Dutchess My advice to you is follow your heart! If you think vet care is a passion for you.. do it! (It will only be an asset if you are on a small farm as an adult...) Also, there could be a lot of ways to combine your writing with a vet care business.... Be aware that there may come a time...

My Beautiful show doe Kiki finally kindled a really nice litter of 6 kits. She was starting to get overweight, so I was really concerned she would never have kits. She was a bit off day 1.... but I understand it, most moms are "off" the day they give birth. She kindled June 25th... yesterday...

I'm Suburban I use my garage and just do what needs doing (dexter style)... my mentor showed me the Whack and bleed method; so that is what I use. I would like to eventually get a hopper popper.... but, right now this works.

I made the decision of getting rid of my meat rabbits to focus on my show breed Magpie Harlequins.... it was a tough choice, but I managed to find a young couple starting out and gave them a deal!! she has given me updates and I feel really good that she has my babies to do meat rabbits with...

You are encouraged to add you general location to your profile as some of your questions might be location specific.... (taking Maggie's job here ..... :lol: :lol: :lol: ) Best of luck with your bunnies! They are very pretty.

So sorry OldEnglish.... :( If it is any help, your stories (those of you suffering) are strong warnings for others, especially beginners that don't quarantine. I know I have taken your stories to heart and have a serious process for quarantine now.

Looks like you have worked out the majority of the kinks TheChad... and you have some nice looking bunnies growing too!

Welcome! Your questions have already been answered.... I just have to add.... get more cages... a lot more cages...lol When your rabbit space is full of cages, you still won't have enough... :lol: Rabbit Math is REAL!

So Sorry for your loss Such a horrible way to loose her. :( From the information provided, it does look like the delayed kits caused the majority of the issues. You can't be with them 24/7 to prevent unnecessary suffering. Peace

I have found that, depending on the TYPE on your REX, you will have smaller than Chinchilla kits... they will grow a little slower, but if your rex line is compact and blocky like some of them... you could get good meat rabbits that are a little smaller. FUR: the rex fur is recessive, but I...

Background: I live in a subdivision I don't like the current industrial food system (specifically the way meat animals are raised) My response is to grow my own and sell excess product. I "rent" (trade chickens for using their land) space at a friend's farm for my chicken tractor and raise...

WELCOME!! I've had does that start nest building and pulling fur at day 14 and I have a doe that waits until she is giving birth to build a nest. Each one is different and inconsistent. I have never had a doe with kits you can see moving... I've seen it in a friend's rex, but my Harlequins...
