thank you all who commented. Jani: I'm not sure what you mean by "ARBA standard" because i went to the site and didnt find anything other than what would constitute "standard" for each breed for judging/exhibiting. If you have a link, that would be of a great help eco2pia: I would also like...

I have wanted to add a second breeding pair to my rabbitry, but am not confident with linebreeding so my question is where in the process would you get another breeding pair, assuming that I use this flowchart attached? I'm thinking from D & F or J & H because with both pair, you are getting...

Agreed, but there's a time and place for everything...

Here's the problem, you apparently agree with the content of this tattoo video, which is the topic of the thread So why would you bash his other material? If you were not successful with his information, why would you interject your opinion about your failures to this topic, which is about...

Bobby does a good job describing each, but at the end of the day it will be a personal preference. I recently got the clamp style at Jeffers on sale

i"ve resolved to the fact that winter is brutal for watering. i use these and no longer have flipped or chewed bowls I'm still on the hunt for a outdoor watering system that wont freeze the lines or nipples here in northern Ohio

feed is consistent, no treats and dispenser is filled daily teeth checked after first starvation

they have the J type feeders with mesh bottoms to let the fines fall out

I've now experienced a new behavior that i cant make any sense of. I've recently lost 2 due to what I can only guess is starvation. It started a while ago, I started to see alot of the feed on the drop board and I thought it was just an aggressive feeding frenzy. One day a new doe died and when...

Any chance she's rubbing the fur off when trying to get that last morsel at the bottom of the feeder? One of mine had the same pattern, even the bald spot by only 1 eye.

final note: Monday morning there were 7 healthy pieces of popcorn snug in a mound of fur I guess the 3rd time is the charm thanks for the feedback everyone!

just a little update she's pulling like a champ tonight. its kinda wierd, she pulled a bit last night and i thought we're on the way...no kits this morning day 31 well, about dusk she was pulling like there was an arctic blizzard coming. we'll see what happens in the morning thanks to all for...

suggestions please' I've got a doe that is not pulling fur for her nest. she was an unsuccessful mother first round, all kits on the wire. it really upset me so i did not breed for a long time recently she was bred and had what I think were 3 or 4 kits. one on the wire and 2-3 buried in the nest...

+1 as Markshere2 and Jamielrh said grinder cuts like butter and no sharp ends to snag. after chasing my doe around the cage for 2 minutes, my forearm looked like i was a cutter. took out the grinder and smoothed all the sharp edges. J clips are the bomb, after yu get the hang of them and as far...

I'd like to hear from the group that have experienced this. Ive lost a few rabbits and the vet was not able to figure it out Ive got a breeding trio of Champagne de Argent, 2 does and a buck. First breeding of each doe yielded a litter of 3 and 4. The 4 were healthy for about 4 months then they...

i use these for 1 season and worked great...however rabbits chew and they are plastic therefor didn't last Ive tried several methods for the "systems", the reservoir stays fluid but the water freezes at the nipple making it useless. Ive resigned the fact that I'll have to do manual watering...

not sure where to post this for the maximum gratuity but, thanks to all that have posted here on the forum. I have been what you might call a lurker. I don't post much, I just glean from everyone. I have successfully bred 3 out of 4 does, and 2 successful litters this last weekend. I feel that...

thought i'd try a little click bait... either way, i'm looking to plan my breeding schedule and track my results. I have watched a few (hours of) youtubes and thought about a spreadsheet vs a calendar. The calendar looked way to busy with all the things I wanted to consider so I have started to...

To those who weigh their buns weekly, do you have an expected goal for weeks 5-10? is there such an expectation? here I go, overthinking things again...

Thanks to all for the survey participation and especially those who gave brief insight to their vote. I was hoping to get more that 15 votes, but it appears that there is a definite trend with this management style Keep voting and i'll start another question as I keep reading your posts Thank...
