    Summer and Silver Fox

    As it happens I was just speaking to a lady in Texas this morning about a blue SF doe. I am looking for a high quality BLUE doe if anyone has btw! At any rate, she said they adapted well to her climate, she got them locally and used just shade, frozen bottles and a swamp cooler to help them...

    Summer and Silver Fox

    I am in quebec, and while not known for heat we did have a record breaking summer and worse, forest fires that made the air quality horrible and visibly smokey and smelly quite a few days. My asthma was terrible so mine were in the house until the end of Jluly, then in tractors in deep shade...

    Suddenly Swollen Lips! Any Ideas?

    I agree take every precaution just in case it is something spreadng. But my first thought s abcess/infection, so I would check her teeth and around her face and neck for lumps etc.

    Pregnant Rabbit spotting?

    Well still nothing this morning! SO frustrating! But I have heard that does can go up to 38 days with no issues. So I am still hoping! So much for they breed "like rabbits",

    Thank you, much appreciated! I believe very much in the power of prayer and know they are Gods creatures. Both does were pressed up to their cage doors this morning sunning their backs! So they are happy, at least!

    Pregnant Rabbit spotting?

    lol I am hoping to observe but I work a LOT! As I know I have a 24 hr shift this weekend, I have decided to set up cameras to mind them and if there is a trouble call on my kindly but inexperienced neighbourette. She minds the dog when I am not home. So far the one doe seems to have strong...

    Pregnant Rabbit spotting?

    Nothing but 2 seriously jumpy does this morning and Joy was clearly busy fussing with her nest box overnight... there is now a rabbit version of a "door" She took the cardboard I had carefully cut to the bottom and side and wedged it into the entrance and appears to have moved all the carefresh...

    Pregnant Rabbit spotting?

    Ive notice in both does a decrease in appetite and drinking a lot more water. They also are a bit more jumpy... normally I give them all scratches when I do morning feed and night check and they tend to come to the front of the cage. Both girls were clearly not in the mood for attention...

    Pregnant Rabbit spotting?

    All-Natural Hay and Feed

    Interesting! do your goats eat pasture? Here the nigerians all have nice turn outs with long green grass at end of season, but all the bushes and trees are heavily browsed. Funny as they eat hay from the fields on the property when they go inside all winter! And I see plenty of wild cotton...
