will be looking for a used set!

    What is the most popular breed to be raised for meat?

    Alaska Satin is correct, people use the word Standard to differentiate between Rex and Mini Rex but it is not a correct term for the full size Rex Rabbit. Some breeders get pretty agitated when people refer to Rex as Standard Rex. Lol some also say Rex, not Mini-Rex, to differentiate so there...

    Disposing of non-edible remains...in the city

    Treating sore hocks?

    It isn't an overnight process, it takes some time to get the rabbits hocks/feed healed and then for hair to grow. I would work on it every day to make sure consistent progress is made. Once it heals, the fur comes in rather quickly.

    Can kits be given too much formula?

    I so totally understand, we did the same thing trying to figure out what happened to prevent it in future, she was a great mom and had such a sweet personality. This is such a good forum, none like it in people so willing to give advice and assistance. Take care and congrats on thriving babies!

    Can kits be given too much formula?

    Rolled oats are very easy for them to digest and help their weight gain, and they love them! You are doing a great job, very sad for mom. We had to do the same thing and had 8 to feed from just under one week old, mom broke her back somehow, assumed from a scare in the night. Anyway, it is a...

    When to breed a recovering rabbit?

    Copied from Alaska Satin above: "I don't know anyone who has lost an entire herd, or even most of their herd to snuffles, though I've heard about people that have euthanized entire herds in response to the threat of the disease. I may or may not have had rabbits with snuffles in my barn in the...
