will do! __________ Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:55 am __________ So I dispatched my very aggressive NZ white buck, soaked him in salt water for 4 hours and kept him in the fridge over night. Made a simple stew with him, turned out great! Wife's first time eating rabbit. She enjoyed it. So is Rabbit...

Thanks guys! Great info!!

I was thinking the same thing frecs, I don't like the idea about corn and soy. There normal feed is alfalfa based with no corn or soy, I guess they add it to get the higher protein %. My mamma's are nursing good and my kits are putting on weight well. Just saw the 25% on the bag and was like...

this is a 50 pound bag, not a powder. I don't know if that makes a difference, the calf mana is a normal feed pellet. here is the breakdown of it Ingredients: Soybean meal, corn, hominy feed, feeding oatmeal, dried whey, dehydrated alfalfa meal, linseed meal, brewer’s dried yeast, vegetable...

so I am using Mana products. ManaPro for my bucks and Does between litters. ManaPro Grow for my mamma's with kits and the Grow for the kits My question is calf mana is 25% protein, could I use that all the way till 8 weeks with the kits? the Grow is only 18 or 19% protein. again my goal...

when can i pull the nesting box?

To be honest I don't know :shock: , I know my NZ white was a bit of an ass in the smaller cages I have, once he got into the larger cage he has cooled down. I will measure the cages when I get home. I would like to get a few more of the larger ones or convert some of the smaller ones to be...

hey mamma, all were born on the wire of the cages, and some on the floor. 3 or the 4 smaller kits were with the bad butt mamma, so they didn't revive as much milk from there mamma. Now they are getting full bellies and enjoying life after being fostered to the good mamma. Saturday will be 2...

Thanks Flemishstar!

Well I dispatched the bad mamma. Cleaned the bunny cages and redid the layout. The fostered kits took to the mamma, or should i say the mamma took to the kits. :) The Aggressive male is enjoying his new larger home. I am uploading pic right now. should take a few min's!<br /><br />__________ Mon...

ok, ok,ok......gosh what a curve. i will try giving her some bread. :up: I am at a point now with her she might get dispatched 2night. :angry: She stomped 2 kits overnight. The 4 remaining had been left with no fur covering them. They are also smaller then the other group. I took them inside...
