ARGH! Mosquitos are so bad right now. We live right next a nature area that has a bit of a creek in it, especially now with all the rain and sun, rain and sun we've gotten this spring. My poor buns are getting swarmed. Especially at dusk. Any suggestions on how to combat them?

I'm guessing this has been discussed before but I am curious if I can make this simply and quickly. I want to be able to fertilize my vegetable starts with rabbit compost tea asap. Can I just put some poop in a bucket and add water? How long does it take to brew? What is the water/pellet ratio...

One of my does, Licorice, is on her 3rd kindle since the new year. She is looking thin and her hair is really falling out. I'm not going to breed her again until the heat of the summer has passed. Wondering what I can give her to rejuvenate her to her previous luster? I hate it. Had I known...

My cousin wants one of our rabbits as a pet. This litter will be 6 weeks old on Thursday. Is giving her the bunny Saturday too early? It is eating and drinking very well. Gaining well and has a very sweet personality.

Kind of excited. Made a pot of rabbit chili today. Hope it turns out good. Last time I made tacos and they were excellent.

Well, my two sets of popples are doing well. It's crazy, Licorice has 6 enormous fat babies and 2 runts that are nearly half the size. And Ginger's 8 are about the same size but smaller than Licorice's big fatties. I don't know what that means but I'm happy they are all thriving. So glad I...

We just started buying Albers Rabbit feed. We aren't buying it from the feed store. We actually buy from the locally owned lumber yard in our small town. They have the cheapest feed. Has anyone used it or heard anything about it. I know it contains soy which I'm not happy about. Do most feeds...

Hello. Well, Licorice had 8 instead of 6 this kindle. She has two real tiny runts. Literally, half the size of the other 6. They look unfed. I took the big ones out and brought them in the house. I put her over the skinny 2 and she nursed but they don't look like they were getting milk. Should I...

Wondering what size of a cage is sufficient for growing out buns. I have Licorice's 6 in a cage, they are 8 weeks. If I remember correctly it's 42"x24".

Here are Ginger's popples. I love that orange colored one. Anyone want to tell me what these colors are called? Oh and a picture of Ginger... Ginger by beelion77, on Flickr beelion77, on Flickr Ginger's pile o'popples by beelion77, on Flickr Ginger's pile o'popples by beelion77, on Flickr...

Checked on my bunnies this morning and Ginger had 8 popples! I'm so happy she did it! Then this afternoon I checked on them again and Licorice had just kindled. Licorice had 7, I think. It was getting dark so hard to really see and feel around. I'll pull them in tomorrow and see what we got...

The two free bucks we got about a week ago are going to be harvested today. I need to give the hutch a good cleaning. The book I have says spray all surfaces with Lysol and then using a small torch to heat up the wire to further sanitize. Is Lysol something that can harm the other rabbits in the...

After the rabbits are killed do you slit the neck and hang it? Do you chop off the head? Husband preparing to harvest, not sure the best way to remove head.

My baby bunnies are now 4 1/2 weeks old and I'm wondering if we can ditch the nesting box. It stinks. I've cleaned it a couple times but they poop and pee in it and I'm ready to just ditch it. Also, do most people remove the doe from the cage at 6 weeks?

A friend gave us two old rabbits that she was tired of feeding. She has raised them in the past for 4-H pets and now has an excess of rabbits and doesn't really want to get into the kill. So we have two rabbits we've been fattening up for about a week and a half. My question is are there any...

So I have 2 does and 1 buck. The first time I bred them I put Licorice in Mr. Salty's cage and then immediately put Ginger in after. Then I rebred them 8 hours later. Ginger didn't get pregnant. Licorice did. This most recent time I tried the same thing. I'm thinking now that maybe I should...

This is Ginger. The woman I purchased her from said she was a satin mix. She used to only breed NZ and CA. This is Mr. Salty. Not sure if he's NZ or CA or both. This is Licorice, the new mama. Assuming she is a NZB. Anything you can share about the looks of these rabbits would be...

I'm so confused by the numerous breeds and colors. When reading posts I'm often wondering how to tell the color names of each breeds. It seems as though different breeds have different colorings and then different breeds also have similar colorings to other breeds. Is there is simplified key...

We were at the feed store today and we were talked into purchasing Goat's Prefer Pro-biotic Powder. Has anyone used this product for their buns? I'm not sure how much to give them and if I should put it in the water? Unfortunately, I was waiting in the car when the hubby was grabbing feed and...
