    Wide Mouth vs Regular Mouth ... Jars Of Course, Not Rabbits

    I personally prefer the new rabbit breed wide-mouth bass myself.🤣jk But seriously, it's so much easier to fill wide mouth jars when you "can" just about anything.

    4H Meat Pen Requirements?

    What breed do rabbits have to be to be able to compete in 4H meat pen? Do they have to be purebred or pedigreed? We have some that definately look californian, but no history history on either of them. Just trying to determine if it would be worth our time to pursue them for fair. We already...

    How to sell Holland Lops

    I have been frustrated with not being able to use Facebook as a marketing platform. As far as I know, all I have in my area is craigslist. Does anyone have advice on setting up a rabbitry website? I feel like I could at least put a link to that in Facebook posts without getting flagged and all...

    Red urine or blood?

    Her due date is not for another week and a half. She has had 2 liters before this while in my care and never nested fully until day 27 the first time and didn't nest until the morning of day 30 right before she kindled the second time. Both times she has carried the babies full term. Her first...

    Red urine or blood?

    So If it is normal to bleed before kindling, how much before? My doe bled very briefly 2 days ago and she cleaned herself up immediately after. I just happened to be changing out her litterbox right as it happened. She was carrying straw and cardboard earlier that day, so I thought I might need...

    Fire Ants and Rabbit Tractors

    I suggest adding a ring of ant bait/poison around the outside of the tractor about 6in to a foot away so your rabbits don't touch it. They will take it back to the colony and kill the nest. But be careful if you are trying to move the tractor around. Fireants are almost impossible to irradicate...

    My rabbits didn't like the baled stuff from tractor supply. It didn't seem as fresh as the DuMor that I have been getting there since. Its weird because they are both produced by Tractor Supply. I wonder if they are sourced from different places. They eat that stuff like its nobody's business...

    Hello from Flagstaff, AZ

    I dont like the dead babies, but I also don't mind small litter sizes. This was part of the reason we chose Hollands. I am not looking to supply our area with all the rabbits they can want. We are mostly doing it for personal show rabbits for my daughter for the fair. We are petting out anything...

    Hello from Flagstaff, AZ

    So I am slowly trying to build my herd. I started just with the one buck (clover) and then added the doe (sweet pea). She was proven when I bought her, but I think I may have waited a bit too long before I bred her. It had been a good 6-8 months since her previous litters. I recently acquired a...

    Cage building question

    After spending like a half an hour struggling with the snips on just one cut accross, then we used a hand grinder wheel. Cut through it like butter. Did the rest of the cuts in like 5-10 min without the sore hands.

    Hello from Flagstaff, AZ

    Nibbles Yes, she only had 2 kits the first litter, and 1 died 24 hrs later. But the second litter she had 3 kits, one living and 2 stillborn, then followed up 24 hours later with 2 more stillborn. Not sure why she is having such a high mortality rate, because the lady I got her from said she was...

    Hello from Flagstaff, AZ

    My daughter and I just got into rabbits about a year ago. My daughter is 10 and doing the 4H thing for showing and basic rabbit care. But I have found great interest in the animal husbandry of it all and decided to try and breed some of our own home growns for her to show in the fair this fall...
