Yes, it is safe, except for those with the Vienna gene. I know you can give it in a shot, but I don't know anything about it. You can give injectable ivermectin orally, like the paste. The paste is 1.87%, and you give about a pea-sized amount. I think injectable is 1%, but you'll have to...

Yes, I know I'm nuts. 8-) It seems that in the course of his public housing inspector job this morning, my beloved Shay ended up the custodian of a little baby raccoon. His coworkers have predictably named the little booger "Bandit". :roll: He's been through a bit of an ordeal, but seems...

With 1% more protein, perhaps they aren't finished because they are satisfied with less. Then again, it could be they don't like it as well. Yucca helps lessen urine odor, which is definitely a plus for indoor rabbits and some outdoor setups. $5 is a LOT, if you are feeding a good number of...

Well, we just discovered a new neighbor! :P Galadriel and Bunny-Wan Kenobi were just finishing up some outside chores when a fledgling sparrow flew into the rabbitry and got lost. It hit the wall and fell to the floor, where one of the chickens caught it. The kids managed to rescue it...

It's a good thing you live so far away... they are so adorable!!! <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

No problem at all. :) Yes, I do believe I see babies moving around in there. :) Make sure she still has a nest box, and I'd probably give her a fruit-flavored Tums now and then (I wouldn't use mint flavored, because I'm not sure how much mint it takes to dry up a doe's milk). The calcium...

:lol: Yeah, I think I wouldn't be welcoming the opossums either. Funny about the ravens, though. We get ravens and eagles -- one day we saw a three-generation eagle family wheeling about the sky. Oh, goodness, I sure hope that dratted armadillo doesn't come back this year! :x So far this...

I'm sorry he didn't make it. :( It's all a learning experience, for sure!

Akane has a valid point, and this is an issue some members have had. Others have not, and some have had the problem even with kits that got all their milk from their mothers. Homer's improvement on the formula recipe includes a probiotic that will hopefully clear up the main issues with...

Yes, Walmart and many grocery stores have evaporated goat milk with the other evaporated milk (baking supplies). It would be better than the KMR, because KMR is cow's-milk based, and is not digested as well by baby bunnies. It may cause diarrhea. Still, it is certainly better than nothing if...

Yes, Klubertanz sells wonderful wire. They can be slow, but their wire is great! Bass Equipment and Woody's Wabbits also sell cages. No matter who you go with, I recommend 14 gauge GAW (galvanized after weld) 1" x 1/2" wire for the floors. I had to replace my 16 gauge Bass floors after 18...

Is it completely covered in fur? If not, could you post a picture? It could be an abscess. I have opened and cleaned out a couple of these, and I know OneAcreFarm has removed at least one. Abscesses are not easy to deal with, though.

Well, if there are only two, they are going to have trouble staying warm enough. You could put the two in with the litter born two days ago... you could even bring the whole nest to her once a day for a bit (and then space her feedings out more) to help relieve any milk engorgement she might...

Any horse-type grass hay is good for rabbits, as long as it has been kept sheltered (none of those round bales you sometimes see sitting in the weather). Bahia, Bermuda, Timothy... it's all fine, for kits and seniors. And you do not have to transition from one hay to another. Alfalfa is a...

There are, I suspect, very few members here who have never done something, believing it to be the right thing, that has resulted in rabbits dying. It's heartbreaking, but try not to beat yourself up. You weren't being abusive or neglectful, you were taking the advice of someone who should have...

Contaminated feed should smell musty. If you are familiar with the smell of good feed, you should be able to tell if it's "off". It should also be dusty. Naturally, feed has some dust anyway, but contaminated feed will produce dust in greater quantities that flies up into the air. The only...

Oh, now that's cool! :P

Wow, that's even faster than I thought it was absorbed! Thank you for the warming tip, too, M4G! :)

Niiiiiice! That's great that you've got an opportunity to cycle your system a little at a time! And sounds like a nice plan for your purging, too. :hooray:
