the logo with the name on the ribbon is the best so far, IMHO. If it were mine, I'd put the end of the bunny mouth up into a 'smile' instead of down grumpy looking. Also, a dot on the eye for the gleam, and the eyebrow either removed or set higher and further back so it's not grouchy looking.

Of course, all of this is just my opinion, I'm not a vet and don't even play one on TV, but my advice would be to get some Ivermectin - they sell it as a horse wormer at the feed store, an apple flavored gel. Put a dab of it behind the ears on both your bunnies. That'll clear up the wool mites...

for show rabbits, I start at one end and go to the other. A nice wide nose, wide head, upright and as tight together ears as possible. Face and ear "furnishings". The shoulders should fill up your hand if you arch your hand over them. The back arches up into a half sphere starting from the...

Lovely crochet blanket, Nibbles! Love the colors and that it isn't 'granny square'. Sorry to hear about your husband, MaggieJ. Losing a family member is hard. Hope your book goes well and that it is some sort of solace at this tough time. Started the actual construction of the new house...

There's quite a bit of difference between different rabbits. Some would be perfectly fine going out and about. I used to have a buck called "City Slicker", a blue English angora, who had a fan club at the knitting group. He'd go hang out with them every week and have a grand time being petted...

if there's a rabbit show in your area, that might connect you to some breeders. There's also transport folks and you can fly them on planes, too, if you an get the breeder to drop them off at the airlines. I've heard possibly can be shipped via greyhound bus as well? Not sure about their...

The hutches here are double high and they start about 18" off the ground. The lower level is about 24" tall and the upper level is about 30" high. Rabbits seem to enjoy more headroom if they can get it. I'll probably not build double high hutches again, though, because of the cleaning...

Here the only rat proof hutches are the nesting hutches. The big hutches aren't specifically rat proofed. We do have a Cat Goddess next door who feeds a feral herd of cats so there's a lot less rats around now and haven't seen a mongoose in ages. Right before a litter is due, rat baits...

Personally, I've not looked to see the actual mortality rate of impulse pets, I just assume it will be high. But then again, I don't have any rabbits for sale until three days AFTER Easter. If they still want them then, they can buy them. But, I try not to sell to the pet market in the first...

IMHO, if you want to breed for pets, a white NZ may not be the best choice. The smaller and more decorative breeds are usually the ones chosen for pets. Some folks find the albino NZ 'spooky' because of the red eyes. Also, lowering the price doesn't always sell the rabbits. At a really low...

Around here Moringa is more of a people food than a livestock feed, but I guess we can share with the buns.

The wet fur kinda simulates 'microfiber' type cloths. I made a wash cloth out of bunny yarn and it has a weird feel to it when using it. The fine fibers sorta grab/glide on the skin. There was only one washcloth made, it was sorta an odd result although with experimental knitting one can't...

FWIW, I don't think angoras come in either martin or otter? Harlequin isn't a recognized color, either, at least in English angoras.

May as well grow grapevines for jam, jelly & wine as well as for bunny food? Pick a variety you like to eat as well as feed to buns?

Rabbits seem to like to pee and poop in the same location. Move the box away from that location and she will probably quit using it as a litter box. Also, switching it for a new box will keep it from smelling like 'the place' as well.

Welcome to Rabbit Talk! One of the popular meat breeds in the United States is the New Zealand, although there's several others as well. With the name "New Zealand", one would expect it would also be popular there, too, but I don't know if it is. What climate conditions do you have and are...

Pretty much the same here, too. There's a wire toothed dog slicker brush which cleans the bunny fluff off after a grooming session. There is a grooming apron which generally stays pretty fluffy although that gets brushed off occasionally.

Hmm, was hoping the oats would help. Have you looked up her symptoms in Merck's online veterinary manual? Rabbits - Merck Veterinary Manual They know loads about rabbits, especially since they've been laboratory animals since before forever.

Pretty rabbits! Never heard of the breed, but we're on an island and have limited breeds available. There's also a pedigree program, Kintracks, which will tell you how inbred any two particular animals are. When dealing with a limited gene pool, that's a very useful function. It's an...

Try feeding a half cup of dry oatmeal at each feeding, that may fix the sneezing and nose drips. Might help with the very thin. How long have you had the rabbit and what has she been eating?
