I have acquired a trio of standard Rex Castor rabbits. They are 9 weeks old now. I plan to breed for both show and meat/pelts. I may be over thinking this but I want to get them on a good path to show. The first show in our area that they can be shown at is in Sept when they will be about 5...

Hi y'all! Long time, no chat! I made a happy discovery --there is a breeder of Standard Rex rabbits less than 2 hrs from me! She has a trio coming available at the end of the month. These are show quality (and nice and meaty) rabbits. I will be joining the NRRC but I wanted to run this by the...

Thinking of options for the rescue rabbits coming my way... I saw this and not sure if it is flimsy garbage or a real steal of a deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Wooden-Chic ... 0995150268 the reason I'm thinking of the possibility of a colony arrangement with these two rabbits is that they...

So, for the past couple months, I've been noticing these two rabbits that are released-pets living la viva loca in the neighborhood of two of the girls in my youth group. I've thought many times that I'd love to capture them and add them to my rabbitry. Well, I learned tonight that a new...

So, how does one tell the difference between dandruff and mites in an FAngora?

WAPF=Weston A Price Foundation. It seems in recent discussions of other topics, several folks have expressed interest in and knowledge of the WAPF and their teachings. I'm going to be trying again (after Christmas) to adhere to the "Health Recovery" plan outlined in the book "Eat Fat/Lose Fat"...

In the recent SOP pages discussion, I made a statement I need to retract: I said that breed clubs do not provide the breed SOP to members. I stand corrected... In yesterday's mail, I received the long overdue (but well worth the wait) National Silver Fox Rabbit Club Guidebook. It does include...

I have learned that there is a very good reason why barns have resident cats. I don't have a "barn" but I do have animal feed which apparently is an calling card for mice. So, down to the county "Animal Protected Services" shelter to interview potential barn cats. Here is the winning...

It is a beautiful sunny Fall day here in Shallotte, NC. Everyday, at noon, the local Presby. church plays a hymn or two on the church bells. I love to listen to the bells. Well, today...it just so happens that my company had a cherry-picker out front raising the flag pole...and, just as the flag...

Country Mile has a box of 2 week old kits -- 9 of them. Their first week it was cold around here so the box was full of hay and fur. Then, it got back up into the 60's/70's and she ate out the hay so her babies wouldn't be too hot. Last night, we had a windy, cold night. I hadn't expected that...
