When I checked his testicles both were withdrawn into the groin and had a withered look. Based on what I read in Bob Bennett's book that is a sign he may be sterile. In the past they have been full. Plus in the past few months I have had very few successful breedings and I am wondering if the...

Help- Yesterday I was planning on using Bugzy for a breeding and prior to bringing the doe to him I checked him and he appears to have dried up. He is just about 1 1/2 yrs old and been a proven breeder in the past. The weather has been warmer than usual. Could temps in the mid 70's cause him...

It has been very windy here lately. She is one of the rabbits located outside. To be sage I brought her into my isolation area and she seems to be just fine. Like I said before she is eating well and currently I have only seen her with the watery eye once. I guess at this point I just plan on...

Yesterday morning this doe had a really watery eye, later in the day it was dry and is still dry this morning. Worried this could be the start of snuffles. I seperated her from the others, she is eating fine and acting ok, should I start antibiotics? If so how much? Thanks for your help I...

Congrats!! Maybe she will mellow now that she has had buns

Yesterday discovered doe had watery eye, seperated her from others. Today eye is dry no discharge-possibly snuffles?

They are early this year in Wisconsin, it is amazing that some people are charging up to $40 per pound. They are good, just not that good!

So now I may have found some blues, but the problem is how do I get them for the west coast to Wisconsin, anyone have any ideas? I don't think I can talk my hubby into a road trip.

We use our homers for training our bird dogs to hold steady on point. For the pups we place the pigeon in a bird lancher and hide both in tall grass. Then take the pup out to practice hunting. The pup will start running through the field searching for the scent of birds and when the pup starts...

I am considering adding this color to my stock, does anyone know a breeder in the SW area of Wisconsin? :?:

The vet did surgery on her to lance it but within a few weeks it returned plus she got snuffles. I assume the stress of everything caused the weakness in her system and made her sick.

Well I can say from past experience that I had Amelia the Flying Nun! Unfortunately for her efforts she gave herself a bloody nose and an abcess that would never go away. In the end I had to cull her.

I just had to put down a buck last month that had developed a huge tumor on it's neck. I sure hope that I don't have more issues in the future. I sanitized the entire cage and dishes before using it again. The mass was rock hard but after culling him I did find it to contain white thick puss.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I hadn't even given a thought about putting wire down on the ground to prevent digging. Currently I am just giving mine a handful of greens each day in their pens. Still not sure which method is better since I have a homegrown predator from our "dog kennel"...

Looking for ideas on how to create pasture area for my buns. Does anyone have examples of yours that you could post or explain what your setup is like. Thanks for your help

Maggie, I wanted to confirm that it should be safe to feed each of my rabbits a small handful of grass and dandelion weeds each day-correct? I cannot believe that I need to mow the yard in March already, I do not ever remember having to do this in the past. You mentioned trouble with rats, I...

Some of you may remember how she jumped out of her cage, received a bloody nose and an abscess on her nose. Well I was asking my vet some questions about it and he said to stop by with her and he would look at it. He did confirm that is what it was and offered to lance it. Since he wanted to...

I have a couple of CA does who will be 6 months in April, is that too early to try and breed them? What do others do? :?:

Her breathing and eyes are ok, I need to check her temp but have a dumb ?, what is the normal range for rabbits? What do you mean by willowing it?
