I was at the Spring Swap Meet a few weekends ago and had the hardest time selling rabbits. Last year I sold out by the end of the weekend. It got me thinking. Is Easter making selling breeding stock for meat look evil? Or Was it something else? I took a little time and walked around the Meet and...

Howdy yall. I have been a very busy girl lately. LOL. Been working my day job, now a night job. Finally got a tiny promotion. :P Been keeping our rabbitry afloat, and getting geared up for the Spring swap meet. :runaround: I finally got around to drying my first set of feet, tails, and ears a...

I'm not a big tech savvy person, and am needing yalls expertise. I am wanting to build a website for my Rabbitry. What are yalls thoughts? What is the best way to go about making a website? And most importantly how to get views/hits? How do I keep from getting eaten alive and swallowed whole...

Ok. I have a huge question.... NZW + NZW/Cal = Grey kits :?: I have Cream of Tartar and she is New Zealand White. Then I have Cumin and he is New Zealand White x Californian. Now they have had 3 litters so far and all kits have been either REW or Cal coloring. This time around all seemed...

.... is almost done. Need to set pluming but other than that, it is golden. Even used it to send 6 off to freezer camp this afternoon. :D

Next Spring we are thinking about adding about 3-4 chickens and a duck or 2. So in true Cathy fashion I'm hitting the books and web. :oops: :lol: :lol: Told my DH that I wanted to hit the library for some light reading. :lol: :lol: I came out with the loan limit. :P :lol: :lol: Only 7...

The Fillmore Swap Meet is in one month. I'm super excited, but also very nerves. Is there any advice or things I should be considering before, during, and after the meet. Here's what I have so far: -Items to be sold -Rabbits -Read up and printed laws -Tables -Easy up -Business cards and...

Spent the better part of the day cleaning up the rabbitry and updating cards. And what do I see? Mama laying on her shelf relaxing away from her 2wk old kits,who are now exploring the cage. Do your does hide from their kits? Lets see your pictures of mom hiding.

I have read several tanning threads on this site, but I'm more a visual learner. I found this: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to- ... bbit-pelt/ It has pictures and is laid out nicely. I was wondering if it seemed right to yall? I've never tanned an hides and have hopes of doing a deer...

Well our neighbor/cousin-in-law asked if we'd look through the barn and find scrape metal to be recycled. Her DH is suppose to take a load down when he gets back from work. So me and my DH went through it and found a ton of scrape and made neat little piles that her hubby can easily load. And...

I know a lot of people post pictures of the meat mutts in hopes that you, the group, can give some feed back. I know without actually placing your hands on the animal it can be hard. But I, like so many, would love yalls opinions on the keepers I have selected. First is Taco Born 9/26/15...

I have a doe, one year old, that is getting an invite to dinner. Breeding record: 1. Only 1 fall over no litter 2. 3 fall overs a litter of 7, made almost no nest, but at least all the kits were in the box. 3. Only 1 fall over no litter 4. 3 fall overs litter of 8 made a very nice nest. But...

I was bagging up some bunny berries and it got me to thinking: :? How pure is your bagged, ready for sell, bunny berries? :shock: I have been trying to get most of the hay/straw out of it, but am right at about 80/20 (poop/h&s). What are yall's thoughts?

Ok went out to the rabbitry to do evening checks and feeding. At first glace everything is normal. Feed everyone, Watered everyone. Checked and took pics of the little ones. Reached in to Rosa's nest to pull the black kit. And I touch something very cold, furry but cold. :?: It was a week...

Is a huge pain the the backside. I need a new computer. So I have been looking around. I bought a MSI from Office Max back in Spring 2011 for $250 and it has been a great computer. I was thinking about getting another one, but the price has tripled for the same kind of computer. :overreaction:

Ok. I raise rabbits for meat. But my daughter, Izzy, is wanting a snuggle bunny. We've talked and she understands that it would have to be a doe, that the rabbit has to earn her kept, and that her cage has to be all wire. Now here's the tricky part, her bedroom is about the size of a shoe box...

There are few animals that I truly hate, but mice are at the top of that very short list. Went out to feed rabbits this morning and found 3 half eaten kits, 1 mia, and a very distressed doe. :evil: So I made a redneck mouse trap out of a 5gal bucket, some wire, a beer can and some peanut...

My chin/nzw doe had her kits yesterday afternoon. I have made sure to leave them alone over the past 24 hours. But I checked the kits, just a quick peak, to see how they are doing. And surprise surprise they look as if they are not being feed. I gave Rosa a 1/4c of BOSS with her dinner last...

It's been a busy week. But would like to share some of the fun we had this past weekend. My lovely daughter, Izzy, and hubby took some chocolate/peanut butter cereal and covered it in chocolate. I happen to look over about the time DH said "Look I made rabbit poop." :x :lol: :lol: Izzy...
