    Why I cannot advocate "pet" related rabbit websites...

    I'm not saying I do or don't advocate "pet" rabbit sites, however, I'm on the outs here in saying I don't totally disagree with the originally posted flyer. I also don't entirely disagree with the fact that some people will do any and everything to keep their "pet" rabbit alive. To most people...

    Selling Out of Jersey Woolies

    It's sad to hear you are selling out of your Jersey Woolies. I can vouch that you have some beautiful bunnies. It's very tempting, because Woolies are still my favorite small breed as well. I understand that hard decisions have to be made sometimes. I hope you can find great show homes for your...

    Show cart question?

    I bought this same type cart at Northern Tool and it was approx. 55.00. My only complaint is that while carrying cages will set double on it, I have a hard time opening them to get rabbits out. If I had it to do over, I would get the one that was a little bigger. Overall, I love it tho and it's...

    Buy or build cages?

    The height of the cage is up to your preference, but most of your commercial cages are only going to be 18" tall, at most. I raise English lops which are 9-12 lbs, and giant chinchilla, which are 15 lbs, and make all of my cages 18" tall. Most of my cages are 24 x 36, but I am planning on...

    Small victories

    I expect to be in Skiatook. It will be nice to compare, to see if these bunnies really are any good. I'd like to say they are out of so and so's lines, but mostly they just have names like Fred and Phoebe. Irregardless of how they are as show bunnies, they are truly some of the sweetest, most...

    sick dog advice

    A week with diarrhea is too long. I'd be taking one or both of them to the vet for a professional opinion.

    Wow! That was kinda fun!

    Yeah, I still have a few that I made myself on the computer. I can go thru a bunch at shows, just leaving them lay out for interested people to pick up. The ones I can make on the computer tho, aren't nearly as professional looking, and don't have any pictures of MY rabbits. They've all got the...

    Our :Lucky Boy: - new arrival!

    If ya don't feed 'em, it makes 'em skinny! That's the long and short of it. Too many people keep too many animals in too small of an area. Grazers must have sufficient area to graze, or they eat it down to the dirt and it cannot regrow as fast as they can eat it. It is possible to feed, or...

    Small victories

    Another good day in the rabbitry! I purchased the sister to my Giant Chinchilla pair, got my sister to purchase the other brother, and a friend to purchase the remaining sister. Basically, between us, we bought most of the litter - 2 bucks and 3 does. But, at least now, we have 5 rabbits and 3...

    Wow! That was kinda fun!

    I just spent the last hour or so on the vistaprint.com website designing my new business cards. I got to design them myself (they offer formats). I picked the one I liked the best and made it myself. I was able to add 3 personalized pictures of the bunnies, change colors, decide which fonts and...

    Small victories

    So since I posted my long, rambling, whiny, things aren't going my way thread, I thought I would post a couple of the good things happening around the barn since. A first time doe had a revelation and actually put the kits in the box. I could see where she had begun making the nest on the wire...

    Wanted and For Sale

    Thanks Ottersatin, I don't think a hanging scale is what I'm leaning towards, and can't see myself EVER getting to New York. To be honest I've never even been east of Springfield Missouri. West, all the way to the coast and north to Canada, but never east. I wish you good luck in selling them...

    death by color?

    The four remaining bunnies are doing fine. They will be 8 weeks old soon. All 4 greet me at the front of the cage and love to climb onto my arms and lick my hands and nose. Such sweet little things. One is going to be the star in a magic show this upcoming weekend. Gramma is a professional...

    Remodeling grow-out cages.

    Please forgive me because I'm a hands on type and don't visualize well. I'm not trying to be annoying, I just have a hard time picturing things. So, on the side, every 3rd square is a welded square, and the wires in between just go up the right height and stop? They aren't attached to anything...

    Remodeling grow-out cages.

    On the side of the cage where the slant is cut, I see some of the corners are square. I'm cool with that - no sharp edges. But some of the wires look like they just go up and stop. Did you bend over the wires to hold the slant top on? Are they welded? Do they just go up and stop where the...

    Beautiful babies. Looks like the show string is showing a lot of early promise!

    death by color?

    Yes, I guess lethal alleles is more of what I was leaning towards. Not necessarily the bkn blue color itself, but the allowance of deficient genes which show themselves in this specific cross causing this specific color. Obviously, the cross itself isn't lethal, as there are still 4 very...

    white/blue patches in iris, not sure if it's genetic.

    Normal Vienna eyes. They come in all sorts of pattern variations.

    How did you start your breeding stock?

    I decided that the best rabbits don't cost any more to feed than the worst rabbits, and started searching for the best breeders. I was able to come up with 2 that had rabbits for sale, and transport to a show I could attend. It took months of planning and waiting, but in the end, I was able to...

    How many ways to die?

    Oklahoma - winter weather is a roller coaster. 70 degrees today. High Monday will be 25. Last weekend it did the same thing - 65 over the weekend, the front came in and dropped it to the coldest temps we've had in 12 years, overnight. Woke up to 5 degrees with a -12 wind chill. Concerned for my...
