It's just the wife an I so these will last us awhile. :)

Yes they are. It's about time also.Was costing alot to keep them growing. I do have a doe who just had 7 more on the 15th. So a new crop is on the way. :lol:

Harvested 17 rabbits yesterday. That should keep the grocery and feed bills down for awhile. :lol: Man are my arms and legs are sore and tired. This old wore out man can't work like he use to anymore. :cry:

I have a doe who had 8 as of 1:30 today,but I think she has more to go. She usually drops 11. When I saw her she was sitting just inside the nest on her rump with her left foreleg resting on the edge of the nest. That leg was shaking like she was trying to pass another kit. I will check before I...

Thanks folks. I didn't mean for this thread to be about mine and my wife's problems. I guess I just had to release some pressure and got carried away. Thanks for the advice about the tractor and the kind words about my wife's condition . Marinea-- Thanks for the offer. If I find myself...

My wife does get yearly vaccines but it has only been in the last couple of years. She was diagnosed with dementia about 8 years ago so I doubt if that is the cause. Dementia runs in her family. Several of her aunts and uncles have had it as well as her paternal grandmother. Yes I do get angry...

I have been giving them greens from the yard since the grass started turning green in early spring. I do increase the amount so they should have no problems there. With only 5 to separate there should be no problem,other than taking part of my watering system on the hutches and putting it on the...

I will be harvesting 16 fryers this week leaving me with just my breed stock. I am thinking of putting the breeding stock in a rabbit tractor in the yard where there is plenty of grass to feed on. I have 2 bucks and 3 does. I know I can put the all does in one section separate from the bucks...

Zass - I believe you are right. Food would have been a great start. I wish I could have kept him but I have too much on my plate right now and can't afford those kinds of vet bills. I also couldn't see him continue to suffer. I do wish I could find out how did this. I know I could set up a...

I use mineral oil for ear mites.Just put a few drops in her ear every few days for at least 2 weeks. You have to do this to kill hatching eggs. Keep the rabbit separated from other rabbits and discard anything in the area that can't be sterilized (Wood Paper and such). Completely clean the cage...

cmfarm--It sounds like someone didn't want to take their dog to the vet and dumped it out there Thats what I am thinking. It is a shame because the PB was trained and responded to some commands. He was even leash trained.When I put a rope on his neck he walked beside me and never pulled on the...

The busted up cages are repaired. Before I could go put them in the hutch it began to rain so I just hurried up and covered the hutch with tarps put heat lights and an electric heater under the cages, grabbed the Doe that was injured dispatched it and ran to the house to skin and clean it. That...

I decided to take the dog to a no kill shelter. They were full up and had no room for him. I spent 1.5 hours trying to find the Parish dog pound. They were in a town about 12 miles away. When I went in to talk to them I was informed they only took in dogs they catch in their town. The dog was...

About 2 hours ago something told me to go outside. I heard all kinds of noise coming from my rabbitry. I get a flash light and go take a look. A Pitt bull is attacking my rabbits. He sees me and puts his head down and walks to the back of the inclosure with a guilty look on his face. I held the...

Be careful with them dogs. I have a golden lab that loves to play rough. She is always scratching my arms up like that. My skin tears easily also due to the working all my life outside, blood thinners and other meds I take. I usually clean the wound,hold pressure on it till blood flow slows...

OK thats what I wanted to know. As for the tattoos, all will be going to freezer camp. I do have colored markers to give each one a number inside an ear. Then I will right the numbers in my log book just for reference.Each mother will have it's own color for her litter. If I see the markings...

I have 2 litters of kits I need to move form moms. One set of 3 and another set of 6. Can i put the bucks from both litters in one cage and all the does from both litters in another? I am getting short on cages but all the kitts are a little small yet to send to freezer camp. The litter of 6...
