    Kia/Hyundai vehicle thefts--anyone else had their car stolen?

    Yeah, there is a software upgrade being offered for free (apparently this software is already installed in the more expensive vehicles of the line, but what the problem is that the car lack half of the security system--the immobilizer that keeps the car from starting if the key fob isn't near...

    Kia/Hyundai vehicle thefts--anyone else had their car stolen?

    The kids walked away from the car and despite finger prints all over, the police are not pursuing it. Too many are being stolen on a daily basis and those kids would end up being let go by the judge since they didn't do anything jail worth (on the scale of things worth being jailed for). The...

    How did you decide to have rabbits?

    My daughter wanted a rabbit, so I got her one. A few months later she told me to get my own rabbit, lol. So I did. And it's now years later....

    Kia/Hyundai vehicle thefts--anyone else had their car stolen?

    January 8th my 2018 Kia Sportage was stolen and joyridden til the teens abandoned it when it ran out of gas. Thankfully a good citizen saw the abandonment happen and called the police, so it was found within 12 hrs of being stolen. Long story short, the body was not damaged although my window...

    Your Favorite Winter Activities!

    My DD graduates this May so I am planning her party. My DS wants to get his first job and go on the trip to Florida with the grandparents this summer. I usually crochet neck gaiters with leftover balls of yard, which is rather fun. Taking care of the couple rabbits in the garage and keeping my...

    Unexpected color in the nestbox...steel or something else??

    I found with steels it was easy to identify them from the grey coloration within their ear skin, they were never creamy white like the solids.

    Taste difference between cervical dislocation vs bleeding method, what is your opinion?

    I have found with cervical dislocation if I botch the kill (bad head positioning, arms too tired for a good hard pull) then there is much more bruising and clotting around the neck. I have done the bop and bleed, which is much easier and the death throes are contained when you put the rabbit...

    I try to keep my does from doing this as that can intimidate a new breeding buck. I've had a couple bucks run into the Friendzone rather than take on a horny doe.

    8 week old rabbits dying

    When I would transition kits from mom to growout, in addition to not changing their diets in the least, I would also throw a small pile of mom's poops in the kits cage with them every couple days. If they had a cecotrope blob in the poop bunch, cool, but I noticed the kits would nibble on mom's...

    (GRAPHIC) Deformed kits wtf happened here?

    Sometimes it's just bad genetic match ups. When I was breeding NZRs I had to import some bucks from an out of state breeder (the local pool was too small after 5 years) and I had nothing but problems with those litters. No deformities, but suddenly litters went from 10+ went to 5 or 6, internal...

    Breeding out a breed?

    Once you start breeding siblings, you have to cull hard for the undesirable traits. When I was in NZRs, I could only do an occasional sibling cross without many of the desired traits (color, conformation) falling apart. You don't want three out the four grandparents to have bad shoulders in...

    Hello from Flagstaff, AZ

    Too many genetic lethal recessives which is the reason for all the fatalities. If you're staying with the breed, expect to have high body count.

    Bucks socializing?

    My bucks were housed by each other and didn't pee on each other, although it did happen on occasion till I put up a divider by their bathroom areas.

    Do kits fed lots of hay + pellets attain their full size compared to kits fed pellets only?

    My daughter did a school project on this--the kits from the same litter were divided at weaning; those that were fed pellets grew bigger but were fattier, whereas the roughage group were less large en mass but lean. Their weights only differed by a few ounces at the end of the project (weighed...

    Hi everyone!

    Regarding my Reds, for the most part they were very congenial, but I also bred them that way. There was a couple of generations at times that took a hit in the conformation department simply because I was breeding a friendly, nice temperment into them. My first and second generation of does I...
