Nope. Nicely written, but dosn't stand scrutiny. Minarls? Which would be much,much more concentrated in a piece of apple? Where would that come from? And so on. Doesn't make sense, The thing about palatability is a thing though, vingar was used in ancent times (one of the most misunderstood...

It has a catchy acronym, is said to do wonders, and different to other hypes it at least can't do any harm and doesn't cost a fortune. Imho, it does close to nothing. it's just vingar, highly diluted. No harm in trying it if you want to believe. Just don't relay on it to keep stuff like cocci at...

Uhm, I wouldn't relay on "essential" oils, they are neither essential nor always harmless, imo more a hype than anything. This is not about influencing moods or so. Allium plants, like chives, can be used to treat and prevent cocci, Michaels4garden did write quite a lot on that topic...

I had bales with mold too, it was in the core not the outside. Should remember to tear every bale apart and check before feedig it, luckily no problems with the buns. The problem was only with bales I thought i got a bargain because they were very compressed and heavy, but did cost the same as...

I really doubt that it has anything to do with protecting the kits - would be completly counterproductive in a natural setting, although something upsetting her might indeed cause the change of behaviour. A wildlife camera is a very useful tool. Anyway, they rather like an upright position to...

The position really looks like fur loss due to fur getting damp by tears, can be caused by an eye infection or blocked tear duct - which might have healed by now if everything looks normal and is permanently dry. if the eye really looks healthy, and the fur around the spot keeps clean and...

I'm lucky that we are 3 breeders in my road, most times I get a second opinion when it's time to seperate. But I discovered a mistake now and then through behaviour, mine get a lot of garden time. Bucks go to a place, dig a fist sized hole, and move on. Does do not do that. When they dig it's a...

If I were in your situation, I would go Rambo on rats right away. Lost too many kits that way, way more than to any other cause. Since commercial traps are on the weak side I even built the Rat Snap Trap From Hell that even I am scared of, utilizing the spring from a bike luggage rack. It's...

As for breed consideration - a few can have problems with wire floors, like very big breeds or Rex furred rabbits. Apart from that the differences from individual characters can be bigger than differences of breeds, although if you get to know the rabbitry and their line generally is friendly...

I seperate at about 12 weeks, the youngest of my does(9-10lbs meat mixes) that ever got pragnant was about 14 weeks at the time, the male culprit was the same age .

Hm. First I pet them and get the left hand on their head. If they are in the mood they lower to the ground anyway, if not the hand on their face does the job too. Next, I bend over the rabbit, slide the right hand under their chest and front legs, lifting the front slightly and replacing the...

Biggest difference between breeding rabbits to marrying cousins and breeding dogs really is that there noone is willing to eat the culls :D

Yes, safe to eat. If no medication was given there is no worry about that. There isn't much that would render a rabbit unsafe to eat when cooked properly, not even diseases like Myxo.

I would read up on that rules for tax or fees, here I think it would only apply if I funnel the water into the sewer. There might be issues with getting a permission for building a permanent structure, if you're inclined to bother to ask for one, lots of local differences there. I can't imagine...

Well right, but the question here was if this special type of fur compromises those adaptions, since it was bred for different reasons. I like forums better than Infosites, here you get several opinions and viewpoints, on a website just one opinion, which often can be not accurate to the...

Mine are outside in daytime all year too,. They do dig, but never to get out of the fence. Which is kind of just symbolic anyway, one side of my property is a crook that keeps them in. At least normally, now the crook is dry due to construction works upstream or frozen over, and my two younger...

For nesting material you can gather dead, dry grass, it doesn't need to be good hay like it is used for feeding. Or dry grass yourself if you have access to any. Mine aren't picky when it comes to nesting material, it just should be reasonable dry.

I do make about half of the hay I need myself. Around here toxic plants aren't much of an issue - buttercup is fine once dried, hemock close to nonexistent since the pastures here are used for cattle for many centuries, stuff like butterbur doesnb't effect rabbits. I also gather plants elsewhere...

Yes, I'm pretty sure that would happen. Good to read that things are going well :)

I'm sorry I cant help. I have relatives in the US, and have seen how... indifferent? this social structure is. My sister, nice and nephew keep their austrian citizenship, just in case. The way I learned I have more distant relatives over there was via GoFundMe, because they were trying to raise...
