    My dogs love to clean up the offal after rabbit or chicken harvest. I just feed it raw as they easily digest raw bones but cooked bones can cause doggy problems

    Problem with Kit Size

    I'm still new to this. My does are Silver Fox x New Zealand. The tan one neglected her 1st litter to death but seems to be doing great with 2nd litter. My black doe lost her 1st litter because I wasn't ready, but all 7 were large. Her 2nd litter was only 3, all born dead but very large...

    Timothy and clover mix hay

    After being exposed to orchard grass for a few days mine are getting to like it. They all like to nest in it and root around just for fun I think

    Hay - Where to Buy It?

    I have been feeding timothy hay from tractor supply. That was expensive so I bought locally baled orchard grass. 1 doe attacked it, none ate with gusto. Should they get used to it over time?

    Side Entry Nest Box

    Thank you so much! You put shelves inside the birting box as kits grow? Those are much larger than I thought necessary, but I'd like to give them all more space anyway, joining cages and adding new ones. I'm wondering now if I lost my 1st litter because kindling box was too small for momma.

    Side Entry Nest Box

    I need to build kindling boxes and I was recently advised to provide all of them with hide boxes. Trouble is dimensions given would make boxes that covered 1/2 the cage floor. My does are about 18" long stretched out and relaxing. The buck is older and larger. So how large do kindling and...

    Struggling With Heavy Losses

    They were all dead this morning. I'll give her 1 more chance in 6 weeks to breed. If that doesn't work I got an American Blue doe to replace her. It's easy to get caught up in this. I like rare breeds of livestock and I believe I'll wind up with purebred Silver Fox ad American Blue

    Struggling With Heavy Losses

    I am in the process of losing a litter, momma isn't very interested in kits. They are in cages in an 8 x 20 shed, lots of open windows covered in hardware cloth. No predator can get in but lots of predators live here. Would predators prowling around the shed cause bunny distress?
