    growing sprouts for rabbits

    I have some great looking oat sprouts in the house now. The rabbits will get some of that for supper. Guess I'll just trim the sprouts with scissors and maybe they will keep growing. First time in the house. When I had horses the oats would sprout in dark wet places in the barn. The price...

    Rabbit balls?

    Are the rabbits acting mean? Probably just scared. Be calm around them. If they seem healthy wait it out. Lungs, kidneys and heart are things to check if you go that way.

    Feeding rabbits without pellets- is it possible? (your input wanted)

    Hello. I sprouted some oats in the house. The greens are now about 7 inches. Before I do it, is it OK to cut those greens and feed them to my rabbits? I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. Just checking.

    12 Day Old Kits REFUSE to STAY in Nest Box.. 😬

    I've been told after 3 days they have enough baby hair to stay warm. If they are coming out there's no stopping 'em now ha. I think you are doing the right thing. If they have a place to jump in together if they want that's great. They will probably just poop in it but you never know. Keep...

    Worms for Chickens

    Ha it is!! Sprouting beans and oats in the house today. Still freezing but we didn't get all the snow. We would have sun if they would stop spraying us, Bunnies doing well under tarps but boy are they bored. Hoping tomorrow they can bust out and play. They have learned to drink before it...

    Too cold for our new kits

    good to hear they are surviving. we are at -6 and it's not going to get better for 2 more days. I've been out three times today, once more and I'm done. It's brutal. The wind is so bad I wrapped in tarps also.

    Too cold for our new kits

    I thought you were in AZ, guess not ha. Hope your babies are fine this morning. It's a challenge and you may be bringing them inside. We are at =10 with a wind chill of -40 they say. Good Lord. Wonder how Chicago kept their 30k plus illegals warm.

    Worms for Chickens

    I used to keep my rabbit manure cleaned up daily. I finally realized that if I just let it build up under the hutch it will feed the chickens. It is dead winter now so the smell is none and the hay gives me some traction on the ice. Come summer I'm not sure I can stand leaving it all but will...

    Too cold for our new kits

    I am in Illinois and we are going subzero with 20 mph winds. My outdoor hutches hold up well. I stuff in hay to cover the wire floor, cover the open areas on the outside with whatever. Usually feed sacks and heavy plastic. The feed sacks should make a great cold air barrier for your buns and...

    Rabbit wheezing, sneezing, nasal discharge and GI issues!

    So you have had her for a month. Was she healthy when you got her? She is an older gal so perhaps dispatch before you get more attached. I would never let her be around my other rabbits. Sorry you have to deal wtih this. Every day is a learning day. Best of luck.

    First time butchering yesterday. What to do with heads, ears, feet, tails, etc?

    Good morning. I have livers in the freezer. How do you make your pate. I'm ready for some and have never made it. Someone poached a buck on our property and the neighbor's dog brought it's head up to their door. Antlers cut off. I'm going to bury it in my garden to let the bugs do their...

    Is there rigor after thawing when the meat was frozen fresh?

    let them go thru rigor dry in the fridge then freeze. after thawing u can brine before cooking which will draw out more blood. everyone does it differently but if ur freezing they must go thru rigor.
