http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/pet/3520970758.html Check out these rare albino cotton tail bunnies that are up to date on their health. I wonder what it takes to be up to date on health for an albino bunny & I wonder where they get the pigmentation for the dark points. These must be a super...

Are people having better luck with litters this year than they did last year after the summer? We only had about 30 days over 100 this year. Last year we had 70 and most were over 110. My does are appearing much more receptive and even acting pg. Last year it took till mid-december for most of...

Last year after a horrendously hot Texas summer, I didn't get a litter of kits till after Thanksgiving and then it was just one litter out of 10 does. I didn't get multiple litters till Jan. That put me in a position to try to push my does to go longer to be able to get enough butcher babies to...

Andy Griffith is an Icon. He was everything Hollywood isn't. I love the idyllic world of Mayberry and even Matlock. His voice just makes you feel good. He reminds me of my dad. Truly the end of an era.

This year, in addition to my meat rabbits I also bred some lops and mini rexes to sell as pets to help off-set the costs of feeding the meat rabbits. Didn't like the mini rexes, they are going away. However, I loved the lops!! and so did everyone else. The lops sold out faster than a single mini...

I have never seen it on the list of grains that good for rabbits. I bought rye to use in my grain mill for making bread but our family doesn't like it. What better way to use 50lbs of rye than feed it to the rabbits mixed with other grains but I don't know if it is ok. Anyone know? Edit: By...

Three bay commercial kitchen sink dh installed in my kitchen. I have 10 children 4 of which are teenagers so lots of friends as well. This sink has made my life SO MUCH EASIER!!!! That even before butcher day now look. I have 14 rabbit carcasses soaking in one sink with two more still available...

Rabbits are very scarce in our area and it took me well over a year to even find rabbits and another year to establish a herd that was producing. Last spring we got about 5 litters before it got too hot to breed. That was the first year to have successful babies. This year, I have a good 50...

Now that I have gotten rid of my nasty opportunistic chickens, I will be turning the chicken house into a rabbit barn. It's a octagon building made of square tubing with sheet metal walls/roof and a concrete floor. Each of the 8 walls are 8ft long. I plan to get a swap/evaporative cooler for...

I had a doe that had her babies on the wire a while back and they all died. My rabbit cages are in my chicken pen. By the time we found the babies, the chickens had already found them and had been jumping up and pulling the dead babies through the bottom of the cage. Well apparently they...

I have 8 birth children, 7 of which are girls. I know someone else that has 8 children 6 of which are boys. I know someone else that just had their 6th daughter, no boys. And I know another family that has 5 boys. They say that the sex of the baby is determined by the father(in humans anyway)...

We have had a long, hard, pouring rain for more than 24 hours now. My yard looks like a lake. I hate having to take care of rabbits in this weather. I love having outdoor cages most of the time but not days like today.

I have 4 "pet" does. Two mini lops and two mini rexes. One of the mini lops babies died today. They were a week old. Doing fine, fed well, and suddenly, they are all dead. grrrr One of the mini rexes smashed her babies on the second day because she would not get out of the box because she was...

This is a kid that has a rabitry of show rabbits and he has a youtube channel. He always blows me away with how much he knows (he may even be on rabbit talk, I dunno). He has great video updates. He just got up to 50 subscribers. I think we should blow his mind and see if we can get him 50 more...

I have 14 working does and 6 bucks. I have a tattoo clamp that holds 4 digits and I have 3 sets of numbers but I only have 6 letters. D E H W X T I acquired my numbers at an auction and because I have them and because letters are expensive, I need to come up with a system for tattooing that...

I bought a rabbit a while back that had a distinct mark/scratch on the middle of her eye that ran up and down through the center. Her eye was weepy/leaky. A few days later it started looking infected. I bought the antibiotic eye salve from tractor supply and started using that in her eye. It...

I posted a pic of my pedigreed champagne buck last summer after I bought him. I was able to get him because he wasn't showable due to his coloring. I didn't mind at the time because I just wanted the breed for my own use not for showing. Well check him out now! My daughter is going to show him...

My big blue otter standard rex had babies today!! woot woot. I also got 2 litters of babies that are 3/4 champagne 1/4 new zealand. I am so excited especially about my rexes. I plan to keep all of the does out of the litter. I know I broken the #1 rule here but I don't have pics yet.

I had wanted to raise rabbits for meat years before I actually got to start doing it. when I would mention my desire to raise rabbits for meat, it was most often met with shock or disgust at the thought of me butchering rabbits. It seems that rabbits are becoming increasingly more popular for...

Really? Out of 8 black satin kits, 6 of them are bucks! Arrggg! I really wanted to keep a doe or 2 out of this litter. Two does sure doesn't give me room to be picky.
