    Coops at Convention

    Figured I'd ask my question here first. :) Can anybody tell me if the show coops at the convention will have solid, or wire, floors? If solid, does anybody know about how big they are? I'll be showing Dutch if it makes a difference. Starting to obsess about the details now that I know...

    First time mamas

    First of all, I apologize for no pics, but I ran out of hands! :D Had 2 first timers kindle on Tues. Nest building was a B- , hairpulling A+ so that evened out. Both does had HUGE litters for Dutch ( 7 in one litter & 8 in the other) with all babies in the nest boxes. We showed both of...

    Looking for Tan breeders

    Just what I need is another quirky breed to go with my Dutch, but I saw these at a show recently & now I wants! :slap: I've been looking at the American Tan website but it doesn't want to be user friendly on my iPad. So if anybody knows anybody...?

    Fun at Dutch Nationals

    Took 5 rabbits to Nationals over the weekend. My jr choc doe decided to molt (very spectacularly) so her moment of glory was a 3rd in 'If I Only Had a Coat' and my boy bunnies looked nice & made the top 20 in their classes. And then there were my 2 jr black does... The one I hesitated to...

    Just one of those days!

    Yesterday was one of those days that made me want to give all you gals & guys a big hug for sharing your rabbit knowledge & adventures! We had 3 does kindle over the weekend, 2 proven moms & 1 first-timer. First 48 hours were uneventful...good nests & full tummies. And then Dot (the 1st...

    I am in trouble now!

    First of all, thank you all for sharing your show experiences. It really helped make our first show not only fun, but comfortable! The bunnies did really well. I almost left my blacks at home because their markings are a little ragged and I keep hearing about how tough the competition is in...

    Stinky boy rabbit??

    Ok, maybe I've just been spoiled up until now, but it seems Mr Free Rabbit has a bit of an odor issue. Didn't notice it while he was in QT in the fresh air, but now that he's indoors with the others, he stinks! Is there anything that will fix/mitigate the problem? He is housed between 2...

    Ageing (live) rabbits

    Can it be done, and if so, how? I just got given a super-nice Dutch buck that was terrorizing the neighborhood gardens across town. He's obviously of breeding age, but beyond that...? No tattoo, either. Poor thing's a bit skinny...the guy that caught him had given him something resembling...

    Is it...

    Lilac or opal? Do Dutches even come in opal? Both parents are blue (and full siblings). Grand sire is straight chocolate for 4 gen. Granddam is a mix of blues and blacks.

    We've had 4 litters now by the same pair and until this one, it's been a mix of REW, black, and brokens (4 black, 1 tri). This litter we have 2 blacks, 2 REW and 2 of whatever this is! Doe is basic black meat mutt and buck is

    Dutch color ??

    I'll confess that I've read enough genetics posts to be more than moderately confused. The current plan is that we are focusing on blue, black & chocolate...and now some evil person is offering a tort buck :o I have no clue what kind of genes I'm (maybe) adding or if this has the potential...

    Need some guidance, please

    Let me start by saying only 1of us in this venture has even been to a show...and it wasn't me! Planning on rectifying that soon, but have already started my list of ?? While we're trekking around on my watch-and-learn tour, I'd like to avoid branding myself as a total goof. I've shown horses...

    Finally...

    :dinner: The rabbit project finally made it to the kitchen! We couldn't reach a consensus on how to cook our first rabbit, so I took one side (BBQ pulled rabbit) and JohnW took the other (grilled honey-lime). And until MY freezer is full, the folks at church that want rabbit will need to be...

    A reality check...

    And I return to earth with a thud! The processor just called to let me know I need to pick up my 1/2 of the family steer...and my freezer is full!! My sister & I split a big order of frozen fruit since we're both low on jam, it's still in there. Along with 3 gal of frozen goat milk for my...
