    flystrike/open wound - help?!

    I check him every day or two because he has a chronic dirty butt, but they hit him anyway. This morning I caught him making a funny face, checked, and YIKES. I've cleaned out as much as I can, but there's still some super tiny maggots in there. I rinsed it a couple times with peroxide and salt...

    3y/o first timer - Success!

    She had me so worried! Silly me thought if I didn't name her, I wouldn't get attached. But then she missed the first bus to camp, and the second, and the one after that...I hung onto her so long that having no name became her name in a way, so for 3 whole years she's been purely for petting...

    What is this & can buns eat it?

    yep...another of those "can my rabbit eat this?" threads I promise I'd google it myself if I had any idea what they were, but I'm not very versed in veggie varieties. :oops:

    Another "it finally happened" bun

    I've been joking for a long time with my sister, telling her to "Bring me a bunny" every time she comes over. She finally did it. Meet Clunker, my very first Flemish. :P I've had him about 3 weeks now.

    Crazy leg...

    Was watching rabbit posing videos for the heck of it and the impression I got was only one foot has to be below the knee, the one on the opposite side of you, that's the crazy leg. Crazy leg can do whatever crazy leg wants. :lol:

    that thing does do

    And here, a New Zealand White preforms a disappearing act. Signature added so maybe if someone tries to steel it again, at least that'll be there... :/ I was reminded about RT, and figured I might as well share this doodle here. :lol:

    Is this plantain?

    Because that would be pretty cool if it is... :lol: Talking about the big round glossy leaves; it has stalks of seed-things. I've been looking for it for years, since I first got meat buns and started trying to forage for them, but all I've been able to find in my woods is narrow-leaf plantain...

    RIP computer, overbaked buns, and other tidbits

    My computer went through a lengthy and depressing dying process, and the constant fear of it crashing and never turning back on scared me into an unproductive blob-like state of anxiety. Between crashes, I managed to get most of my stuff moved to an external hard drive, and eventually on to...

    mini meat & growth rate...

    My chocolate fox is a chunky little oops mutt! Was not intended for meat, but so far she and her litter mates have shown the best growth of any litters from current bloodlines I happen to have on record...also noticeably meatier bodies too. ;) Only 2.5lb at 8 weeks, but her parents were 5lb...

    The fodder fairy...

    I got bit again this year. :oops: The difference this year, is I have a little more incentive to get this right because I'm having some major feed problems, and the last straw was pulled. :evil: Fodder is feeling like a last resort lately, and it's coming along well enough that I have hope...

    Wire shelving cage...

    Saw shelving a few months back, and thought "wow, bet that would make a cool cage!" The instant I mentioned rabbits, my dad drug me away, of course... :lol: Last night, I found someone who did it! And it works! AND THEY MADE VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS! It looks so simple...

    Coffee can = hay feeder

    Yeah, I'm not sure why it took me so long to realize I can just use a coffee can to feed hay in. :P I already use them for water. Sure they take up some floor space, but I think they're worth the sacrifice. Way less waste than trying to let them pull it through wire, or a wire rack, or leaving...

    I've joined the dark side...

    Well, kinda. I mean, I've always been prone to black rabbits. I probably had more blacks than anything else, and even had a black stray find me back in autumn. I was adamant my first bunny almost 8 years ago be black...wow time flies. And ever since, I've practically been overrun with black...

    Mini Rex for meat?

    Thought I'd stick my nose in here, where it's not so overwhelming... Curious for any thoughts on or experience with small breeds for meat? Are they really as chunky as they look/feel? Do their feed:meat and dressouts usually compare decent to their larger counterparts? I'm really disheartened...

    "Murphy's law?" [Update: KITS!]

    Is that what you'd call this? 'Cause this ain't exactly what I wanted. D: Because there's a chainsaw running less than 6 feet from their cages, I brought in a handfull of of the nearest rabbits ASAP. One went in a house cage but the other two were tossed on my bed for the time being. The mini...

    Champagne X Angora cross was a flop...

    "Let's see what argent looks like on an angora!" I said to myself 2 years ago. The result is not great....He's not even all that heavily silvered. He was absolutely a woolly baby, but since he shed into his big boy coat, he's just been...I don't know, but I wouldn’t call it woolly. :lol: He's...

    SURPRISE! I drew more bunnies

    I don't have much real-life bun news to share, so sharing some recent :bunnyhop: art instead. Mostly for the game Lucky Lapine (http://www.luckylapine.com/), and a Watership Down fanart because everyone has to draw the Black Rabbit of Inlé at least once. :P Tan and Tronder (AKA: Norwegian...

    My polydactyl rabbit...

    This is Fiver. She's polydactyl - having a single extra toe! Her mother was a Champagne d'Argent, father is a French Angora. So much for inbreeding being the source of deformities, huh? :P Believe it or not, she's not named after the Watership Down character. She’s actually named after Ford...

    Let's get cliche! [photography attempt]

    I recently learned some of the really cool photos I've envied in the past have been edited. I knew I could edit, but refrained because it feels like cheating. But then the truth was revealed to me and now there's nothing holding me back. :twisted: So I tried adding some cliche blur and tint to...

    The tiniest runt!

    Look how tiny!! I've had 1oz buns born before, but they had either died or caught up. I'm thinking now this might very well be the runtiest runt I've ever had. :P Admittedly, the little guy did need help nursing, but he's still chugging along!
