    Buck decides he doesn't like the water system

    I have an automatic nipple water system that everyone was happily drinking from last year. When winter hit it was shut down and replaced with lixit style bottle with the same kind of nipple. Now that we're within spitting distance of our last frost date (yay!) the water system has come back...

    How much candy mix?

    Based on what I've learned from lurking all you experts, I've been feeding my herd 16% pellets and supplementing breeding does and growouts with a candy mix of calf manna-BOSS-rolled oats. Everyone really loves the candy and I was hoping you could recommend how much I should be giving them. Thanks!

    I screwed up

    Found a surprise litter today spread on the ground around the cage of a junior doe I brought home a couple weeks ago.

    Is she a mini?

    I was struck with a bout of rabbitosis recently :oops: and came home with Georgette. Isn't she beautiful? She was said to be a standard Rex but now I'm worried that she may be a mini, the last thing I need is more small breeders! I'm guessing she's around 9wk old and she weighs 3.8 pounds...

    Will the runt still get fed?

    My first litter is 2 weeks old, three of them are venturing out of the box, they are curious and coordinated. The runt has made it this far but looks developmentally about a week behind, eyes still closed, very uncoordinated. Will the doe keep feeding him in the box if the others are chasing her...

    Starting Trio?

    Hi Everyone, I'm new here so please refer me to an appropriate thread if this has already been covered. I am hoping to get a small meat operation going soon. My grand plan ;) involves starting with a trio of a SF buck and one NZ or Cali doe and one Creme d'Argent doe (if I can find those...
