    My newest 12 hole cage

    I'm not sure what NIC stands for, but I've used them for all of my doors and overall, I love them. There does seem to be a difference in the panels. I found out some come with much larger holes, like 2x2 or so. I couldn't use those for doors, the bunnies kept sticking their heads out! Also...

    My newest 12 hole cage

    I finally got the cages hung and complete. They are full of 12 inhabitants - all future show prospects! I bought the feeders from TSC. Not my first choice, but I couldn't find any others the day I needed them. The pans worked out perfectly and I had just enough. If I could have gotten 12...

    Pen G dosage

    The bottle states it is for both subQ and IM usage. I am treating some form of eye infection that thus far has been impervious to daily washing with water, then to daily eye ointment application, then to antibiotics in the drinking water. I am now giving an actual penicillin shot a chance to...

    2014 ARBA Nationals in Fort Worth

    I will be there and I will be showing English lops. I also plan on having a slew of juniors ready for new homes!

    Pen G dosage

    I didn't know there was a difference in the Pen G strength. I checked the bottle and it does say 300,000 units per ml.

    Pen G dosage

    I've done a search of the forum and found numerous suggestions, but can't really make heads or tails of them. I've decided I need to give Pen G to 2 of my grown English lop does. They are not bred or nursing, and weigh approx. 10 1/2 lbs. I've purchased small syringes with ml on them, I just...

    Upcoming project. One man's trash. Got some questions!!

    What a great find! Bet it saved you hundreds! We have a monthly "big junk pickup". The city will pick up just about anything. Of course, I have found all sorts of treasures myself. Just last month, picked up a dog crate and litterbox. Took them to the local shelter. Figured it was better use...

    Wire flooring

    No. Mine are all on Purina rabbit chow. They get occasional hay but no extras. Curiously, my show rabbits get supplements, and I've never had this problem. Only with the nursing does.

    stuff around the house

    Last Saturday - double show 3 hours away. Up at 4 am. On the road before 5:00. Did pretty good in the first show. Did real good in the second show. Won BOB and BOS. Didn't stay for BIS due to weather, but might have had a real good chance since everyone was leaving. Oh well. Got home just as...

    Open vs. Closed Rabbitry

    I've already answered once, with my position on open vs closed rabbitry, so I won't go there again, but I do want to say that I think much of the problem of "sales" has to do with what you are selling. I do advertise on craigslist, and recently also on facebook. I don't sell "Easter" bunnies, I...

    Wire flooring

    I guess it wouldn't be much of an issue if my brood cages weren't made entirely of a heavy gauge 1/2 x 1 wire. Most cages you can just roll the poops to the front or back of the cage and toss them out. Since these are made entirely of floor wire, the poop just wont go thru at all, and I end up...

    Wire flooring

    I don't have the largest size rabbits, so this can't be affecting just me, but my brood does seem to "supersize" their poops while raising babies and NONE will fall thru the regular 1/2 x 1 wire that normally works. I am constantly scraping, cleaning, scrubbing after they've stood on it all day...

    Open vs. Closed Rabbitry

    I have an open rabbitry and have no plans to change. I am not concerned about someone bringing "something" into my rabbitry. Hasn't happened in 20 years, if it does, I'll deal with it then. I show my rabbits. They are exposed to numerous other rabbits and people on a weekly basis. If they...

    Starting Out?

    It's fun that you are so excited about a single kit that is a day old.....but don't count your chickens just yet. A single kit has a notoriously bad survival rate in my experience. A mama that has a single kit tends to be a notoriously bad brood doe. I would start being concerned about most of...

    Headed to Pryor, OK 3/1. Anyone else?

    I'm sorry. I didn't see this before we left at 4 am. The facebook group I use is bunny friends show group. It lists the upcoming shows and has an events button that lists them all in dated order. The next show I will be attending will be the triple show in Duncan on March 14-15. I am pleased...

    Headed to Pryor, OK 3/1. Anyone else?

    Barring another freak wind storm that collapses entire trees on my front porch, I intend to make this show with my sister. I will have at least 8 elops and my sister will be showing, and selling, Satins. Anyone else? <br /><br /> __________ Thu Feb 27, 2014 9:54 pm __________ <br /><br /> I...

    Duncan, OK Show 10/12/13

    Sorry for being so slow. I couldn't get logged back in for some reason. Yes! I will have English lops for sale at Duncan. PM or email me with what you are looking for and I'll bet I can fix you up.

    My newest 12 hole cage

    Unfortunately, I don't make my own pans. I have a guy who will make metal pans for me, to my specs, for about 13.00 per pan. It's a little less if I need smaller ones, but he buys the metal and makes it the correct size, so a win-win for me. For these cages, however, I already have the pans...

    My newest 12 hole cage

    The 1x2 wire runs about 80.00 for a 100 ft roll. I still have enough left to finish a second set of cages, using the used cages I purchased, I think. The bottom wire was leftovers I had from previous cage builds. My sister and I go in together to buy it. I think its about 120.00 per 100 ft...

    My newest 12 hole cage

    With all these bunnies coming on, and a new, nearly empty barn, it was time to make some cages. Normally I make 3 stackers, but I need grow-out cages which didn't have to be quite as large. This was my first attempt, and it turned out pretty good. The cages are 24x24 and 14" high. The space in...
