Lucifer is 6 months old now he is a Doberman, and so far he is doing pretty well. When we first got him I would go up to him daily while he was eating/drinking/playing, and mess with his mouth, body whatever he had in front of him to test how his tolerance is. Not once has he made a wrong move...

Hello again everyone! It has been sometime since I have logged into RabbitTalk let alone made a post. I wanted to return, and give updates on all that has been going on since I left. (LONG POST WARNING! LOL.) Like the title says I am back, but no longer have any rabbits. Every was hopping...

Good morning everyone! I am finally back with a new batch of chickens, and chicks! There's 1 chick that I need help on trying to figure out which breed it is. Figured you guys would be able to help me as well since some of you also have chickens! Here's a little back story: My husband, and I...

Okay I had a doe kindle a litter of kits 10 days ago. First few days went fine. Now it seems as though she is not producing milk anymore. We lost 1 already, but I think that was due to her stepping on it when it crawled out of the nest. Half of the kits still look pretty fat, and healthy, but...

Hey everyone! Finally had my first litter of Harli's. Not purebred, but the color. Yesterday one of my first time momma's gave birth to 8 gorgeous kits! She did a great job. Pulled lots of fur, got all the kits in the box, VERY relaxed when I go to handle the kits. I know for sure 3 are Harli's...

So I have 2 does that are/were? pregnant. Today is day 27, I went out to feed everyone, and as I had my head stuck in one of my pregnant does cage I happened to look down. (Their hutch is out side, and their just hits the ground until I shovel it.) I saw a red spot that did not look like poop. I...

So I'm getting ready for my first "hot litter." I bred all through the cold months, and of course I provided plenty of straw for the nest boxes, but these will be my first warm months litters. All the does are outside. So should I just give them their nest box, and only let them fill it with...

I've had many litters with different breeds. Crosses, purebred, etc. The one thing I an noticing is that from what I can tell of other other breeders growth rates. Mine apparently awful (by my own standard.) From looking at posts here on RT, and a few groups on FB it seems most breeders 8-12...

This is Thunder, my Blue FG buck. He will be 9 months old this July. I had done quite a bit of reading about when FG's are ready to start breeding. Most of what I read online said that FG's start breeding at 8-9 months of age, of course for bucks you wait for their testicles to drop, and...

So I have decided that I would like to grew, and make fodder a main part of my rabbits diet. Along with a handful of pellets, their free choice hay, and of course the oats as treats. I had my husband pick up about 4lbs of wheat seed the other day, and am currently on day 2. Nothing much to look...

Wasn't quite sure where to post this since it's really not a "health" issue, I don't think... :roll: haha. I came to notice a week ago that while my rabbits were nice, and plump over the cold season now as it has warmed up it seems everyone has lost a bit of weight. Not like sickly thin, but...

So after my husband, and I cut down the pine trees in the back we were left with some unsightly bald patches in the yard. We picked up a 2 bags of Mixed Grass Seed, and I was wondering if I could use the as fodder for the rabbits. I've looked all over the bag, and I see nothing of "treated,"...

When I first got my Blue FG, Thunder I noticed that he would shake his head a lot more than my other rabbits. Upon inspection I did see that he had some wax in his ear, but that was about it. I went ahead, and dropped vegetable oil in both his ears, and the head shaking had stopped.... Until a...

My Cal Luna is about the best rabbit, and breeding doe I have. So has great litters, no losses, and is absolutely one of the best mothers! Just after she has kindled her second litter I checked out her body condition, and she seemed very well so I decided that I wanted to go for 1 more Cal...

Over the weekend I decided to buy a harness for my rabbits so I could let them hop around the yard, and get some fresh air. Which so far they LOVE it. As soon as they see the harness in my hands they all start bouncing around their cages hoping it's their turn, lol. When I go to put the harness...

I have 3 does that I kept back from my first ever litter. 2 Black Agoutis, and 1 Siamese Sable. The 2 Agoutis I kept, because their growth rate was amazing. Like 3 times that of the rest of their siblings, and the Siamese I kept, because I loved her color, and she was the sweetest little doe I...

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been as active. It has been SO crazy around here lately! This post is just going to be a mesh up of everything going on. First lets start with the trees. -_- We have about 13 pine trees in our yard. Pines are pretty for me personally they serve no purpose. A...

I am really thinking about registering with the ARBA, and am wanting to register my Rabbitry name. First though I am clueless. I have been poking at the ARBA website, and I am not sure if I am just blind, and clueless, but I am having a hard time finding certain things I want to know before I go...

I've been working on my website for a while, and only letting a few people know about it until I thought it was "good enough" for the public eye, lol. I've done about as much as I could for the time being, and I starting to feel like the site is missing something? So I am asking for help, or...

I've been reading about rabbit behavior, and body language, and I have to say I am getting a real kick out of it! Literally each page makes more, and more sense to me now! :D Especially when I read the part about a rabbit being SO VERY offended that it will pee on YOU, or on something that...
