Racken house...it's a thing. I don't believe there's an issue housing a rabbit cage/hutch in with chickens in and of itself as long as there is plenty of ventilation and minimal dust (Although chickens are very dusty and maybe use hemp in coop versus pine shavings to cut down on that - did he...

I'm so tired I can't see straight. Yesterday I worked my job all day, rabbit chores, cleaned out Momma's nest box (kits are 10 days today), made two weeks worth of raw dog food plus prepped organs for the next six weeks of food in freezer (I need a good grinder 🙄), then built a stacked set of...

I found it interesting that I just saw this post on Facebook yesterday by someone who just butchered a rabbit they said had mega-colon...

Following closely as I have yet to dispatch and my biggest concern is doing correctly, quickly and humanely...

Ha! It was great meeting you both as well. I'm so thrilled with Ruger and he's doing really well, definitely happy to be in the building...your setup gave great inspiration. We got the thermostatically controlled louvered exhaust fan installed and operating yesterday and have been keeping good...

Thank you so much for this, I'll definitely be combing through it.

All really incredibly interesting (you should know I've printed all of the info in this thread)! I really enjoy learning about the genetics and it's probably a good thing I'm not independently wealthy as I'd have multiple barns dedicated to different breeds and mixes...this is truly addictive.

Good to know what I'm looking at, thank you for helping me understand. (And now I have another reason for sticking with the solid silver foxes...:rolleyes:)

I really appreciate the time you took to break it down for me, incredibly valuable information and I absolutely concur with you on needing to steel myself on a possible mercy-cull mid gestation should we get that far. I know it would hit me harder. With everything I have read and following...

This is my buck, was told he had some Rex in him but I really don't know. Apologies for the fuzzy picture, I haven't wanted to disturb them during this first week taking them out...

I know the buck was broken, I don't know about the mother.

I should have done a comparison picture so buck's is on top, young doe on the bottom (it looks even worse to me now that I put them side by side...😢):

Although my plans are to breed Silver Foxes, I picked up a trio of meat mutts this past weekend to work with and get a bit of experience under my belt before my young SFs arrive. I was paying very close attention their eating, drinking and elimination as I was concerned about the stress of...

Wow. You aren't far from me, about an hour (I'm just outside of Granville). And yes, the SF I'm waiting on are only weeks old so I was figuring 8 months old for breeding. I would definitely be interested in keeping you as a contact (I'll find you on Facebook) for adding to my SF stock in the...

Currently in search of a proven breeding trio of meat rabbits. I am new to raising/breeding/processing rabbits and would like to get some experience under my belt. I have deposits down on two breeding trios of pedigree Silver Fox rabbits but they won't be of breeding age till next year and am...

Wow, the trio you described is extremely thoughtful and exactly what I'm trying to find as a beginner myself as my SF trios won't even be ready to come home for another few weeks so won't be of age to breed till next year.

It seems I like keeping a zoo! Cat: Smokey - he's a purebred Ragdoll but rather likes being a barn cat/accomplished varmint hunter rather than the prince he looks like. Cat: Sylvia, who's original name was Sylvester till we figured out he was a she, rescued as a scared stray at an RV park on...

Good Morning Everyone, New to the rabbit world and have already found this site to be a great resource. A little background- I had planned for many years to have a small setup mainly for the purposes of food assurance, knowing/controlling what my food was made of and knowing it's humane. Now...
