    Torts and stuff from 2 Agoutis, what have I got there?

    Hi, I thought my litters would get pretty boring, had a black buck and a black doe (Chantal), and her daughter, a broken agouti doe(Ruth). Only got black and agouti kits. Chantal died last year, now it's 5yo Ruth (broken) and her 1yo daughter, a solid agouti. And I got a new agouti buck with...

    Tiny bit of christmas spirit..

    There's a small, about half a meter, fir tree that sprouted next to a wall of the shop floor I work at, just a few meters from the corridor windows everyone passes going from one hall to the other. There have been quite some troubles lately, and mood has been down and cranky for quite some time...

    Is there rigor after thawing when the meat was frozen fresh?

    I would like to simplyfie things, and I didn't notice much difference in texture with what I did until now, letting them sit in salty water for appr. 3 days in the fridge. Last year something got me destracted, lost count of the days and eventually froze them after 5 days, but they were spoiled...

    No Hopping Mad anymore?

    It could be that I make a fool out of me because I'm wrong somehow, but anyway.. At least I think I remember there was a section named like that, now there is a new, private and completly inaccessible section. (the link doesn't work) Imo not good, in many ways. This is a comunity that can deal...

    Problems witrh courage to butcher

    those two are more than 6 months now, didn't even advertise them since they are so skittish I wouldn't feel comfortable giving them to anyone. They are not used to being handled, just getting them will induce massive stress. Getting a clean shot at a wriggling rabbit with the captive bolt gun is...

    Some pictures of my hutch setup

    Hi, since questions came up in another thread here are some pictures of my hutch setup :) I have 5 hutches which can be connected to two complexes, currently it's configured 1-1-3. One buckling, my two seniors, and the two breeding does with 10 kits from 3 litters (6m, 8w, 3w) This are the two...

    Dead kit stuck, can use some good luck...

    Hi, My buck managed to escape, and I wasn't sure if he got one of my retired does, so after 34 days and no sign of pregnancys or any nesting I thought it was a near miss. Nope, it wasn't. Today morning I found my 7yo Red with a kit dangling out, already ripped as she must have tried to pull it...

    DIY manual Hay Bale Press

    Hi, Summer was quite humid this year, and my shed isn't optimal for storing hay, so I lost quite a pile to mold. I can store bales much better, so I needed a press to make bales. The box is about 0.5x0.5m, about 1.2m high, tapering to the bottom a little so that I can get the bales out more...

    Young buck has no clue what to do

    Hi, my beloved, 4yo buck develops problems, don't know if it's a back injury, athritis, or a tumor of some kind, no way to find out, my vet is in full quarantine. Anyway, I got a new buck, 9 months old. Relaxed, friendly guy. Quite exited when meeting the doe, with circling, spraying, nudging...

    Efficient vegetable garden - what to plant now?

    Hi, well, it seems that I'll have plenty of time for a vegetable garden this year, and since we're pretty much heading into a full blown quarantine I would appreciate any thoughts about what to plant. There's limited space, and only so much soil I can cultivate physicly, so what are efficient...

    Doe not eating

    Hi, Magda, my agouti, 6yo, 9lbs doe stopped eating. She got quite skinny this winter, but I attributed that to her room mate which inhales every yummy food and stole her share until I noticed 2 weeks ago. I noticed Monday morning that something is wrong when she ignored her daily piece of...

    Project Cuddlebun

    Hi, my herd consists of 4 breeding does, living in mother-daughter pairs, the older ones are about 6 and heading for retirement in a few years. And there's my herd buck, my 3yo free range house bunny Herr Hase. Well, he's such a friendly guy, but does seem lonely, being single and pretty much...

    Does "broken mutt x broken mutt= REW" mean short life?

    Hi, I try to sell a doe, white, reddish eyes (with a blue tint). Got a mail that she will take her, but for half the price because as a white broken she's going to die early. Gosh, I charge 18€ for a 4kg 8 month rabbit, just to be well above meat prices, I'm not willing to haggle, but would...

    Anyone ever bonded an intact male and a spayed female?

    First, don't wonder about the wording, I used this text on other forums ;) Hi, I'm asking if someone has experience with intact buck + spayed doe living together. Yes, I know, and don't need to be told that this isn't the most promising combination, I would be glad to hear from people who...

    Crap. Another (hopefully) foster dog.

    Today, at about 11 am my fellow breeder in this road A., a rather mentally challenged guy, showed up, trying to get rid of a dog some relatives going to an assisted living facility or what dumped on him. Literally. No papers, no name, he even didn't know the sex. First, I asked his mother, with...

    My house bunny and the foster dog

    Hi, about two months ago I ran into a hutch shortage (rabbitosis... *sigh*), and since my experiences with a doe as free range house bunny are not so good (very destructive) I gave my 2 1/2 year old 8-9lbs (of course intact) herd buck a try. To my utter surprise he was completly housebroken...

    9week old kit throwing up?

    Hi, herded and baited (handful pellets) this litter of 6 back into the hutch after garden time, all ok and active, when I put in the straggler I noticed one of the kits losing a lot of clear liquid from the mouth, saliva or bile, mixed with some chewed pellets. Doesn't seem to have a problem...

    Meat mutts - what have I got here?

    Hi, my rabbits are all meat mutts, and I get very colourful litters. Doe: black (checkered genes), tipped with something I would guess. Buck is a fawn checkered. In this litter I have got black (most likely tipped something), fawn, white (blue eyed), black-white checkered, and those, I...

    My best rabbit sale til now :)

    Hi, just sold 4 bunnys, 9 week old :P I was curious about that guy because all he asked on the phone was about the colours, not if boy or girl, etc. He called about the older litter, but here decided to take 4 checkered fawn (or whatever) from the more recent litter. Turned out he's animal...
