It started on the back behind the ears and spread back and to the sides. `What is left is all full length, doesn`t look nibbled. And it is clearly just two and the two skinny ones, they do seem smaller and skinnier but they have no fluff either, but even their heads look slimmer and they have...

Ok Ive googled and looked around alot of places but I have yet to find a good enough guide to be able to figure out what I have in my herd aside from the obvious. And since my rabbits came from a herd of mix large breed rabbits there are quite a lot of variations in my litters. Is there maybe a...

I had 5 litters withing a little over a week, in a colony setting, and after about week 3 all the bunnies jumbled up and started jumping nests, then congregated into one giant litter. The Momma's were really good about fostering everyone. A few days ago I noticed that one of the bunnies from the...

Frosted-I tried to search the link but couldn't find it, if you find time can you post it for me? Just a thought to play with the not being EC because of recovery What if the the decline in body mass and weakness was the stressor that resulted in the parasites ability to thrive, and by...

The bunnies in the house are still alive and seem to be bouncing back quite literatlly! Just starting my day so lots to check, tend, research and weigh to see if maybe I can help make life a bit less of a battle for the buns in this cold snap ;)

Yes I love House, and that is exactly why I didn't throw around diagnosis, and tried to share the symptoms to see what other people would come up with without being bias to my ideas. I also agree and have thought from the begining that there is a good chance of having multiple diseases either...

It seems like something has been lost in translation. If I was sure of what it is I would have treated with Feb already and be on it by now, especially at the rate I'm losing rabbits. I'm here trying to learn and understand and give the full picture and story to my knowlege. Not discredit you...

Alot of my research says that inutero is the second way it is transmitted, the first is by spores in the urine of an infected rabbit and either injested or inhaled. I have the symptoms listed in the 4th post from the top I don't have any old or infirm rabbits, my oldest adult is 3 years old...

I have been doing alot of reading and have found some great resources. But I am still concerned for my whole herd and wondering if they might all be at risk. I've decided the litters that are due I will be removing the mother except for 2 feeding times a day and keeping things SUPER clean. I...

THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL POSTS TO COMPLETE THE STORY FURTHER DOWN About a month ago I was contacted by a man I bought some rabbits off of in the spring, he asked me if I would like to take the rest of his colony containing 3 does, a buck, and 3 litters of different ages. When I asked him why he...

just out of curiousity, how frozen were they. I just lost two litters after leaving for a day, and came back to them frozen solid one litter at 4 days, another at almost 2 weeks and I had to try. In the spring I had a duckling that fell in the freezing pond and I found frozen stiff in the...

I have no imput as to what the wild rabbits do. But here where we only have 5-6 months where the ground isn't frozen we have come up with a solution. We approached local grocery stores and asked that the keep our bins in the back, so that any produce they would normally throw out they place in...

shara- Yes raw. They always have hay, grain, pellets, and potatoes, and eat ALOT of the potatoes. One year he fed his cattle from a mountain of mashed potatoes, huge, we needed 3 huge tarps to cover it that winter, and we would have to shovel it into tubs to take to the barn right across the...

My father in New Brunswick canada, has fed potatoes for decades as a staple to all his animals, rabbits, pigs, cows, poultry, they have other feeds available as staple as well, but chored out there include dumping 5gl buckets of potatoes in the colonies evey few days, he has stalls filled with...

I think I will be posting a full thread regaurding my set up soon, though I am not sure where best to put it

We are in a colony not cages

I don't think anything gets a chance to thaw right now, as soon as it softens, or is just down to ice crystals instead of a frozen solid chunk they are wearing it down as far as they can. But you are right during the warmer months I will have to ration it out accordingly alot better. Right now...

My pens are outdoors too, and the rabbits would have the shed and breeding shelves to themselves.

I have an arrangment with our local grocery store, all of their unsellable produce and scraps and they put in garbage cans that I provide. Every few days when the cans are full I go pick them up. Of course I go through every can, alot of the food has just tiny blemishes so I take out what is...

see I'm not sure if I would allow the chickens in the shed. I would really prefer to have ducks though, I find them much less aggressive, and much cleaner.<br /><br />__________ Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:48 pm __________<br /><br /> See I was wanting to incubate my own eggs like I have in the past...
