    Does urine affect garden poo?

    I’m excited about the gardens this year. Rabbit urine contains calcium and garden soil becomes depleted of calcium, one of the reasons attributed to issues with tomatoes, blossom end rot, etc. Last spring, because I had no rabbits at the time, I had to buy fertilizer containing calcium for my...

    Breeding out a breed?

    Once I’ve confirmed the pregnancies or even wait until the kits are born, should I cull the sire? I am needing their cages and I don’t think I need the original sires, or does for that matter, once I have the next generation. Or, should I breed the NZ REW looking buck back to his NZ REW looking...

    Rabbit sold has died. What happened?

    Thank you. But I no longer own the rabbit. It has been out of my care for well over a month. So, it would be up to the people who purchased it.

    Rabbits or not

    You’re so spot on regarding the soil! We live in a housing plan built in the 1970s and tons of fill was trucked in to make our yards. If you saw a shovel full of my dirt, it’d make you weep. Pure yellow clay and rocks. I’ve been spreading natural wood chips on my garden areas for years, mushroom...

    Breeding out a breed?

    So, over the weekend we had 3 nice fall offs from the CA looking buck and the CA looking doe. I’m excited to see their offspring. My REW looking buck and doe were not yet successful at breeding, so I’m going to wait a few more weeks for them. Now for the serious questions: Once I’ve confirmed...

    Rabbits or not

    I totally get it. I was doing the same….relying on the system that we, as a people, constructed. When it all crashed in 2020, my eyes flew wide open. You can’t “unforget“ utter failure in a system and once open, there’s no closing your eyes again. I wasn’t raised like you were. My parents...

    Rabbit sold has died. What happened?

    She lives in central Pennsylvania. I’m in SW PA. Although I understand RHDV2 not yet to be in PA, it’s one of the reasons I keep my rabbits off of the ground.

    Rabbit sold has died. What happened?

    Hello @ladystown. Thank you for your answer. I, too, thought possibly a heart attack due to a fright of some sort. As for the customer, do you think I should offer her another rabbit? Same price? Discount? I would appreciate hearing your thoughts in this regard, as well.

    Rabbit sold has died. What happened?

    On March 26th, 2022, I sold a single buck to a buyer. This evening she contacted me to tell me she came home from work to find him lying dead in his outdoor hutch. On the day I sold him, he was 13 weeks, 1 day old and weighed 4lb 7oz on the day he left here. Today, he would have been 4 months, 5...

    Cage Cards

    So awesome! I’ve gotten to the point where I need cage cards. Great idea and I actually have a laminator collecting dust. Time to dust it off!

    Feeders and water - Meat Rabbits

    I just recently upgraded my J feeders for growouts to the wider ones. So, I’ve gone from a 4 inch wide feeder to a 12 inch wide feeder and I am so glad I did. If you can afford to get them from the beginning, go for it, I say. Note: I did not cut open the cages to fit the feeders. Instead, I...

    Dandelion- More Nutritious than Some Vegetables

    thank you. I will give this a try. How many flowers to brew an 8 oz cup of tea?

    New to rabbits

    My advice would be to hang if at all possible. Poo gets trapped on anything, even cage wire, although to a lesser degree. Hanging provides the greatest opportunity for the majority of feces to pass safely away. Like others have said, regardless of what you do, you will be tweaking and changing...

    Dreaming of baby bunnies!

    I started rabbits for meat, etc., last year for the same reasons. I was 59, hubby 56, and it’s been a doable proposition for people our age to delve into. As for dispatching, I was doing it all, but now hubby dispatches and I skin, gut, etc. I decided I could not dispatch because those babies...

    Dandelion- More Nutritious than Some Vegetables

    What method do you use for root drying? A dehydrator? On screens outdoors? Etc? Thank you!
