Sorry the hear that Tea Time. It's hard to loose one you've worked so hard on. :encourage:

The only thing I use anymore is Terramycin. It's a cream you pit a dab on your finger twice a day and put it in the corner of their eye. It seems to last/work/stay longer for me.. Just my worth.

I had them bad in the shop (were I keep the rabbits) this fall. You would see and gear them everywhere. Floor, walls, ceiling etc. I tried Tomcat bait blocks and it was worthless. They wouldn't even try a bite...more research... Picked up a few packets of what I grew up calling "Magic Milo"...

You should see mine after 50 years of "cute". That and the drawers full of ruined T-shirts. :P Sometimes they just don't want to be messed with. :twisted:

The old trick of "use the fat ones for book ends" huh? :laugh2: And how many did it take you to get that little guy to wear the hat Jennifer? :lol: Thanks for the photos guys!

She said they have been really busy lately and haven't been able to stop by so thought I'd update her thread and let you all know. Just glad they are getting a handle on things and he's better. :clap2:

Had an email from LFB and she says Olaf is making an amazing recovery. :D On his 3rd day of treatment today. (oral)

Good deal Harelady! Glad to hear Lucky's luck .is holding. I mean, 1. you found him and 2. he's better. ;) I just want to see a picture after the bad haircut grows out. :P :cheesysmile:

I use Ivermectin on my REW Flemish Giants with no ill side effects. .08cc per pound of rabbit for 3 days then give them a break and repeat one time in 11 days. Put the syringe in the corner of their mouth (with NO needle) and squirt it in. Not to fast so the don't inhale it and aspirate on it...

Spinach is another one that comes back fast when cut but usually will bolt out when the temps of summer arrive. Kale and parsley are other ones that return pretty fast. If you don't like cilantro, (nor do I), it just means more for the bunnies. :P

Plant a ton of cilantro for them. You can start early and grow late in the year. The stuff is impervious to cold. (good to about 15 degrees) Rabbits love it and bugs don't bother it. To harvest just cut with a sharp knife about 1" above the ground and it regrows. :) Radish tops are good to but...

Wonderful picture Harelady! Be sure and let us know how he does with the eye issue.

Do it till it hurts! :P I do like Random's idea of someone else cleaning up. ;)

Hi Sage! I was doing some research on this a few years ago and underground is possibly your answer. I never tried it but it makes sense if you have the room. http://www.raising-rabbits.com/support-files/rabbitbreedingsystemforhotclimate.pdf A lot of good ideas here but think it would depend on...

Sounds to me like you have a good handle on it. Good luck!

You and me both PSF. I really didn't want to do it for her but you know how it is sometimes. Especially with first timers. ;) Nothing to it Loopy. It only takes two you know. :lol: -- Sun Nov 12, 2017 1:52 pm -- And here's one at 4 days old. :D <br /><br /> -- Sun Nov 19, 2017 9:33...

:yeahthat: Mine are usually in and out about 3 weeks old too. At 4 weeks they're like little piranha hunting their next meal as mom is slowing down feeding them. :lol:

You're right. Sorry. :oops: I thought you were talking about this;

I generally slow down on greens before birth and start feeding "old fashioned oatmeal" to my expecting mothers. Seems to help hold down on the mess a little and help with milk production. After they have their kits, a week or so, I slowly start the greens again for mamma + oatmeal. edit: can'...

It's the rabbit's gallbladder. Trim it out and enjoy. If it has already leaked it's gal you might find it rather strong tasting though. :x
