For the caked on, I generally leave the pan sit full of water for awhile (read a couple of hours) to soften and then scrape with a putty knife. Since it's so cold everywhere right now, that might not be an option, but soaking certainly helps loosen everything up. You don't have to be too...

:congratulations: WOW! Congratulations!

I agree. Polish are usually pretty sweet rabbits. Can't expect her not to defend her kits. Good Mama. May I ask why you leave them for 3 hours? If the reasoning behind not leaving them is so they don't get chilled, 3 hours is more than enough for that to happen. My does only feed for less than...

I wish I could tell you I got plans from "X" or measured it out specifically, or things like that, but I didn't. We had the walls already up and knew they were 6 ft. I didn't want to be very tall, since it had to fit under the trees, but my "scientific" way of measuring was to stand on a ladder...

I wish you luck. I know people have different tolerances for things. I can't even stand to have 1 rabbit in the house. The ammonia from the urine &/or the pan filler drives me insane. That said, I have had up to 9 ferrets at once, and with a room ionizer, have no problems with that. You will...

I have been showing for over 2 years this time, and over 10 years a decade ago. I do not quarantine my show stock, and I have never felt a rabbit "came home with" something picked up at the show. I went to 10 shows last year, all in the OKC, Tulsa, Wichita area, and did not see any rabbits I...

:angry: IT's COLD! The first thing I saw when I pulled up the internet this morning. Your Weather Oklahoma City, OK Current Condition Mostly clear Right Now 10°F Did I ever mention how much I hate COLD! That, and the fact it was 70 before this mess blew in Wed night? Oh, and that we have 4" of...

Just as an in case, if someone is planning on Killeen this weekend - THE SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED due to weather.

It has been my experience that a small bag of guinea pig food mixed with a good amount of rabbit food will not hurt the rabbits at all. I, personally, received a small bag of opened guinea pig food with a cage I purchased off CL. There was about 4 lbs left of a 5 lb bag. I just dumped it into...

Man! Growing up sucks! What I WANTED to do was go to a triple rabbit show this long weekend. What my BRAIN told me I NEEDED to do was work on the barn! The brain won out. Rats! Again, tho, I worked until well after dark, so I will have to get some pics another time. I was able to get the eve...

I would like to find a breeder of the non ARBA recognized argent brun rabbits. I don't believe there are any in Okla, but I will be traveling to many of the surrounding states during 2014 for various rabbit shows. If anyone has any of these, or knows anyone who does, please contact me. Looking...

It has ALWAYS been my experience that mixing feed will invariably cause feed scratchers. Little idiots aren't smart enough to realize all the feed they are scratching out will leave them hungry later on. My "cures" for feed scratchers are try one of these until something works: Stop feeding...

Nice website. I couldn't see the pic of the doe, nor were there any pics of the babies for sale. Pics always help to sell. My own personal opinion is that the redundancy of the babies being born black on each one is unnecessary and wordy. Anyone who knows about silver fox knows they are born...

I wasn't able to attend this time. Had to take my Dane to the vet and it cost me my rabbit show money.....that and the fact that NONE of my senior does will make senior weight. Did get a lot of work done on the barn, and most of those underweight does got bred to my biggest buck! Come on big...

Yes, if she was entered and competed against seniors and won, then the leg would count towards her grand championship. There is no rule about bumping up in class, as long as the weight is appropriate, however, you cannot go backwards. Once you show her as a senior, she cannot be shown in future...

Best of Variety does not necessarily constitute a leg. There must be at least 5 rabbits in the variety, shown by at least 3 different breeders for a leg to be obtained. Yes, to receive a grand championship, at least one of the legs must be won as an intermediate or senior. I don't know if it is...

I am making plans to attend. The barn can wait. I'll be there with my English Lops. Look for AKF RABBITRY on the carriers.

I'm not really sure about the allergy. I don't have it at all (at this point) unless the rats touch me specifically. If I handle them with long sleeved shirts and keep them off my neck and away from my face, I'm OK. I do think their little sharp claws and possibly rat pee may have something to...

I would love to go, but I have an awful lot of stuff I still need to do to work on the barn. It's still up in the air whether I'll be there or not. If I am, it will only be for Sat. and if I do go, I'd sure love to meet up with fellow RT'ers.

I just got a couple of baby rats. I've had some before, but blamed some allergy problems on them I don't believe were actually them. I'm very disappointed tho. The rats are great, very pretty, just your average pet store rat, but they are sneezing, to the point they act uncomfortable. I'm...
