It CAN be done at home. I read all over the internet that the dog had to be taken to the vet or it would die for sure ect. I disagree. My past week has been filled with saving my 5 month old pup. Her sister came down with a new parvo strain. They play together all of the time, when we learned...

Found a dead kit with my doe today. She didn't have it in the nest box, and has yet to pull fur. She is a 10lb doe, and her last litter was 6. Should I expect more kits? The one I found looked rather ling and smooshed. She didn't bother to clean it. I checked her nest box, which she hasn't...

I have two does due on saterday. Yesterday I gave them the nest boxes. This am oneof the does had pooped and peed in hers. I removed it, and all of the hay and washed it. But now I don't want to put it back. Because I am gonna be pissed if I have to keep cleaning it out and wasting hay, as it's...

And one I am sure has been asked a million times. So I am very sorry. How do you check a doe to see if she is bred if you don't know how to palpate? I have herd throwing them back in with a buck in 2 weeks. Or running your hand up her back, and she will lift. Well I am not sure they arenlifting...

So this is my little spinoff three. In my what do you breed thread we went over what breeds we have, and almost everyone had a 'backyard' project, besides their purebred show animals. So lets go a little more into detail. Long posts and even photos. This thread is for fun and education...

Got my dutch doe today! I called the girl I got my buck from, and she had a black doe. She will be 1 next month. :mbounce: I plan on using her with my buck, for purebred pets to sell to offset the cost of feed for my meat rabbits a little. Also should they have Harley kits I can use them in my...

Just went out to check mommas bun. And I have popples! I am not sure she is done yet, so I left her be. I will check again later and do head count. Check for health ect. I'm just so excited! __________ Mon Aug 12, 2013 12:36 am __________ 6 healthy looking kits. Momma was happy for the carrot...

I know there are likely 100's of these topics, but being pretty new here I wanted to know what everyone bred and why, feel free to brag about the things YOU like and have found with the breed. If you own breed mutts, please join as well, as I know I do. I have just started my rabbitry, and I...

I would say that Freckles is well on her way to being a momma. She is due on sun. And today she seems quite warm. It's in the mid 80. Everybunny else is relaxed and eating or checking things out. She seems quite hot still, and is panting pretty hard. She has consumed twice the water as normal...

The past week during feeding Freckles (now miss freak) is a nut. She sticks her nose in the bowl before it's put down ect. My concern is how she is acting. This doe once out nudge your hand like a dog to be pet, now sits in a corner and grunts and flinched when touched. She is due to kindle in 5...

As I het into my meat animals, I wonder if their is a meat breed that has Vienna genes. I really like this gene, and would like to have it in my meat line. The only meat type I can seem to find online are rex. And I can't for the life of me find a standard rex around here, let alone a...

I have been attempting to find something to go through and do some deep cleaning on some of the Hutches and cages. When I looked around on here about cleaning, everyone seems to agree. Bleach. Well here is my predicament...I am highly allergic :oops: Not to go in great detail, but it makes me...

Was able to finish my herd yesterday. Traded a small pet doe for a 6 week old cali buck. I am very pleased with his disposition, and I named him Sonic. I plan to get better photos today. The sun was in the wrong spot.

Say perhaps a cali buck to a dutch doe? I am considering getting a dutch doe to complement my dutch buck. One of the local stores is looking for a small breed that sells well, and I enjoyed raising the couple pet litters I did.. So if I were to get a dutch doe, I wouldn't want only pet...

Yesterday, I noticed my doe with a pretty wet nose. She was breathing hard, and it was hot part of the day. This doe is known to play in water dish. I gave hee fresh water, a frozen bottle, when I did night check she was dry, relaxed and ready for her dinner greens. Today, not as hot, but I saw...

I am a craigslist addict.... My cousins have some property, and are attempting chickens. I have moved my growers up to their property, and they said they wanted some chickens. So in trade for helping with growers I said if I could find a couple I would get them. They also would give me eggs when...

Since I decided to get more into meat rabbits rather than pets. I decided to call an old friend of the family, who raises meat rabbits. Last time I was at their place I saw their rabbits and I was impressed, having Eaton several they brought to bbq and football games over the years. I was...

I just went and picked up a nz cross doe. I had been looking for a meat type doe, but could only find 5 to 6 week old..so while looking at craigslist I saw an add. Went yesterday and the bunnie was a boy :(. The lady then text me last night that she caught this one, and she thought she was a...

I have been doing some research, or trying to. When you search for some things you get a bunch of rabbit rescue stuff...anyhow When growing out your meat rabbits, what do you feed them? Do you feed free choice? Do you do anything special to make meat more flavored/tender/ect. I was thinking the...

Up until today all of my rabbits had elm wood to chew on, from a tree my dad cut last summer. Well they used them som...bit only when they needed to. So today I replaced all the elm with maple from our front yard. I cut it this spring and had spaced it..... They LOVE it. Every rabbit came over...
