Dear friends, I started raising rabbits again this year - after a break for a few years. I am having the worst time trying to get the rabbits to breed! I never had this issue before. The buck is willing, but the doe is giving the buck the "cold shoulder" every time! I've tried "forced...

This is great advice. I will apparently have to watch a bit closer - though I will admit, the "together time" was very limited and I watched for fighting, but I clearly must have missed some sort of biting by my buck. I appreciate the heads up. I'll watch out a bit closer for this in the future.

Wow! I'm thoroughly impressed with this community. I really appreciate your help. I found some DE at the local farm store (online). I'll pick up some tomorrow. As for the essential oils - my wife already has a decent array of those which she uses for cleaning. I'll mix some with maybe ...

Hello friends, I would sincerely appreciate any help you can give me. I am raising rabbits in all wire cages in an outside backyard canopy/carport. Here's the problem - I've found some ticks on my rabbits. Any suggestions? I'm raising the rabbits to eat - so I'm not really hoping to poison the...

Are there any updates to your tractor? How is it working? Any suggested modifications? Thanks, Misc.
