Have any of you guys ever tried feeding bread to rabbits? I googled it and couldnt find any definitive answer as to how they may do on a diet of bread + some pellets. I can buy a truck full of bread for around 20 dollars (expired stuff) and I have been feeding it to my chickens. I also have been...

With all the recent Quail talk I thought I would offer these here and see if anyone is interested. I hatched 26 Jumbo Coturnix quail today and more eggs are moving in the incubator. I only want to keep about a dozen of these little guys so I will offer the rest to RT members free. I am located...

Now that Bunny Vac has been out for awhile has any new information on it surfaced? Also does anyone know if it comes in individual sized vials or one big vial that contains multiple doses? Also does anyone know how long it will keep?

Hi everyone, I have always loved the traditional dutch markings associated with the breed but I was always turned off by the breeds small size. My question is what would be the best way to get dutch markings on a NZW sized rabbit that would be similar in production to NZW? From the limited...

Hi guys, I need to add some new breeding stock and really want rex but am wondering what the growout time and feed/weight conversion will be like compared to NZW or Calis. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I could really use some help on a bunny that I have that is sneezing. I bought this rabbit at 8 weeks old from a reputable breeder. I brought her home and put her in Quarantine, Over the course of the next couple weeks I heard her sneeze a few times, Her eyes were clean and her...

I have 5 beautiful apple trees that came with the woods when we bought it, These trees produce small bitter tasting apples that the deer and other local wildlife love. I would really like to plant more apple trees but they are pretty expensive to buy started trees and I keep hearing that if I...

I took this picture out the front door this morning since then we have gotten more snow and the wind is howling. Anyone else sick of dealing with this? I am going insane. Yesterday I helped my dad load up and ship 17 600 pound steers and heifers and if the pasture doesnt come in soon bred cows...

Hi, I am looking for French or German angoras or French/German hybrids and or Rex (full sized) in central MN. I would like any colored French angora that is of good quality and would prefer a pedigree. Looking for a pair or trio but will pick up one here and there if I have to. For Rex I...

Just wondering if anyone on here is licensed by USDA to sell to pet stores? If so was the process fairly simple and are the inspections no big deal or is the whole thing just a huge hassle? Thanks

I built a couple cages and on two of the sides I put the 1"x2" wire vertically instead of horizontally. I am assuming you want the wire horizontally so small rabbits cant get there heads stuck in them but is there any problem keeping older larger rabbits in a vertical wire cage? I seem to be...

Another thread got me thinking about this and I didnt want to side rail that thread but wanted to talk about this as ive heard of atleast a few people on this site being inspected by various organizations. Why would anyone allow a organization like HSUS or ASPCA etc to do a inspection on their...

Just wondering what the price of Germans Angoras are in other states. In MN they start at 150 for pet/wooler and go op to around 250 for "breeder quality". So anyone know how much they are in other places around the country? I really want a couple but am scared of paying 300+ dollars for 2...

I am curious as to how you all feel about paying for pedigrees. I see alot of advertisement were a pedigree is 5 dollars extra which seems fair to me as the seller has to buy/print the form or pay for a website subscription as well as go through the trouble of filling it out. But how about the...

This has been bothering me for quite some time. Why is there no real market for rabbit pelts? The world wide demand for fur is high especially short fur but yet rabbit pelts are being consistently thrown in the trash. Muskrat pelts are superior to rabbit pelts but are selling for 12+ dollars...

Hi, I posted on here earlier and was very thankful for the information provided me, If you didnt catch my first thread it was about wanting Angoras that would need minimum grooming. I have been mostly unsuccessful in locating any Angoras for sale locally but I recently ran across this add...

Hi, I was not sure what section to put this topic in but since I have meat rabbits and am breeding for meat so I hope it fits in here. I have a trio of Florida Whites that are 2 years old. I bought these rabbits last week and let them get settled in for a week and I decided to breed one of the...

Hi guys, I was hoping to get some Angoras for wool production but I really dont want to groom every day. I would really like to clip the wool off their faces and "private" areas then hopefully not do a whole lot of maintenance until it is time to harvest the wool (much like sheep). So is there a...
