My English lop buck has an abscess under his chin / on his neck. it finally scabbed enough that I could pull the scab away and open it up. The pus is the consistency of a kombucha scoby. Literally. It's so tough that I can't even pull it out. I flushed it with saline. But nothing comes out. I...

Well, her eye got better in a few days and she has shown zero signs of illness. Neither have any of the others. Weird, but I'm happy that she's healthy now! I can only assume that my doe's death at my friends house was caused by something else entirely.

I have an 2 year old english lop doe that suddenly developed a drooping lower eyelid, her third eyelids are bit relaxed as well. Is it a serious symptom? Is there something that can be done for this? I snapped some pics today, but it was worse yesterday. I have heard of Horner's Syndrome, but...

Anyone bought or read these Ebooks? Are they worth it? $34? The advertising is kinda annoying, but it looks like it could be good information. I'm interested in the natural feeding book http://www.raisingrabbitsebook.com/ I saw the link for it on this page http://www.raisingrabbitsformeat.com/

She's a beauty! I'm jealous! :P

What exactly are the differences in flavor? The pellets I buy don't smell nasty to me, they kind of smell like hay or grass. I totally understand that rabbits are designed to eat fresh and dried foods, therefore it only makes sense that their bodies would be the most healthy and best tasting...

I have often heard that the meat tastes better from a naturally fed rabbit. Why is this? Is it because of the processing of the pellets, or because there is so much alfalfa in the diet? What is the difference in taste? :popcorn:

She cleaned herself up and looks good today. Her nose is dry and clean, and she's eating well. I have been monitoring them all closely since that other doe (who was culled) was first quarantined. Miss Bloody Nose and the buck (I got them all from the same terrible lying person, whom I wont...

I was just worried about some awful horrible disease that was going to kill her :) I've never had a rabbit get a bloody nose before. I just had to cull one of my four rabbits (just got them) last week for pasturella, so I'm a little paranoid about them all coming down with terrible diseases...

Yeah, say Cait's SixC Buns fast and see how that sounds! :P

I saw from googling it that it could be heat related, but its not hot today, it's a really nice temp. Our back yard is shaded, and they didn't even seem to mind the heat too much over the past few weeks either. I'm hoping its just a minor injury :/

I think KD cage went out of business.

I have a jr English lop doe that I've had for about 3 weeks. Just now she was hopping around the yard, and my daughter came running in saying she had a bloody nose. Sure enough, she's got blood coming out of her right nostril. Not heavily, but still bleeding. Is that a sign of disease? Maybe...

Kavinace PM was like a miracle for me when I had stress related insomnia. It's not cheap, but really really works and you can get it OTC. Sorry you are dealing with all that. :( http://www.amazon.com/Neuroscience-Kavi ... B00CBY978E Hmmm, there used to be loads of positive reviews on amazon...

That's beautiful! But I don't really understand the instructions either. We need a pic tutorial!

That's bizarre looking. Did she have any babies yet?

Peach, Please tell us more about that awesome rabbit watering nozzle !

It's done.

Sigh..... Thank you Tex, that was really helpful. I also do want to start breeding meat rabbits at some point, so I know I will have to get used to it. It's a just little sadder on a pretty English Lop compared to the meat bunnies that you always knew were headed for the freezer. I know she's...

Well... The old trick wasn't that easy for me. I usually had to hit it more than once, and felt terrible about it. We were using thick pieces of wood though. A metal pipe or hammer sounds a lot more effective. Thanks How do you position the rabbit before hitting it?
