We are not swimming in debt but money is supertight. We can pay all are normal bills but doctor's bills pile up and we have no savings. I am trying to figure out how to fix our budget so we can 1) pay the doctor bills 2) start saving money for emergencies and move to Texas. I've been checking...

I found this on Cheezburgers.com. It is so funny. And for the OCD among us.... Can you spot the formatting error in the chart?

I just set up my first aquarium in ages. :D Right now I have one fancy guppy that is doing good. The other two died with the heater failed overnight (our house is kept about 65 oF). How many small fish would you put in a 30 gal tank? I thinking a small group of guppies, 1 fire gourami, and a...

:-P :bouncy: I'm pregnant! Due around end of July. I had my first OB appointment and ultrasound on Thursday. Seeing the baby was soo cool. :happy: :( DH is making me stop at 3 chickens and a fish tank right now. So I don't know when I can get bunny setup going. On the other hand, he says I...

I've been lurking on BYC and reading the sticky about sexing chickens. I'm still clueless. Any ideas? I didn't want to create an account for just one question. The big ones are were supposed to be 2 months old when we got them in August. The small ones were chicks. Big White woke me up...

I finally have time to work on the rabbitry shed! My current plan is to divide the 10'x12' shed into two 6'x7' pens. There will be a 3'x12' aisle in front of the double doors. Part of the aisle may become a buck pen. The current plan is to have the buck swap from pen to pen. How many Havana or...

I bought one NZ cross at the swap meet a month ago. I setup Cadburry's old cage in the garage. I was afraid that I couldn't kill a rabbit once I had it for a while so I got one to start with. Bunny1 was an evil meany even with daily handling. She got 16% pellets, timothy hay, and garden greens...

There are a lot of wild rabbits running around my house to be. They are all over the remains of the previous owners gardens and have been in and out of the shed I want as a rabbitry. Can they give my new rabbits disease through contaminating garden/ browse material? How long do most rabbit...

How does B3 Ballard Backyard Brigade sounds for my soon to be established farm? I am going crazy, 8 days till I get the house! :D I like alliteration and it just sounded great since it doesn't specify animal type. Hubby to be likes it. Do you guys think it sounds corny, too cutesy?

Soo excited the home inspection didn't find any insurmountable flaws in the house we are looking at. A couple breakers need replaced with gfci ones but that is no big deal. :) http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhom ... 8598-14596 2.5 acres to play with. I can't decide is bunnies will go in...

I am soon excited!! I think we finally found a house that will work for us. It is outside city limits so no restrictions on critter. It is on 1.66 acres which seems enormous to a city kid. :) My only concern is most of the lot is steep hillside, only 0.4 acre is flat. Would goats work on the...

Hi all, I'm still counting down the months till we move (June) and researching. I am planning on havana (prefered) or dutch rabbits. I came across several websites that had door hanging nest boxes. Here is one site: http://www.downtherabbithole.ca/nestboxes.html I think these might be a good...

:cry_baby: :cry_baby: I went home for lunch and he was dead. Just laying there cold and stiff in his nest box. I don't know what happened! He was fine when I got up around 4 to go to work. Attacked his pellets and hay like normal. He was drinking and pooping normal poops. So upset, hate...

Cadbury, my rescue bunny is doing much better. Put on 0.6lbs for total of 2.6lbs and I can't feel all the bumps on her spine anymore. The fur on her back is ~1" long and her feet are very fuzzy. LOL, yes her, I checked again and Cadbury is a girl. Soo, what breed does she look like and any...

My fiancée just called and said my dog ate a heating pack. It was one of the iron based ones that heat up when exposed to air. He is calling the vet now to find out what to do. Has anyone's dog eaten one of these?! Were they okay? :cry:

I went to my first rabbit show today in Terre Haute, In. There were a lot of mini-rex, dutch, havana, satins, english lop, and mini lop. I saw a few thriantas, californias, and new zealands. It was a youth show which might be why the bigger breeds did not have a lot of entries. Holding the...

Everyone meet Cadbury. His ear was injured 2 or 3 days ago by the 6 yr old who owned him. :evil: So far I know he is a boy (penis easy to spot but no testicles showing) and a REW. His right ear is swollen with blood like a big blister. Any ideas for treating it? It doesn't seem to hurt him...

$10 on Craigslist for a white rabbit with indoor cage setup. Not sure of age, breed, or sex. Kinda a rescue. It's for sale because the daughter was too rough and hurt it's ear. If he's not sick or full of mites he's coming with me. I figure worst that happens I get experience with rabbits, a...

I found this craigslist ad while I was looking for something else. http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/grd/2129663812.html A lot of new 24"x24" cages for $15 each. That seems to be a decent prices from what I've read. My concern is that I'm looking at Californian and other 8-12lb rabbit breeds...

Does anyone know when spring shows are near SE Iowa? I'be tried Google but not had much luck. I want to see a bunch of New Zealands, Californians, and hopefully Brevens before I decide what breed I want. Thanks Margali
