I know that Bluekote will dye a white hide purple - then the rabbit sadly became a hide - and, 9 years on, it's still the same color :lol: so I know it can be done. But any internet search I do is just confusing so thought I would ask here instead. Sharpy marker does NOT work - internet...

The outfit sounds lovely, anytime I make anything my family nabs it. :roll:

Wow, just WOW!!! You rock!

Names are Boris for the buck and Natashia for one doe - both names from Rocky and Bullwinkle - and the other doe is Fifi from Dangermouse. No litters yet, about to give them a try as the spring weather should give them a boost. Sadly, not really. :( After all these weeks they are still...

Oooooo beautiful!!! Do you have any problems with caked up bums? I have a fluffy, small breed cross and she had it at this age and now one of her kits had it - keeping an eye on that one - but I was wondering as I washed it all off (how can manure get shield hard in such a short time?) how...

That is what I thought but wanted to be sure. The color pallet is sooooooo limited and no brokens at all for sale anywhere! :(

Some thoughts - a nest trap is a great thing to have for evaluating your hens. It lets you know who is ACTUALLY laying the eggs and not just sitting in the nest box. :roll: The other is, I ALWAYS set eggs as soon as the hen starts laying, as long as it is a normal-looking egg it will give a...

About to start trying the new Rex trio, the buck is castor, both does are chinchilla. With no history of them at all, what should I expect, color wise, from them?

That is so funny M4G and how typical of bunnies! I had a doe once that would not lift if she could be seen and was fast as lightning at getting "done" as soon as my back was turned. It took almost a year for me to figure out how to get her bred and a live litter from her. Of course, as is...

Of course, you are happy, solving a problem is always so satisfying! :D I was going to suggest an extra large cage and a pair living together for three weeks. That has always worked for me with a slow buck.

It all sounds amazing!

That price was per whole, unwashed, fleece. The lowest price I have found so far but I never pay more than ten pounds each for the fleeces I buy. There are better quality fleeces for higher prices but as I am felting rather than spinning, my needs easy to meet with lesser quality wool. But I...

We rescued one - dumped into our rabbit barn at 4H - and cut her free of her mats. Then managed to breed her - WORST MOTHER EVER!!!! - and bred back her kits to see if we could get anything worth having. Wound up, with huge effort, with 4 rabbits that were in a perpetual cycle of groom them...

BEAUTIFUL!!!

That is exactly what I needed, can work with that really easily! Thank you VERY much!

Being able to buy very cheap root veg, mainly carrot, and swede means not only are we eating lots of them - mmmmmmm love them mashed together with loads of butter - but that the rabbits are having loads as well. So I started wondering, as I dump huge piles of peelings and chunks into each cage...

Hardly heresy DW, just your personal experience. I found rabbits and chickens ate, cup for cup, the same amount but chicken food was cheaper than rabbit food. Until I started feeding fermented feed which meant they both got the same amount spent on them. Chickens are easier to feed than...

They were alive when last I checked so fingers crossed! __________ Wed Jan 27, 2021 7:18 pm __________ Had to hold her on the nest this evening. She ripped me up pretty good :evil: but she gradually relaxed, had a rather surprised look between her front legs, and started cleaning the...

Get whatever rabbits are available to you and breed from them. Even dwarf stock if that is all you can get. That way you get the experience of producing your raw meat, you have your cages in place, and when things go back to a bit of normal, you will be ready for better bred stock. You also...

I just checked the going price for angora here in the UK and sticker shock indeed, between seventy and one hundred fifty pounds! :shock: Sell one and buy lobsters indeed! :lol:
