So I was gifted with three blue eyed white does, one blue eyed white buck, one red eyed white buck and one broken black buck mini rex yesterday. Not counting the tri-color pair. All very VERY nice little beasts indeed. But I seem to remember something about the color and its not being all fun...

So, we had no deaths in over a week but I had to move them to their final spot beside the camper and it proved more final than expected. Moving stress was just too much for them. I culled the last three yesterday as I was tired of them going down one by one. Started with 21 beautiful kits and...

Walmart sometimes sells it in their pet section. I use the horse paste wormer version of Ivermectin, a pea sized dab rubbed onto skin inside the ears does the job for me.

Yeh, me too! I can't WAIT until our Florida 50-mile rule imprisonment is over and we can have rabbits in the UK where it is cool and the grass gets livestock so fat that cows look like over-stuffed couches.

Whatever it was it didn't hurt chickens so perhaps it was that. BUT if so, it is unacceptable for it to be in rabbit feed! :evil:

I can take a yellow onion tomorrow and offer it to them. Chives are on the list to plant asap and always have been but this has blown up so fast. Thanks for the thought, I will deff. try it. Having them so bloody far away is driving me mental! Fingers crossed we can have a few at least in...

What is the difference between showroom and registration colors?

Sorry to resurrect a thread - insert zombie bunny emoji here - but we are thinking about showing this fall and I was wondering the exact same thing. To the point of thinking perhaps only show a spare buck and eat him once we were done showing instead of risking bringing him home. But I think I...

The live ones look just fine, the dead ones are stretched flat, legs straight and heads right back. I have never seen anything like it. The feed smells fine and is fermenting with a nice smell, not as good as organic feed ferments but not bad. Only four of that litter left now, haven't lost...

I have tried to find online what colors are show-able for both Rex and Mini Rex but each site seems to say something different. What colors are show-able?

The older I get, the more I look at the world and think "What the HELL is that about?" and medicated feed is one of those things that make me think it. But no sneaky meds in this bag, it was the highest alfalfa/lowest nonfoods (think peanut SHELLS :shock: and the like) I could get for my...

I know this is an older thread but had to add, my rabbits LOVE dry dog food! I never thought to feed it as a supplement but yeh, good idea!

So times are tighter than ever and I had to put my herd onto conventional pellets four days ago to save money. Yesterday one of our 4-week old kits was dead for no visible reason and today, one of our junior does aborted her first litter. Having had no problems at all on organic feed, other...

I think about 16 ish weeks? Maybe more, maybe less? I will have to look that up. Not good at remembering dates, me. Two of that litter I have kept back, one that grew well at the beginning and outpaced the rest and one red with good color. We were all MOST cross at not being able to eat...

Lots of cocci spots on the livers of the three fryers I butchered this week. :( Will cocci slow growth even if it is causing no visible symptoms? This batch of fryers looked the peak of heath but had stopped growing while still eating like hippos.

They have all evened out nicely now. So cute.

What? Like, talk to the people in charge? Frightening thought, that is. :shock: :lol: My brother says "Your head is a really weird place to be!" about how my mind works but boxes are so boring! :D

So, while the idea I am toying with is not quite rabbit meat, I thought it might be best to put my question here as it does deal with live animals into meat. I looked online to see what snake meat goes for - a spark from a discussion with my kids - and discovered it goes for SHOCKING prices...

These are my very first fully pedigree Rex kits, both parents are papered. And the does last kits, peds only on her side, were all much of a muchness, size wise.

I have spent the last 10 or so days coaxing Taz onto the nestbox to give her litter an extra feed once a day as they all looked so bloody thin, she didn't seem to be making enough milk for them but with the extra time on the nest they have all lived. Yay! This is the day 40 litter that has 4...
