Yesterday I saw this great rabbit video on facebook. I searched for it on youtube but couldn't find it. Then this morning I got an email about it from Rabbit breeders. You can see it here https://www.facebook.com/USARabbitBreeders If anyone knows how to post it on here PLEASE do so. Its...

I had a doe who kindled a couple of weeks before Christmas. She had 14. Two died. That leaves 12. Right so far. One more died, some time after they came out of the nestbox. Then there were 11. Ten days ago I weaned them, weighed them, and moved them to a new pen. There were twelve of...

Mr Weasel

They are Beveran Flemish Giant cross, and seven months old.

They are 24 days old and mama just let them come out for the first time today. Mama is 50% rex, 25% Flemish and 25% Beveren. Papa is pure Flemish

The Chinese just passed a law that will make it a criminal offense, punishable by a prison term, if adult children do not visit their parents. This is going to be a long, potentially boring, personal post, but I need to get it off my chest. It's six years now since my mother died, at the age...

I really should carry a video camera around with me. The little ducklings were exhausted after a hard morning of playing hide and seek with mama, they positioned themselves in a semicircle and fell asleep in the sun. After an equally hard morning of trying to keep up with the children, mama...

I went to feed my rabbits just now and my big Flemish doe, the only really good quality rabbit I've ever had is sick. She was laying on her side, I picked her up and brought her in the house. She has no ambition to do anything, and she's gone all floppy - like a ragdoll. Anyone any ideas what...

Are any Alberta members planning on attending this show? I'm planning on going as a spectator only, but I'll be there for at least part of the day. If you're going to be there I'd love to meet you and your rabbits.

I have noticed that some people seem to be confused about the difference between a purebred animal and a pedigreed animal. I think the confusion lies in the fact that most people don't bother to keep pedigrees for non purebred animals, but there is no reason why a person couldn't if they wanted...

I would very much like to buy one of Mamasheepdog's Blue Beveran bunnies, but all avenues I have explored so far for getting it here have come to dead ends. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get a rabbit from Bakersfield, California to Drumheller, Alberta?

Although I have a scale for weighing my big rabbits, I need to buy one for weighing kits. I was wondering what type of scale other people use.

I think I have finally made a decision about reducing my herdsize. As of today, I have 17 does with litters under 8 weeks. Six litters between 8 and 12 weeks. I doe that failed to kindle and has just been rebred. Two open does who lost their litters due to my carelessness. Four bucks. Four...

Davey's older brother Ed died today. He had open heart surgery about two weeks ago. Davey so wanted to go and see him, but at first they wouldn't allow him any visitors except his wife, then Davey got sick again and we couldn't get there anyway. He must have been getting better, because they...

I have no idea which category to post this in so it's here. I have been trying to send a message to MamaSheepdog (I sent it three times, did you get it?) but it looks to me as though, instead of the message going to its recipient, it is just sitting in the outbox. What am I doing wrong?

At least I hope that's all it is. Every so often if I get rabbit I really like I bring it in the house. I have one right now that is about six weeks old. He is sandy, a colour I rarely get, so I thought I might be able to sell him (or her) as a pet. But this rabbit is different. He refuses...

How do you do it? I see beautifully staged photos of little bunnies of all ages, but when I try and take my own they just won't stop hopping and wriggling. I gave up trying to line them up. At the end of March I bought two does at a sale. No particular breed. I paid $7.50 for the two of...

Over the years I have had lots of odd replies to my rabbit ads, but never anything quite like this one. I had one FG doe that had aborted her litter in mid March and the previous time she was bred she failed to kindle at all. I didn't want to sell her for breeding so I advertised her free to...

I bought some rabbits at a sale, two separate lots, but they were both labelled as New Zealand, well I knew perfectly well they weren't NZ, but they looked in good shape and I like them. One doe and one buck are jet black with broad faces and soft silky fur. They weigh about 8lbs at a guess...

I hope yo9u don't mind me posting here, but this is something I feel only rabbit people would understand. I have posted here in the past, but not for a while. I have bred rabbits for years, mostly breeding my own crosses for meat. I was never particularly interested in having pedigreed stock...
