There can be many compounds in plants that are not directly toxic but with enough ingestion will cause a decline in health. Several plant compounds even mimic hormones in the body that can be helpful or harmful. CBD products from hemp or marijuana with the thc that causes all the psychoactive...

There really is not much on it. It is listed on nontoxic houseplant lists and used by a few people in reptile enclosures but it doesn't seem any site has detailed info on ingestion or keeping it around herbivorous animals. Past posts I saw on other forums did not have anyone coming up with...

She's not huge but they are sitting pretty far back. She's not even really pear shaped anymore. soo.... tomorrow to 1 month from now :lol: Sometimes I mildly note the pups are shifting and find a litter 2 days later. Other times I spend weeks wondering how their hips still work before they...

If you get a good producing line rather than the occasional litters of only around 4 mini rex are not bad meat rabbits at all. I bred them into my meat mutts for some of the benefits while still getting litters of 8-10 on a heavy breeding schedule. They have fine bone so you get a high meat to...

REW will mostly show all colors on the c locus. Exception is since self chinchilla appears black (or blue) the rew can't be self. If you lack an agouti gene you may not be able to see the chinchillas. Also an agouti sable vs chinchilla can sometimes be tricky to determine if you get all...

"ej" is mostly dominant to "e" but eje will often result in a less ideal pattern for a harlequin. For general purposes outside show or breed standards it appears as a harli. ww is wideband with a few general effects that are most notably a solid belly in reds. Getting rid of it in my...

I went back and forth on breeding mutts, various breeds, and crossing those breeds. I don't care so much about contributing to a breed because I'm not developing a breed and rarely have shown anything so had little established name for myself to sell to major breeders or be found by those...

The Dwarf Hotot is a small breed but the original Blanc de hotot is not that small at up to 11lbs. There's something like 70years between the creation of the larger breed and the new smaller breeder as people continually want smaller pet rabbits instead of ones with use for meat or fur. Hotot...

It shouldn't be any more issue than usual for the older doe to carry and give birth but it can be extra difficult to get a doe to breed and become pregnant after a long break. Small-medium breeds can breed quite young. I have had mini rex breed at 2 months before separating the litter once...

I'm not sure how well things would grow in just leaves. People do plant in hay bales though so that's plain, dried plant matter. Leaves don't go to waste here. What the city collects is free from the landfill before or after citywide composting. They also compost all wood chips and so...

Seramas develop fast and do even better on a gamebird feed than a chick feed. Same for some of the other small bantams. I fed them what I was giving the button quail and eventually just switched all chicks to being raised on the gamebird crumbles. Chick colors are near impossible unless you...

Technically you can breed anything. They are all the same species of rabbit just like all dogs are the same despite huge differences. The question is what you do with the mutts. Most don't have a demanding enough pet market for it and no area needs more random rabbits that don't have the...

The week has been cold, warm, cold, hot.... We found several new places to hike with less people (and more tasty horse manure). Still mostly brown out there but the horse trail yesterday was starting to get green where the weeds and leaves have been trampled away. That brought out lots of...

Mmmm.... Asian ginger soda. Fixes any digestive problem you have. Just don't stir it up unless you really love ginger spice because the slightly fermented root at the bottom is strong. I also keep a container of ginger tea around because it doubles as being useful to cover the flavor of...

If it were broken then you always have at least a 50% chance of broken in each kit. That's not typical of minimally marked broken though. Like said it can be partial dutch markings that frequently have snips and varying white around the front feet, shoulders, or neck.

That works if they can get around by themselves and eat grass. They will take shelter in the area and can locate their nest to a point. Mother rabbits don't move kits though. If they aren't running around and cannot be raised where you place them they will die regardless of the mother finding...

I found these of Enki later. He's mostly a separate line of pet quality chinchilla and sallander ND instead of sable but his great grandsire was a sable related to Rhi. Crossing to Rhi and Kido's(black sable) line I ended up doubling the himi gene again in the sallanders I was breeding...

I don't know of too much that passes between wild cottontails and domestics since North American native species don't get several of the serious diseases that spread through countries with European (our domestics) wild rabbits. Especially since mine were exposed to things on the ground already...

Raptor centers and other wildlife rehab will take donations as well as lots of both official and unofficial reptile rescues and breeders. Many also trade large and small rodents for each other on reptile groups. 1 breeder size rat can get me 100s of pinky-hopper mice for young snakes so only...

We'd go through 1 bag of feed for dozens of chickens over 3 months in summer but I was free ranging. The predators were eventually why we stopped. Stray dogs were actually our worst loss though until a fishercat moved in. The foxes, owls, hawks, and ***** could all be dealt with fairly easily...
