@Alaska Satin I can see what you mean about it being veiny. I think we are both morbidly inclined there. I can definitely try to add more foliage to it so it looks "bushier" but not sure how it will look. I'll upload a new pic once I get that done and we can all see how it looks...

Hello all you rabbit loving people! I have been working on trying to do a new logo for the rabbitry. From all my sketches and brainstorming for the last few months I have come up with this so far. Please let me know what you think.

I am in Northern California and so far I haven't seen any issues with the pellets in my area. I have been using a local feed mill that isn't too far away from me who does mill everything from local sources. I also do feed local hay and have 3 beds in my garden dedicated to the rabbits.

Thank you @Alaska Satin it helps to relearn what I have obviously forgotten. When I reached out to the breeder again I was just told that the Parents look just like the babies picture just bigger. I do have my Fawn Flemish Giant that I can test breed him to and see what comes up. I am looking to...

Th mark on her hind leg was from me brushing it to the side to show the colors being there as well. As they are already half way through this first molt and the fur along their spines are not pulling out I have to assume that the color is permanent until the adult coat comes in. So maybe in...

Alright, time for some reeducation for myself. I have a trio of 4.5 month old New Zealand Black rabbits. I was going through and checking over everyone and doing grooming, mainly taking out mats in the foot fur. They do have brown eyes, no marbling that I can see so unsure if they could be self...

I did a quick google search, as I am terrible with the genotypes still, and this website allows you to put in either color or genes. Might be worth it to try it out. https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/rabbit-color

I have to say I like the idea of using the metal window screen for the bottom as well as the cup hooks on the back to keep it from shifting around. But admittedly I would still put in a couple shorter screws on the front corners to keep it from being shifted left and right by the momma's. I am...

Aviodont, yes, that depression in the floor is what I mean by hanging nest box. It is made entirely out of the .5" x 1" floor wire. I ended up surrounding the entire rabbitry in the 1" mesh chicken wire. Including giving myself a false ceiling with the wire. I also added 2"x6" boards around the...

Oh I know they are not on my side as they do not consider rabbits as livestock. But if I was having issues with bobcats, Lynx, or even coyotes I could do something about them and they would be on my side. But alas that won't happen as the ranchers keep those in check long before they get into...

The flash tape would be an emergency option and not very effective as I have neighbors with it up to try and keep their chickens safe. As I have the chicken wire on hand we are going to start with that. We are also going to be purchasing an entire roll of shade cloth to cover the upper portion...

Welcome to the forums!

The birds can only get their beaks through the wire as it is 1" x 1" spacing on the sides. The cages are secured enough that the birds cannot get into them anymore. That was a problem the first year when I took them out of the colony and set them up in cages. The mesh on the roof of the cage was...

My original meat rabbit theme was Cooking implements for the breeders and food names for the offspring. ie: Stewpot and Kettle (breeers), Blood Sausage and Tacos (freezer camp specials), then on ones that I was on the fence about keeping or not I had names like Rotisserie. Granted the one so...

Here is a few pictures of the rabbitry as it sits. The video I took is too long apparently. The Dutch cages are 1/2" x 1/2" besides the 1/2" x 1" bottom and the 1"x2" door. They are leaving them alone and only going after the Flemish kits. I moved Clerise's kits into the metal nesting box as...

No. I would be using a pellet gun. As far as the pictures it will take moment to get those loaded onto the computer.

Most times I start to see them decline around the 5-6 year mark. With larger breeds, like my Flemish, that can start around 4-5 years.

I tried having them enclosed with wire and a door I had to go through to take care of the rabbits and they wove their way through the layers of wire and back out. I do not have a building I can house them in that I could keep cool enough in our area. It gets to 115* here and as I am close to a...

As the does get older they become less fertile. I retire my does when the normal litter size drops to half or less for two litters in a row. Depending on the doe, she either goes to freezer camp or enjoys retirement as just a pet who gets to trim the grass around the garden during the growing...

I sent a message to Nibbles yesterday and was told I should post it in the forums so I can hopefully get some insights from you all. The fallowing is what I had messaged and the things I have tried so far. I will however, be trying to call CDFW again this morning and trying to get a permit again...
