    Should Medical Care be a Right?

    I will probably get tarred and feathered for this but...I think what scares the American more than anything is what we see as abuse...What do we pay for? what is basic health care? I would willingly pay for the birth of a child but I refuse to pay for an abortion. I will pay for reconstructive...

    110 degrees and counting

    In intense heat the air has to be moving..I know Arizona is not very humid like a lot of you folks are dealing with but heat is an unavoidable issue here. Air flow, shade,frozen bottles or floor tiles, even. I use misters but the evaporation rate is much better here. Sometimes just hosing off...

    Pricing question

    It is probably because you are paying for the breeders name...when you show or breed to sell you then sell his name. Very little to do with the rabbit, I see it a lot with people who sell the small breeds. But I have seen it with F.G. as well..almost double the price for the ped...

    Cage question for those with PET bunnies.......

    There is also stuff that you have around..pine cones, tuna cans(make sure you crimp down any edges). My buns like the large cans like tomatoes come in with both ends removed, they put them on their heads :lol:, large plastic cat balls (dollar tree has these) the heavy cardboard tubes like the...

    Better to have one single rabbit, or a bonded pair ?

    Just a suggestion. .take a look at suzie s set up..she has 4 or 5 and nit a lot of issues..I think it's due to lots of space and stimulating toys...she is pretty new to bunnies too but is doing a great job. :)

    My first litter!!

    Shade and fans..I have a mister system. But I would think your humidity would just make it a sauna. If evaporation is good there you may want to try it. I read where someone put those little battery operated fans right on the front of the cages...on YouTube there are some bucket and ice chest...

    Nest boxes - Solid bottom or wire? Which do you have?

    I use wire bottom too..We make our own so we can tailor it to the doe. We only breed in winter so I set the box on a piece of heavy card board, turn it over every couple of days and take it out when it is to wet.

    How do you pick up your rabbits?

    That is the way the guy we got our first rabbits did it..Hubby still does it occasionally. ..I don't like it myself it seems to stress the bun out. I use the method Mamasheepdog uses..it takes some practice and the buns need to learn to trust you. But if you do it with the kits they don't know...

    How to manage an aggressive bred doe?

    Bribery works really well.. a couple of raisins or some parsley, even cilantro... talk or sing to them softly also, I know it sounds weird but it works most of the time. If she knows you are coming and not trying to harm her she should calm down. And Welcome to the forum!!!
