What a sweet litter!!

Gorgeous babies!!

I'm a big fan of chocolate. I think brown fur has a universality to it, a generic but beautiful "fur" look without being easily identifiable as one animal over another. Maybe not a quality I'd want all the time, but if I had to choose one, that'd be it. Also doesn't show dirt as much and...

Yes, she is an angora. She's young--8 weeks old. I've been brushing her, but so far have gotten very little wool off. I'll keep doing that, and wetting her ears and neck. (Funny, she has figured the neck part out for herself, laying directly underneath the water bottle so it drips on her neck. I...

This little bun is confusing the heck out of me. The past two or three days, as the weather outside has heated up, she has been almost constantly laying splayed out in her cage, breathing fast, and shaking. Her cage is in my kitchen, and while we don't keep the house super cold, it doesn't...

I am going to be traveling soon, driving about 1,000, staying for a month with my mama, then driving back again. Through the Deep South. My bunny will be 9 weeks old at that time. She's an English Angora. I am brand new to rabbits. I have read that travel is stressful for them. If I left her...

This is a silly beginning, but it's a real question! You know that brand of organic food, Annie's Organics? My kids love their Cheddar Bunnies crackers. Well, on the back of the box, the founder of the company (really named Annie) describes her start with rabbits. She says that her father, a...

WOW! Congrats! Checking up on your nestbox is always one of the things I like to do when I come to Rabbittalk. Well deserved publicity!

Yay! She's here! I can't believe there is a real, live, rabbit in a big cage in my house! We are all a little bit smitten over here. She is crazy cute, and spunky and funny, and sweet, and not even a little bit shy, and very laid back, and maybe--probably--the softest thing any of us has ever...

Thanks, everybody. I appreciate the kind words. :) I forgot to check her feet. But her eyes and teeth looked good. But, my youngest son has decided to name her "Figs" and to put her cage in his room, so I think at this point, even if her feet were on backwards, she'd be coming home with us!

Lordy, y'all, I have taken my sweet time getting around to actually getting a rabbit. But I put a deposit on one today, a 4-week-old chocolate English Angora doe being raised by one of my past students who's now a 4-H'er. Because I know you're going to ask about it, here are the pictures...

OK, so my next question, then, is if one is seeking out a super friendly pair, what does one look for in a kit? Or does one look to the parents to tell which way the personality might go? Would a breeder with a good reputation straight up tell you if the parents were sweet or standoffish?

I feel a little funny asking this. I suspect that individual rabbit personalities vary much more than any variation from one breed to the next, but I know all people don't feel that way. So, if rabbit breeds have distinct personalities (or maybe personality tendencies?) what's the Rex...

I mostly cook with the grease, like others above, but twice now I have poured a cup or so of chicken stock into the skillet when the sausage is done, and that kind of lifts the grease out, and then I use the chicken stock/drippings mixture as a start to soups. I've tried it with chicken soup...

Ha! Iggysbabysitter, I can see why you went with the kids' name for you rather than the other mothers'! 6rivers, you live in a pretty part of the world. My husband is an NLU (now ULM) grad, and speaks fondly of his time on the Ouachita River. When we first met, he asked me to try pronouncing it...

I like this thread. Thanks for starting it, Olli. I studied Spanish a lot as a younger person, and growing up in Florida, had many friends with whom to practice it. But it has faded over the years in my mind. I appreciated learning the word for dimple! Grumpy, I liked your fish pictures a...

Pretty! Love that lush American fur.
