Well that's just peachy! I looked at the wife and confidently predicted she's definitely in kit 🤣🤣🤣

Small bit of history. This is Fifi our doe that we couldn't get a fall off for exactly two weeks, we had tried on various days during that time but no dice.. Then on Saturday we finally got one fall off. So yesterday (Sunday) all was normal. We go out this morning and boom she's pulled fur like...

Hmm... which one do I fancy? I can use concrete cages or I can live in Hawaii? That's not a tricky decision :) p.s. Love your website (y)

I've been an hvac engineer longer than I care to mention. Damn I just worked it out it's 41 years! So here's my little bit of advice. Installing an a/c unit in an uninsulated lightweight exterior building will do a few things. The unit will run itself into the ground and you'd be lucky if you...

You may well be correct unfortunately my French currently doesn't stretch that far to ask about their history in that much detail. I often see second hand units for sale but I'm not a fan of them as a cage in general. The wire fronts are always rusted as you said, plus the thought of...

I'm always open to new ideas and I thought people here might find it interesting. Obviously a lot depends on climate and to some extent the culture of rabbit keeping in your country. Like everyone around here my house is built out of granite with walls that are just shy of 3ft thick. Cool in the...

So, I thought you guys might find it interesting to know how the French cage their rabbits. I doubt anyone is going to want to change to a different system and it might make you feel good about yours. Wire cages are available but most people here (except me) use concrete sectional cages. I...

I don't think we're brave enough to do that and I'd hate to think I did them any harm because of our impatience.

Finally (after 2 weeks of trying) we got a fall off today. Our buck Cheddar always does the same thing after a 'result'. Squeak, fall off, and then a quick thump with his hind leg. So we know it was a goal. We're going to take her back to him later today to see if he can definitely seal the...

This is fascinating and could be a game changer for us. If we were to add an additional nesting box the other end could this work in one of our tractors? The run alone is 2x1 yards.

Dandelion and burdock is a beverage consumed in the British Isles since the Middle Ages. It was originally a type of light mead.Traditionally it was made from fermented dandelion and burdock roots, hence the name. If there's a vague chance you can eat or drink something you can bet good money us...

Up until 10 months ago our garden was a hay field / cow pasture so sowing it with clover sounds great. Thank you!

She breeds Silver Fox and Creme D'argent so a good size medium meat breed I guess?

This is our first year here where we are organised enough to grow fruit and veg. For us, we've planted fruit trees and started some onions are garlic (This is France its the law :)) . Does anyone grow any vegetables to supplement their rabbits or is it not worth the growing space? Or is...

Thanks for this, I'm making my own nest boxes what dimensions are the ones you're using? I'm basing my dimensions around this from Teal Stone, is it any good?

Well it's day 9 of trying and still no dice. They'll spend literally hours together chilling out which has become quite endearing really. Those longer days can't come quick enough ☺️

We'd like to give our rabbits some cardboard boxes to hide in, chew and jump on but we're bothered about the glue, tape or staples. Does anyone have any suggestions about making cardboard rabbit safe? Thanks

Thank you for the response. Now I'm really torn, we would have liked them to have litters simultaneously but I don't think I'm brave enough to leave them unsupervised. We tried again yesterday in his run and it was more of the same. On the upside I'd rather have this behaviour than having to...

I'm not too fussed it's just that I would have liked to run the two litters together for finishing after they have fully weaned. My "plan" was wean each litter at between 7 and 8 weeks. Then split them into males and females to finish them in groups in tractors. I was assuming that I could mix...
