Thanks again Maggie Yes it is illegal for me to try and raise these.... and the risk of disease and infection into a healthy domestic herd is too great I have passed on the WINGS website to her so she can deliver the bunnies to them. I haven't heard back from her, so I am hoping she found a...

That is exactly what I was thinking Maggie!! Their eyes are closed and they look about a week old. Their tummies were full, so they do have a moma bunny around somewhere. She didn't see were her cat got the bunny, so would any were on the property work?? She is so frantic and upset.... I hate...

I LOVE this thread!! It has been several months since my last check-in (re: my rabbitosis) I have developed a new counting method to more accurately calculate my herd.... and according to that count I currently have 21 rabbits... still more than I started with in the garage.. I thought I had...

Hi ALL A friend's cat has found 2 wild baby bunnies!! She has texted me in a panic! I have her looking her yard over for a nest, as I am sure I read that it is best to just put them back and let mama take over........ However, I do have a litter with kits that look the same age..... What are...

Ladysown..... My goal is to get some great typed Magpie Harlequin rabbits!! I have a doe that appears to be producing exactly that... It is a struggle... I try and pick the litter based on clean clear markings and I'll sell a better marked rabbit in exchange for keeping the better typed...

Maggie I wanted to let you know I tried a variation of the plaster/icing sugar because I didn't have any icing sugar (plaster/doe top dressing - boss, calfmana, rolled oats and barley) They ate some of that .... havn't seen any activity since... it was Tuesday that I set that out... and...

Congrats! I drive 15mintues to the barn space I rent .... I totally get the "just doing chores" feeling..... but I cannot have rabbits in my neighbourhood and I love my barn land lady!! She is older and we tend to do chores at the same time so have the friendly companionship while working in the...

Congrats!! I always get excited over new kits..... sometimes I go a little overboard and breed almost everyone in the barn in the same month..... like March :x ... I want everyone to kindle, but at the same time, I don't ;) ..... :lol: :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop:

I just processed 2 rabbits last night Doe born 29 Nov2017- 6lbs live weight - 3lbs dressed Buck born 25Sept2017 - just shy of 7lbs - 3-3/4 lbs dressed not sure if this helps at all

AAWWwwwwww They are just beautiful!!! My step-daughter has had her first litter of Mini Satins All Blacks and Blues.... so small and shiny I think I'm more in love then she is :lovers:

Welcome to Harlequin I also raise Harlequin and find 16-18 weeks is about it for growth... They will get larger after that, but it just takes too much feed to get that extra growth for meat. I love the rabbit and the growth rate has never been an issue for me as I have lots of buyers for pelt...

Congrats!! We expect Photos..... or it didn't happen! :lol:

You are a mentor to a lot of us here.... So sorry to hear things didn't go a well as hoped. Wishing you the best. Prayers, Peace and Blessings Patricia

If you are looking for a guide line: I found this online a while ago.... I'm not doing meat rabbits so much any more (although we do eat our culls) http://florida4h.org/projects/rabbits/MarketRabbits/Home2.html#Act2 Maybe this would help you with setting your "Business" goals for your...

Try Colleen Wagner from Dusti Bunnies She will be headed to the West Coast Classic.... and back ohio way....

When we got rid of the goats... the guy pulled up with a mini van... no crate... He just put the two goats in the back!! :lol: I'm just picturing the cop that pulls him over! lol :lol: I've put 4 people and 5 bales of hay in a Honda CRV and my van will hold 5 people and over 42 rabbits in...

Sounds like poor adjustment... I sold a bred proven Harlequin doe and her litter was very similar to what you described... Her environment with me was in an old horse barn.. very outdoors and normal horse and outdoor sounds. The new owner thought it would be best to move her into the house for...

Thank you! The cages are in the barn... so enclosed outside.... I am assuming the "rat" got into the cage as these kits are only a week old and haven't left the nest box the other two nests have not been bothered.... but the one mama is crazy protective and the other is one cage up, so maybe...

I work in a Financial Office... so "Image" is VERY important!!! Here is my advice... Keep it simple Hair: Do not wash your hair daily. brush out your hair before you wash it to move your natural oils from your scalp to the ends of your hair. Coconut oil ... rub it into the ends of your dry...

:evil: :evil: :evil: I'm furious!! One of my favourite does had a beautiful nest of 8.... 3 show marked! Now I have 5, but they are all missing one leg each!!! I did search the forum, and found Rats or mice could be the issue!! :overreaction: SO my question... How do I get rid of them...
