Alice was one to do the grind from contentment, and I don't think this is that (yet.) One of the main reasons I don't think it's that is because he was grinding a lot after the incident, and it's been getting (slowly) less and less, and I feel we are still in the uncomfortable stage perhaps due...

Spoiled. Rotten. This picture he almost "flopped" himself right off the side! "Are you going to take me inside yet? This outside stuff is for the birds.. and Della." He's slowly gotten a little bit better, I'd say he's about 90% well. The 10%? His insides are still worrying me. He...

Beautiful buns! I know nothing about Angoras so I'm of no help to you, but they do look a little unkept to me. Again, I know nothing about angoras and perhaps this is a common look for them? I feel they should be fluffier without the clumps, it may be an indication of them not allowing grooming...

Awe!! He's adorable! I just love him, he's such a cutie pie!

Happy mother's day Buttons! I know I'm a day late but, hey, I was busy with my mother and mother-in-law yesterday ^_^

She's so pretty! Congrats! I also love those curly whiskers, "mad scientist" whiskers! :mixing:

Thanks Maggie! I really like how her whiskers are two-toned, 2/3rds of them are dark and the last 1/3rd at the ends are white (or cream, hard to tell)! Reminds me of my dog who has 4 different bands of color in her guard hairs. I asked her about the mascara and she said she just rubs her face...

Well I just pulled Pips out and set him on the floor next to the fresh harvested willow and he's munching away! I suppose it helps he doesn't have any sowthistle to tempt him away from it :lol: He's really enjoying the leaves. I'd like to think I'm not weakening and this is just a great deal...

Unfortunately no, he really has no interest in the willow be it the leaves or the bark. I'm just glad he's taken to the prickly lettuce really well, at least there's that. I may go for a walk this evening and pick up some more fresh stuff and give that a shot, I actually found a willow tree that...

We tend to go the frozen bottle route for all our buns during the summers but I've also heard of doing the damp sand method and we are going to give that a shot this go around. The gist of it is a small tray of sand in their cages, and keep it damp so they can lay on it and cool off without...

It sure is! I normally rely on the backyard meat rabbit facebook group for questions but I left facebook back in January for my college semester (it was going to be a heavy load and I didn't need any of my time sucked into the FBookMonster) and I had to turn to forums. The semester is over now...

Ahh!! How exciting, I can't wait to see the pictures!

We had Nubians growing up and we raised them for both milk and meat. I thought they had really good milk (and meat!) but I was also a teenager and what on earth did I know? But I'm pretty sure my father really did his research as he is that sort of guy, absolutely won't make a knee jerk decision...

Thanks Sarnia! The meat balls aren't cute at 3 weeks? Not even that "You're so gosh darn ugly it's adorable" stage? I just miss having chickens in general. Growing up we had barred rocks and game hens, they were all my special pets with names and personalities. Until Dad ate them of course...

Do it!! I'm not experienced with them at all, but I'm chomping at the bit to get mine. I think the black otter doe has been born so I'm just waiting on her to turn 8 weeks old, and the brown otter doe might be born too but the breeder might keep her.... Anyway, what I'm saying is that I'M...

To be honest I think this is really neat! I also like to honor animals once they have passed by using all of it and leaving as little waste as possible. I have thought about tanning my husky's hide when she passes (in like, 6-8 years) to keep honoring her memory instead of letting it go to the...

I second what Shazza recommended, I picked up a bottle of penicillin from tractor supply and keep it in my refrigerator. Rabbits don't need much so I have plenty for like, years. (Unless it expires soon, I should check the date) also the needles and syringes are really quite cheap as well, I...

I know it's already been suggested but I was also going to second the food grade diatomaceous earth recommendation. That's really good to know about ivermectin though! I need to get some on hand for my "just in case" cabinet. You'll have to let us know what you end up doing and how well it worked.

Thank you everyone!! I cannot tell you how relieved I was to see his bright little face peaking through the carrier door, I had put off going into the room for a little bit after I got home because I was just so worried. Schrodinger's cat and all that, if I don't see him then he can't be worse...

Oh my gosh, HE'S BETTER!!! :cheer2: he's not 100% but if he was 60-70% before, he's about 80-85% now! This morning he was the same, not really noticeably better but thankfully not worse. When I sat down this afternoon he not only came to the gate, he hopped up to put his paws on it like, "Hey...
