Hello, this is my doe's second attempt at breeding. First time was an accident and went horribly. (there was no nesting box, when I made one she ignored them, they all died one by one) This time she did most things right, she pulled fur (she actually emptied the nesting box and replaced...

Weird question but, I hear angora fur, while super soft and warm, tends to not hold its shape when spun/knitted into products. Would combining it with a different rabbit fur such as silver fox fix this problem or would it be better to sell the fiber raw until I have a sheep or goat to join the...

Not really a behavioral issues per se but I can't find a good place for this thread... How would you teach a rabbit to roll over? I see that some people teach their rabbits tricks, and I know the key is patience, not taking the rabbit too far too fast, and of course plenty of treats when they...

So I'm trying to get rabbits going and I'm starting with very large wire cages for when I scale up (but only starting with a few rabbits). It's very very VERY cold where I live to the point where keeping rabbits outside year long is basically unheard of. (Trying and having them freeze to death...

My bun escaped his cage late in the night and I awoke at 3am to find him hopping around in a bunch of clumping cat litter. (I have no idea how he got up that high, the litter is waaaaaay above his cage. Did he scale the walls?!) Horrified I picked him up and found he had hopped into a wet patch...

Alright so, I saw an old friend recently, mentioned I had rabbits, and she told me her grandmother (a farmer) had gotten some rabbits recently and released them as a way to keep predators from attacking her other animals. (the idea I guess was predator satiation, the predators hopefully go for...

So I know the golden standard for floor types is 1/2inch by 1inch 14 gauge double galvanized, but I'm having a heck of a time finding it. Lowes doesn't have it, walmart doesn't have it, tractor supply does have it. And even on the world wide web its been crazy hard and crazy expensive. I've...

Hello! I live in Northern Maine and have my heart set on a blue harlequin style bun, although I am very willing to compromise for other similar looking buns, especially if they're broken-blue type. I can travel quite a distance for them but the only available ones I can seem to find are on the...

Just curious what you guys think of snakes, or if there are people here who like snakes. : P Considering.

Hello! I'm looking to breed a huge amount of rabbits (like 600+ range, for science reasons) and was wondering what the options are on buying rabbit feed in bulk? Does anyone know any good websites or suppliers for this purpose?
