I think it is lovely that other people have breeding stock available that can be butched at 10-12 weeks, but my 10-12week bunnies are about a pound. My only option for meat is to keep them longer for them to grow into full sized adults for now. My huge pen is at the local farmers market up the...

You know I swear vets make up as much stuff, just to be safe, as doctors do, then the idea is around and so practised out of fear for so long that it becomes fact. In response to the opening which allows the testicles to enter and exit the body. If there is a whole there after the testicles are...

$30 is too much for a rabbit that will only bring me 14-16$ plus the feed to get him there

Call me and think of me what you will. So many other livestock are castrated on the farm by farmers I would like to know about the non-vet options for castrating rabbits. If noone has any ideas on how I would go about this in a safe simple planned out way(so it can be as breif as possible and...

There was too much blood for it to be just around the kits. She did really well the first day, than the second she slipped away on my. When i opened her up both horns were full of about 9 kits, about 3 weeks in I figure. There was one kit backward and forced back into the kit beind it and REALLY...

I start weaning at 4 weeks, I was taught that for every animal the earlist you can wean equals the length of the pregnancy, and have never had a problem, but it's a partial wean and the Moms kick around in the grow out pen up until sometimes until 12 weeks, they don't nurse anymore at that age...

I'd really like to know any information anyone has about what an abortion looks like. I have a doe from my colony that was acting "off" so I approached her and upon inspection saw she was bleeding from her vagina. She seems...quiet, a little sluggish but still pretty healthy looking. She did...

I have a surviving hairless bunny, who is thriving. He is missing all the fur on his back and sides, and some of his stomach, but has fur on his face and extremities. I know they are rare, and there could be someone out there who will love an appriciate him, but because of his rarity I want to...

Well with the mix of everything I have going, it's one more interesting gene in my diverse pool, if that is infact what it is. They started with fur, but are losing it now, so they did develope normal for a while. Cool link ;)<br /><br />__________ Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:18 pm __________<br /><br...

Ok so what does Otter refer to? the white belly? What about the one black Doe that has the brown behind the ears, vs the bunny black behind the ears?

We are building an awsome new huge pen! and right in the middle is a 6' high hill, made of askew stacked logs, tons of large rocks and boulders, dirt, and layers of native sod piled on top. I can't wait to move them in, I'll let you know how it goes since we are skipping the wire run underground...

Ok the bunnies are both well fed now being sectioned off and added to a younger litter. It is still just the 2 that are affected. I have a bunch of pics here of both or them. The very bald one is very lively and bright eyed, the other just seems a little sickly...

There are too many terms I don't know grouped togather so fast in this post, I hate to sound slow but it's really confusing like this. Kinda get it at first and assume "base" is base gene for color not the base color. I get agouti but then tan/otter still means nothing to me, same with the...

My rabbits are mostly for meat, and simple pets. So I'm really not interested in showing, especially since I though to show you had to have a consistant line or heritage, I really know nothing of it. Just that I have a bunch of large rabbits(which are hard to find around here) that throw a wide...
