This is really helpful! I’ll be sure to get them some little snacks and maybe just have them come to me first to get them. Thank you so much!

Thank you fo Thank you for all the great information. I wasn’t too sure about the leather gloves either, partially because I’ve never liked wearing gloves of any kind even when handling freshly split wood.😂 With what rabbits by accident was saying though I thought maybe I should try them but...

I definitely won’t hold them that way anymore then. I’ve done it once or twice when trying to figure out how to handle them but it never worked well anyway. I’m also a bit afraid to hold them very close to me. I can handle scratches on my arms and hands, but I’d rather not have them on my...

Ya, I have used their scruff to keep them in one place while they’re still on their feet but it just didn’t quite seem right picking them up like that. I think mostly because of what my mom has taught me. It makes me glad I haven’t done that more than a few times and that they’re still ok. I...

I also meant to ask, picking them up by the scruff won’t suffocate them right? I know my mom used to warn me against holding our large orange cat that way because she said the cat was too heavy to hold that way. I feel like my rabbits are close to being as heavy as that cat so I just wanted to...

I might have to go to harbor freight and get some then. I’m just afraid of pulling out hair because of how much they squirm. The more they do that the more I loose my grip on them until I barely have their skin.

I hadn’t considered the rabbits thinking I was a predator. That does make sense because the does I moved to another cage are much calmer with me now and their door is on the side instead of the top. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you so much. That is all very helpful. Your rabbit is beautiful by the way and that was a cute baby. I’ve tried to hold them by their scruff and that never works for me. They just keep kicking which makes me afraid one of us, me or the rabbit, is going to get hurt in some way whether that...

I’m sorry, idk what’s going on with the website. I’ll just ask my last question and hopefully the post will go through. I don’t want to be bothering you with post after post. You mentioned you put your rabbits in a play area. I wanted to ask how you transport your rabbits from their cage to the...

The website isn’t letting me post my full answer and questions so forgive me if this is in several smaller pieces. The cage I had all four of the rabbits in before I split the does from the bucks is 45” long, 33” wide and 29” tall.

The large cage I was keeping all four of them in to begin with is 45” long, 33” wide and 29” tall. Since I split the does from the bucks, this space seems too big now. Along with having happy animals I also want to have an efficient farm and that just doesn’t seem very efficient anymore. All the...

Ok, will do. I think I’m just going to let my does have a rest from being with they bucks for now though. My poor girls.😅

This really helped to reassure me. Thank you. I will be leaving nesting boxes in their cage all the time.

I have split the does from the bucks but I don’t really have a good enough set up at the moment to further split them. I knew there would be fighting amongst my two boys so I put one of those plastic kitty litter buckets on its side in their cage. When I went out to check them tonight I found...

I’ve always found the yolk of the duck eggs very rich but I’ve always thought the white was kind of rubbery. The richest egg I think I’ve had is probably a Turkey egg. I just wish I got more of them from my hens. Sadly, they don’t lay very often.

Oh, I understand. I hadn’t even considered the chickens and ducks themselves being a problem. Also your babies are SO cute!

That’s great! We have some of our own Coturnix quail and they’re such prolific layers. They’re really amazing birds for how small they are. A while ago we had around seven ducks. Since we were getting so many duck eggs we decided to sell them and found that a lot of the people we sold them to...

This was all very helpful. Thank you to all of you! I will be splitting a Buck from my group of four and I will also be buying at least a couple nesting boxes. Thank you again!

Thank you so much. I think I will go ahead and split one of my bucks from the group.
