At a loss I have one of my breeder does loosing hair with scaly skin on her back legs and tail. Currently treating with Vetericyn Plus not doing a lot of good. Help!!!

Not sure either but it sure make one think. I'm a firm beleiver in the moon phases, can't work in a hospital without beleving :shock: . Sure makes one think. :?:

Love the colors :mbounce:

My does went together in the colony when they were between 8 and 12 months. There was a little hair pulling and chasing they all get along great now. Added a part Flemish to the mix she was about 7 months not a problem at all but she a gentle giant gets along with everyone. Don't know yet how...

Put a walkway down the middle of my colony. Laid 2 x 6 on edge tied together about every 4 feet with a 2X4. planks across the top tied together with another 2X4 on the outside of the 2X6 in about 3 foot section. this lets me raise the deck to get under. Rabbits dig under the walk but with 2X6...

Had that problem with my tractors!! Rabbits chewed right through the chicken wire and under the cage and out :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: then the chase was on. Got all back in replaced the chick wire with 2 X 4 cage wire. When I moved the tractor the little guyes crawed through the...

Not had to much trouble. Although all my doe are related or where raised together. When I introduce a new bun I watch to see if she gets along with the others, if not off to camp she goes. I keep the bucks in a seperate area of the run.

I use small dog waters. They hold a volume of water have the advantage of a crock easy to drink from, also in the Oklahoma heat give the bun a place to cool there ears. Put ice in the jug keep water cool for a little while.

It wasn"t bad I have and inside and outside run contected together. Iside about 12 X 12 counting the bucks inside, Outside is about 12 X 17. Dug down approx 20" to 30" burried sheet tin as a dig barrier. Rabbit are happy :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: lots of room to run and be rabbits. The space is...

Have mine in an open dirt floor run where they can tunnel, and misters in the run. Work good 100+ days haven't lost anyone. It is kinda strange walking out into the run and not seeing any rabbit around :o , all underground.

We save hearts, livers and kidneys. Roll the pelts up and freeze them, going to try my hand at tanning. All te rest we freeze and send out with the nest trash haul.

Good looking run :P Might want to put some chicken wire over the top I had to we have big hawks in our area. They can get a big rabbit with no problem. Do you have anything down to keep them from digging out?? :dig-hole: Great run.

Maybe but my wife would have to come to. But she cook to :lol:

Play it safe keep your rabbitry name to your self. There is nothing worse than developing a good rep just to have it distroyed by a "good frised :twisted:". You can keep your's and her's in the same place but not under the same name.

Just made this last night it is great :D . Hasenpfeffer (Braised Rabbit in Spiced Red Wine Sauce) • 1/2 pound lean bacon, finely chopped • 2 -2 1/2 to 3 pound fryer rabbits, cut into serving pieces • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • 1/2 cup flour • 1/2 cup shallots or onions...

I'm just started looking into fodder as a feed. Thinking barley but having trouble finding it in southern Okla. Looks like it's going to be wheat, lots of it here :lol: . Should sprout in about 3-4 days and grow to feeding size in about 9 days. Let yo know how it goes.

We're all pulling for you. Good luck keep us posted.

Welcome. Can't help with breeds, but NZW are a good meat rabbit and if you get tired of white they do have other colors in NZ's. As far as cages the cheaps way I've found is buy the wire in 50 to 200 foot rolls and get some J clips and build them. There not hard to build and you can make them...

Well I gues it got us to. Spent all weekend and almost got my run finished. Now Mary is making plans for a new grow out tractor and a room to try and grown fodder in. O'Well got to do something on the weekends. :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop:

Sounds good. The only problem with chicken wire is the opening in the wire may allow your young kits get out and not a very strong defence against predators. May want too use 1/2" X 1" on the bottom and 1" x 1" or 1" X 2" on up. I have tin around my colney and sunk down about 2-3 feet in the...
