I thought I would share some photos of the Harlequins and the Czech Frosty show. There were 4 Harlequin Breeders with a total of 31 rabbits on the Saturday of the show!! We had 3 Czech Frosty breeders and 8 rabbits for Show A!!! This was an exhibition show as the Czech as still COD.

Hey all Long time since I was here last... Thought I would send an update. I went to my first ARBA convention this year. "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times....." I drove 15hours with my van and my little 15ft camper. On the way there we experienced some vehicle issues.... and...

Hi ALL A friend's cat has found 2 wild baby bunnies!! She has texted me in a panic! I have her looking her yard over for a nest, as I am sure I read that it is best to just put them back and let mama take over........ However, I do have a litter with kits that look the same age..... What are...

:evil: :evil: :evil: I'm furious!! One of my favourite does had a beautiful nest of 8.... 3 show marked! Now I have 5, but they are all missing one leg each!!! I did search the forum, and found Rats or mice could be the issue!! :overreaction: SO my question... How do I get rid of them...

Hi Everyone..... It's been a while! I have stopped by off and on during the winter, but I haven't had a lot of Rabbit stuff going on because it was just too cold... I am currently at that "too many rabbits" stage again and will need to do a serious cull of breeders if I am going to keep...

Hi all ! :cheer2: Looking to see if any of my Rabbit Talk friends are going to this show?? It's been almost 3 months since my last rabbit show!!! And I have been fairly quiet on here lately.... :D The first show of my season happens in 7 short days. Over the past few months I have...

I know there is a lot involved in creating a new breed..... Was wondering if anyone has information on it? Tips etc. I am spit balling more than anything, because I need more space to do a project like this..... But I'm thinking it would be cool to breed a mini Harlequin, that poses like a ND...

So, I sold my meat mutts to focus on breeding Magpie Harlequin. One of the does, Little Red Riding Hood, in my meat mutt group was a big sweetie... she would crowd the door of the cage for pets and nuzzle my hands... she let me kiss her face and was an all around good mom. I miss her.... Today...

I had it pointed out to me that tomorrow is Aug 1st! This means two things!!!! 2 more weeks until I start breeding rabbits again!! I lost a mama bunny last year to the heat and promised myself I would hold off July and August breeding rabbits so that I didn't loose any to the heat this year...

So, I had someone tell me to add a splash of apple cider vinegar to my rabbit's water to help prevent weaning enteritis. I've been doing this since mid May.... so about 2 months.... A. water is the bottles started to smell awful!!! OMG ... think sewer water!! I cleaned all the bottles well...

Canada is having it's 150 year anniversary this year! :canada-fireworks: Canadians tend to be a relaxed group and we celebrate, but, it doesn't seem we celebrate as loudly as our Southern neighbours. This YEAR there are flags EVERYWERE!... Canada is Shouting and we are a proud and noisy...

My Beautiful show doe Kiki finally kindled a really nice litter of 6 kits. She was starting to get overweight, so I was really concerned she would never have kits. She was a bit off day 1.... but I understand it, most moms are "off" the day they give birth. She kindled June 25th... yesterday...

Background: I live in a subdivision I don't like the current industrial food system (specifically the way meat animals are raised) My response is to grow my own and sell excess product. I "rent" (trade chickens for using their land) space at a friend's farm for my chicken tractor and raise...

I have a couple of grow-out pens and the grow-outs are sometimes mixed sexes, but don't stick around longer than 16 weeks..... Today, during chores I catch a doe pulling fur off her cage mates and trying to hay stash... she's been moved to a solo pen with a nest box ... she's only 13 weeks...

This is a sensitive subject for some people. I posted it in the meat rabbits section for this reason. I believe that I'm going to need to start nest box culling, because my rabbits are having litters of 11-12 or more!! The poor mamas putting so much into raising their kits that , even with...

I have been mulling over selling all my meat mutts and focusing my Rabbitry on Magpie Harlequins.... After rushing around this morning to get the herd taken care; I realized, I am not enjoying this... I have this hobby to enjoy and I'm not, because I have too many rabbits! I do have to do a...

Ok.... so I have been experiencing problems with Weaning Enteritis since I started in rabbits..... Now, I consistently loose kits to it. (1-2 a litter, sometimes as many as 50%+) I have started adding Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to all my rabbit water. (2tsp/3gallons) My rabbits get copious...

Does anyone have an online or connection on how to test a rabbit for snuffles? I got a rabbit at show. Young, about 8weeks old By the last day of the show it was sneezing Very very small amount of white snot. (keep in mind that the cages were not the cleanest by day 3 and she had strange hay)...

Direct quote from the owner of the BUCK.... "But, that's impossible!!??" I bred a Magpie Harlequin Doe to a Chinchilla Rex buck. Both animals have pedigree that goes back far enough for me to say one is a Harlequin from Harlequin and one is a Chinchilla Rex from Chinchilla Rex.... So the...

I am big into research..... I will be moving to a farm in 3-5 years... I am currently researching Goats vs Sheep (Hair sheep) I want a smaller animal, that I can milk & raise for meat I'm in SW Canada; Winters are damp and cold (couple of months of 10-30 degrees); Summers are hot and humid...
