Okay so I've been absent mostly from the forums because I've been too sick for raising rabbits. I kept my faves as pets. At the moment, one of them has fur mites. I've tried to keep her isolated from the rest as much as possible, feeding her last and such. She has the distinctive v-shaped...

Thank you so much for your help, Akane. I just picked him up and his breathing seemed fine, didn't even notice it (b/c of the heart). Felt over his skin more firmly. I noticed a small amount of dandruff, so I'm going with mites too, you're probably right. I actually don't have Ivermectin in my...

All right, guys, I figure you might know what's up and whether or not I should go to my local vet (who was totally fine with me bringing him baby raccoons and only charges for what he does). I have a total of three guinea pigs. Two Peruvians (boar, Rikki, and sow, Usha) and one American (boar...

While rescue rabbits can be lovely, I have to say my experience has been a bit sub-par. I took in a "Lion Lop" (aka Lionhead mixed with some sort of lop, probably Mini). I was told came with two cages, one indoor and one outdoor, so I felt it was a good investment. When I went to see her, I...

So I'll get pics for everyone tomorrow, but I finally caved and "rescued" some of the ducklings of the feral Muscovies at my local pond. The adults are so tame that they let me pet them, yes, but they also just let me steal their offspring. Smh. One of the ducklings appeared to be abandoned. Its...

Okay, so the title is a little more exciting than planned but I had to go for alliteration. Anyway, I'm new to cavies. I got one pair late last year and my third this spring. I have two boars and a sow. I have them in proper-sized, solid-bottom cages. They get plenty of water, supplemented by...

Woohoo! I noticed the ad and was like, "Wait, is this new?" I'm quite pleased though. ShowRabbits is kind of what brought me back to RT again. I was too busy chatting about my IRL rabbits vs my pixel rabbits. :lol: Figured this would be the better place for that. On SR, I run game-version...

Thank you for the warm welcome back. :) My illness has improved a little, Miss M. Unfortunately it is chronic. Blah. Seems like my autonomic nervous system and autoimmune systems are a bit, ahem, wonky. -shrugs- Many diagnoses, but it all goes back to that. Modern medicine is the bee's knees...

I imagine that was almost a little ominous ("It's alive!"), but that kind of sums up the past couple of years. Anyway, I've been going through a lot mostly in regards to illness. Since my last post, I sold off my flock of rabbits and almost all of my rabbits with the exception of Jasmine, the...

Gotcha. ;) So they're both likely otters with differing rufus modifiers. :o So cool.

What's the difference between an otter and a tan, visually? (I know the genetics.) I got a black otter yesterday and what appears to be another black otter. Smith's Kit, however, has beige body ticking with only a little orange-y on the base of her neck. Bonnie has dark orange body ticking (and...

Oooh. Do you know what a marten is? It's an otter, just that's not C. cchd (chinchilla) or cchl (seal or sable) makes a marten, but otherwise they're genetically identical. Person on a Jersey Wooly Facebook group said he's definitely sable marten. Which is good, because that's what I was hoping...

Really? Is it the wool that makes him seem so much lighter than my MR black buck was? Because Basil was blue-black he was so dark. I mean, even this JW's face makes me think shaded. -shrugs-

Any idea what this red-seeded plant is? I thought amaranth at a distance, but the leaves are wrong. Would like to know what it is, since it's all over. http://imgur.com/IMcCpUr Also, can rabbits eat fig leaves?

http://imgur.com/ltWH7PJ Here's the dealio. I've been offered this buck for $40. Breeder thought he was a black otter, but I'm thinking seal or sable marten. Thoughts on color? Also on quality? He looks pretty good to me, but I'm just starting out in the breed and would love some help deciding...

:3 Are those Jersey Woolies? So cute. Little sable and silver marten?

It's not the best hay, no. We get it at TSC, mostly so they don't get cold. If it is the hay, is there anything I should do or--let it work itself out? o.O Of course, that would make good sense. She doesn't chew on the bars, but she does to town on wooden chews. A splinter or two, or just her...

I have a rabbit who lost her cage mate, her daughter. I thought she might be depressed, as she perked up and started to finally eat after I introduced her to a pair of kits--she's very maternal--but she was still only eating wheat, hay, or papaya, none of her usual pellets. I gave her a more in...

That makes sense, I suppose. I didn't really think this question through. Then again, I don't feel like I'll know much of anything unless I ask stupid questions. As is, I think I've decided to just keep with the Lori Farms line of rabbits. They are the hardiest buggers. One doe broke a toe and...
