That could be what I mean... I don't know much about the illnesses, and DH said some of his rabbits had it when he was young... Can you still eat those rabbits or is it best to just avoid it altogether?

Well, the litter born December 18 will be 15 weeks old tomorrow. I still have all 11 of them... and I'm thinking this weekend they'lll be processed, save for 2 females and 1 male, which I'll be replacing my adults with. As for the adults...we think one of our male adults might have gotten...

My daughters and I fleshed a hide last night. I THINK we did it right - there doesn't seem to be any "meat & fat" left... but there are still little strips of what looks like membrane, but it's not.coming.off. without pretty much taking off the last layer of "skin" and exposing the pores...

Thank you - he's definitely not having any issues eating... he eats just as much, if not more, as some of the bigger buns. My daughters and I split up a few of them, gave them the same amount of foods (pellets, lettuce, fruit slices, veggies...) and the little one had it gone before the fatty...

Pics! 10 days old today! (overnight) There are 3 distinct coats on them... here they are. I have 5 black: I have 3 of these: and 3 of these: Eyes weren't open last night... I did not check them this morning, since I had to be at work for 7am... but the hubby said they weren't yet open...

Hi everyone, your expertise would be much appreciated... 11 little bunbuns doing well - they've started just in the last few days nibbling at mom's food. Over the last few days, I've noticed that one little bun is trailing behind the others in terms of weight... 10/11 are averaging 7.5 - 9...

I've gotten into this phase of DIY with strange things... I've recently gotten my hands on 4 filing cabinets... one is a tall 4 drawer one, and 3 are the short 2 drawer ones... My first step is cleaning them all up, obviously; but after, I'm going to use the tall one flipped on its side with...

Our Polish are in our garage... their water doesn't really freeze, it starts to... they spill it more than anything. It's been working out with switching out the bottles so far; their appetite is still really strong, so I'm not really worried; it's a hassle more than anything.

Maybe I should have mentioned they're flemish giants and flemish/nz cross? :) I ended up just buying another set of bottles... It doesn't seem they're drinking that much? If anything, I was worried they were drinking less than required... LOL I'm using 16oz bottles now - one around 6am, one...

The first 2 days with mine was tough...her milk hadn't really come in yet...they were clearly getting something but not much... I had an old jacket...i held the front paws and head away with one arm, and had the other jacket arm wrapped over her hind legs with my own leg over them and literally...

Finally this morning mama fed the kits herself! She wanted absolutely nothing to do with the nest box... So I tried to flip her...nope. Gave her a few grapes...while she was distracted I put one of the kits under her, cradled in my hand... It latched on immediately, and as soon as it did, she...

A few reasons... It was a decision I made late in the night Wednesday, because they still weren't being fed. They took it at that time... It took 90 minutes. Thursday morning, I brought mama inside...after 6 hours...nothing. Flipped her, she was great. Thursday night tried again... Other mama...

The color in this one isn't great...and it was when I first found them, chilled....they are darker. I've been alternating between does, flipping them on their back anf they've been getting round bellies but not super round... Enough not to be thin and wrinkly... They're clearly being...

The farmer I got her from said she wasn't a first timer. -- Tue Dec 18, 2018 11:07 am -- And we have babies!! The first didn't have any...not surprising. Doe B had 3, all dark... And C had a few but I can't tell how many or what color because they are absolutely buried in wiggling fur and...

No - and I`d have been surprised if there was... unless they bred on the way to my home through the cages.... (I got them on the 9th) Otherwise I`d say it's a false pregnancy, considering the dates I'm using are between the 18th - 22nd... that would be around 18 days.... -- Thu Nov 08, 2018...

I did a search for posts but the answers didn't much help me... I'm having a really hard time with water right now. It's cold where I am. Today is -31* celcius... (-23F) and I struggle with the water bottles / bowls Right now, what I end up having to do is fill up a small ceramic crock... the...

When do does pull fur? Yesterday afternoon when I got home from work, I noticed that all 3 does have a stash of fur at the far end of their hutch. Not just a fluff... a fairly large amount. I thought they only did this when they`re about ready to give birth.... they were only bread on the...
