    Black Friday tab - needs serious re-evaluation

    Although that is suspicious, it may still be coincidence; I am not multilingual, but since last year I do get occasional french and less frequently some Spanish ads. I have never searched in those languages, visited a website in those languages, nothing. No reason for the languages to start...

    Boarding Rabbits?

    Tambayo hit the nail on the head. It is an interesting niche that might have a market; you'd likely not make money and only hope to break even for years, though. If you're serious about it, I'd suggest talking to dog boarding kennels. There would obviously be species differences, but their...

    Bragging about my latest rabbit tractor

    Another summer ended, and not many alterations. I discovered that those wire shelving panels that are popular for modular pet cages fit perfectly in the sides of the pen, so now all mowers have 2x2 fences. We did end up following the suggestion of adding plastic to the bottom edge. Just along...

    Rabbit Growout Pen

    https://rabbittalk.com/threads/bragging-about-my-latest-rabbit-tractor.35466/ If you do a rabbit mower, you'll be able to feed fresh grass in the summer. Plans for what I use are in the pasted thread(scroll to summers post); for a growout, don't use 2x4 wire on the walls, use 2x2... And be...

    Should I leave nesting boxes in the rabbits cage all the time?

    Sounds like they resist more at the start of the trip, and calm down once they're carried. First to do is find a way to get them to the front of the cage without wrestling; for my reticent buns, I keep an egg basket in their cage; not an Easter basket, but those wire frame ovals that have the...

    Pedigree question

    Tender meat, cooks well and not chewy like the same age in meat rabbit legs cooked in the same pot.

    Pedigree question

    If you like apps or if you like websites, I recommend rabbitryassistant.com(edited for spelling error). it's a full rabbit management app. It has the fields you need to keep pedigree data, but allows you to create custom fields, so that you can track your pedigree with whatever you want to...

    Is plum wood safe?

    If they eat everything you give them, maybe consider it more. But If they're already picky, then they probably haven't had their foraging instincts bred out of them; they'll decide what is good to eat and what is not. They also might just chew and not eat; sometimes it's a toy to them and not...

    Doe not receptive

    I'll add to this: bleach it also. If you have a way to destroy the smell, then when you put it back in a different spot it won't smell like it used to be a litter box. If she nested at all, you can add in any fur/nesting material she used (that wasn't covered with pee), to make it smell like...

    What's in your rabbit first aid kit?

    I've gotten polysporin eye drops off the shelf before. For a while it was behind the counter but not requiring a prescription. Now it's back on the shelves.

    I have 7 rabbits, but I don't know what 5 of them are.

    You can still tell a little from the kits, maybe a pic of those? Not knowing the sire of the kits does make most conclusions still a 'maybe', but it can confirm some recessive traits.

    Water setups

    I can't say what is the best, but here's review of what I've used: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B018T9QZ70?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. Brass Rabbit nipples, with t connectors, designed for use with surgical tubing. Great for heated winter housing, and for summer use. Downsides are: -Intended to...

    Water setups

    Although you wouldn't see the water consumption, you could with the right setup still see the urine output; not as accurate, but better than nothing...

    Weather-based color changes?

    I've read other posts on the forum explaining how Himalayan coloring works (can't recall where right now). There's less information on the Internet about it, but other rabbittalkers have cited published resources explaining that the Himalayan coloring is temperature regulated. One description...

    Doe with swollen lump

    Has she been given any anti inflammatory ( aspirin or willow bark) or anti biotic (polysporin or vet prescribed internal medicine) treatments? There are some things it could be that would require a vet, ie tumors etc, or some things that will go away on their own ie blocked milk duct. I don't...

    Ivermectin question.

    Put a bead of paste on your finger that is the same size as a typical frozen pea. Personally, I give less than a pea size; I found that a mm thick smear on the index finger is still enough to take care of fur mites, at least. If you've got a bigger parasite or the problem continues, the pea...

    Claire, Snowball and Snowflake

    Best to make sure to get the Mrs spayed eventually. When we talked to the vet about if neutering really did extend the life expectancy of a bun, he said that for males, it maybe extends by a negligible amount, but for females it was a phenomenal difference. Unspayed does (mated or not) tend...

    Early Nesting Behavior(?)

    Those early nests are usually a piece of art, though. Most nests I see are just a pile of hay with kits and fur in the middle, but the few early ones are structural masterpieces that have supports and almost look like a woven basket. The kits arrive, and it doesn't last more than a few days...

    We bred her 42 days ago…

    I had that happen once, too. In October, I took out the nest box because she was over a week late. A week after that, kits on the wire, on a -20 day. No losses
