The title says it all really. lol I bought a dryer to do double duty for drying clothes and breaking hides but, because I wasn't paying enough attention when I bought it, I didn't realize it didn't have a heatless drying cycle. So its lowest setting is between 125 f to 145 f. When does a hide...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/kLpEmjGGFsrPpC5JA A castor buck and a chinchilla doe (rex) produced a red, a buff, a blue otter, a lavender otter, a black otter, and two of this unknown colour. Any ideas what its called? Other than pretty that is.

Any ideas on how to stop the blasted digging in the food bowls? On wire the food is being wasted at a staggering rate.

Is it just me or is the forum totally different? With adds? And what happened to the best smilies on any forum anywhere?

One of my litters - about 4 weeks old - started with bald patches on a few heads but now has spread to one of them having most of the fur gone on its sides as well and more being bald. I suspect they are either sucking on each other or the mum is doing extra grooming but I am not sure, it's a...

Having a hard time finding good hay but have a ton of medium/fine wood shavings, kiln-dried. Can I use just those in the nest box and if so, how deep?

I know that Bluekote will dye a white hide purple - then the rabbit sadly became a hide - and, 9 years on, it's still the same color :lol: so I know it can be done. But any internet search I do is just confusing so thought I would ask here instead. Sharpy marker does NOT work - internet...

About to start trying the new Rex trio, the buck is castor, both does are chinchilla. With no history of them at all, what should I expect, color wise, from them?

Being able to buy very cheap root veg, mainly carrot, and swede means not only are we eating lots of them - mmmmmmm love them mashed together with loads of butter - but that the rabbits are having loads as well. So I started wondering, as I dump huge piles of peelings and chunks into each cage...

Needed a black hide for a project so opened my suitcase that holds my 200+ dried hides.... MOTHS aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh there were MOTHS in my hides!!! :evil: Thankfully not too many hides damaged but how does one keep moths out of furs and hides, please? I did have them stored in cedar...

My one surviving doe from last springs disaster is 11 months old and has lived with a buck all her life. As she is a Netherland/lop/lionhead cross I gave up on her last week, dispatched the buck she was in with, put her other brother in the freezer at the same time, and put her sire in with her...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/cKrMVQE8zNug26sL7 The buck and one of the two does, Rex, that I went properly mental and purchased from a breeder last week. Only saw pictures and had to pay for delivery but when a bad attack of rabbitaquirensis hits, one will do ANYTHING to get one's hit (breed) of...

Oh, the dreaded words! Which simply describes the technique of layering fresh wool onto felt and then either wet or needle felting it on/into the already felted layer. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1sn9NynCUhTTZ5748 https://photos.app.goo.gl/qHnYP1B4e2syohmn9...

I had a fantastic idea for a handheld dispatcher which my youngest son and I are going to make (once we get the equipment for melting down and sand-casting recycled aluminum) but I started wondering how much of a market there is for something new for killing rabbits/poultry? Have looked online...

What color is she really? https://photos.app.goo.gl/5q1fGHbYRWmtEDAi9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/X4kZdYMwHedP1k1XA With lockdown and winter driving conditions and distance and the difficulty of even finding any, I bought a trio of Rex based upon talking to the breeder and three pictures and...

Just bought a 6ft by 8ft metal shed and am setting it up in the courtyard this week. The ground consists of hardpan with a deep gravel covering which should be hard for the VERY evident rat population to dig through and into the shed. Once it is all set up I will have a 6 ft by 4 ft by 2ft...

Living now where veg are affordable we get to eat lots of it and have heaps of peelings left over so my four buns have only had pellets about once a week, if even. The rabbits get all of it, veg, fruit, potatoes, the lot. My cages are large enough for them to get lots of exercise and they...

It is listed as a plant to use in the flower bed as wild rabbits don't like it but that doesn't answer the question of whether or not rabbits can actually eat it safely or not. Does anyone know? It grows rampantly here and is beautiful so it would be nice if it could be fed as well.

Caught a beautiful, young, healthy rooster in a parking lot near us and while he was fantastic with the hens, he was pure mental with me. Attacking - no spurs yet, thank goodness - and just not stopping. In fighting him off I must have hit every wall, the roof, bounced him off the floor, you...

Lost the first litter to a doe killing them at 4 weeks of age. One bite, through the heads and she then piled them up. Culled her and no signs of anything really wrong, just some hive-like thickened spots on the flesh side of the hide, colored red/purple. Her fur looked rain spotted, fur just...
