Very true. Didn’t consider that.

Thanks, I looked on Etsy and craigslist and I thought the price was insane 🤣 I’d never pay that for it. LOL! And I don’t see anyone local to me paying that much either. It was like $9 per lb and more. I found a few local ads around here and they were about $1.50 per lb. Maybe the US has more...

How much does rabbit manure typically go for when selling? New to this and want to make sure I don’t ask too much.

LOL, definitely don’t have it down. On a small scale yes, as I’ll only be transitioning 4 breeders this summer and gotta go slow, but I have to figure out amount of grain to put in my bigger trays, which are the 10x20 like above. I’m not a big rabbitry and only have two litters at a time. My...

Okay, how the heck do you keep your kits in the hutch when you open the door 🤣 These bunnies are insanely fast and don’t understand there’s a limit/edge to the cage. And it’s made worse when there is 7+ of them coming to the door to greet you. We had one jump out 😬 its fine, LOL. But, my...

I did an experiment on what would work better to prevent mold as I don’t own bleach and refuse to buy it. So when I soaked my grain, I tried it in nothing but water, one with vinegar added, one with apple cider vinegar and one with hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide worked best and didnt...

Thanks! I cleaned it with this wash before applying the silver. Eye looks great today!

We use it often and it doesn’t burn. I decided to give it a try, no issues and the eye looks almost normal now today! I definitely don’t put it directly in the eye.

Its marketed as skin cream, because it can be used that way but it’s also for minor skin issues and cuts/irritations and that’s how we use it in our house. Not as lotion. It’s literally no different than an antibiotic ointment which is always suggested, but natural. The eye needs more than...

I’m in a pinch to treat a stuck shut eye. My antibiotic ointment has the pain killer in it so can’t use it. Is this safe? I know some ingredients are fine, just not sure about the grapefruit essential oil and hyaluronic acid. This cream has silver in it to be antimicrobial. Silver, Purified...

Thanks everyone. My nest box style can’t be turned on it’s side, the floor is removable and would just fall on them, and even though I keep adding hay, I have no idea what they do with it! it keeps disappearing. I don’t know if mom is eating it (cause I really don’t think they’d be eating all...

Thank you! Mine are New Zealand too, crossed with Cali and Flemish Giant. Same measurements for the floor wire too. I’ll likely remove it then, if not the next couple days. There was always the odd one that got out the last few days and we just put back, but they are all escaping Now. LOL

How soon can a nest box be removed? We were going to remove it at 3 weeks, but the kits are 2 weeks and 3 days old today and keep jumping out. Only reason they can is because they stand on another to get up higher and out. LOL They can’t jump back in either unless standing on another. So there...

No, it actually has one less. Litters of 8 (was 10 but two passed) and 7. I’m guessing it was due to being first time mom and needing extra support in the food? I gave her BOSS and it helped, the kits were full the next morning.

I had no idea it was part of the mint family! That makes so much sense now as to why the oregano I’m growing looked like mint leaves when young. I thought I dropped some of my lemon balm in it 🤣 I will try to avoid for now.

Figured I’d add that BOSS worked like a charm, for anyone else with this issue. They were all chubby and full this morning ❤️

Thank you. I’ll start supplementing her feed a bit and hope her milk production improves. As a side note, I haven’t been giving this to her since having the kits, but would like to start again, does oregano dry up milk? Would hate to add to the problem.

I was just reading about this today due to one of mine having a few white markings. Apparently they can carry a Vienna gene and come out looking like dutch but not actually be Dutch. Now, I don’t know if this is true I. Your case because I know nothing about rabbit genetics LOL but that’s what I...

Also, the two black kits that have the white line on their heads, is that considered a vienna mark? Just curious because the rabbitry we got them from treats their rabbits with ivermectin, and the breeders had it on the day we picked them up. Just wondering if I should avoid ever giving it...

These are my first litters so would like to hear from those who have more experience with these breed and kits. Litter 1: Doe - NZ/Cali cross, Buck - NZ/Flemish Giant cross. These kits are a week old today and starting to look like rabbits, much bigger, mom feeding them to FULL like their...
