Thank you, I have been having the same problem. I tried raising the feeders and it helped a little. Now I have to pick up some golf balls.

I sell cervical dislocation tools, PM me interested. I find it less traumatic for both parties. It takes out a lot of the error.

So far this is pretty intense breeding for me, maybe too much, but we will see. This has been a fun learning experience. Thank you for everyone's help. We have over 30 kits and it is just my wife and myself, with our first one on the way. I plan on giving a little away at first to a couple...

Thank you for the tips. Since every doe I have is on their first or second litter, I am giving them the 3 strike rule. I am looking forward to selectively breeding them.

I have this horrible problem... too many rabbits. All 6 of my does are nursing between 2 days and 3 weeks. I am in the position now of having to get freezer a rabbit to make space in the grow out pen, one of the does is currently occupying the cage. Since I am just got started about 3-4 months...

Thank you for confirming that Zass. Doing some searching that is what I found too. Much more at ease now. She is a 2nd time mom and she raised her first litter of 5 wonderfully.

My NZ doe just had one single kit today. Pretty sad that is all she had. This is her second litter and the previous litter was 5. I want to breed her again, I don't see the point of now waiting 4-6 more weeks to breed her again. I just see it as a waste of time and feed to stop everything for...

Hello all. I have an idea to make a fodder system that floods and drains on a timer. I will still need to rinse seed, add seed, change water daily. I am wondering where everyone gets their parts for their systems. I am looking for overflows and flush mounted drains. Anyone have a online...

I am having a really hard time finding a supplier near me. I am right outside of Northeast Philadephia, the closest place is tractor supply about 40 minutes away. I usually get 4-6 50lb bags of pellets when I visit my mother-in-law in Lancaster since it is affordable there. Besides pellets, I...

Marinea, I am planning to make a video, once I have a rabbit ready that is ready. __________ Tue Jan 13, 2015 5:07 pm __________ Mounted Trying out green. Finished a few more.

Thank you. I was going to start weighing her. Thanks for the numbers Zass. I had one litter born on wire and I will try by best to not have that happen again. Great news about the NZR. I am still working on getting my smaller. I have 6 does and 2 bucks. I want to get it down to 3-4 does and 2...

I use Havalon Bolt Knife. It uses large replaceable razor blades. I don't have to worry about shapening anything. When the knife gets dull, just swap blades. It has made butchering so easy and precise. I think it is a little over priced for what it is. The blades aren't horriblely priced either...

I have been wondering if I should bring mine in. It is 8 degrees out right night. Which is the coldest it has been this winter. It likely won't get to much colder in my area. I have 2 litters that are under 5 days old. I have a tarp wrapped around 3 sides of the structure just to keep the wind...

The link below is what I used to make them. They are 10x18. I would take some pictures but all the nesting boxes I made are being used right now. I used a brad nailer with 1 3/4" galvinized brads. It made attaching the sides very easy aand quick. A trick I did though was attach screen door...

Yeah they are the cheapo ones. Worked for me though. Built 8 cages. Not at all ergonomic though, my hands hurt after building 3 cages. I didn't ever reuse the removed clips. They are cheap enough not to have to struggle to reuse.

I tried the towel method and flipping the doe on her back. They were drinking but not getting much milk. I tried the mom and another doe that was nursing. They didn't seem to ever get enough in them. I left them feed for 5 minutes each, twice a day, trying both does. They both died...

Yeah lost all of them. Definate learning experiance.

This the end of build after many revisions. Its different than most setups but it suits my needs. When I eventually have some extra play money, I will be buying a 12x20 shed with a overhang for the rabbits. My existing shed is falling apart as you can see. A lot of time went into saving time...

Hello everyone. I make dispatching and butchering tools. Due to the interest, I have made several more and they are ready to ship out. I left them unpainted so when you place your order they will be powder coated to your color choice. All can be wall, tree or bench vise mounted. The dispatcher...

Thank you, I would greatly appreciate it.
