Most auto-watering systems don't work because they are not pressurized, so they don't work with most valves. The Nivek valves are not made threaded, and they are also a brass that the rabbits will destroy in a year or two. After 100 rabbits, none of my Polish rabbits will use any lick valves. I...

Coming to this thread late. My rabbits are housed in individual cages that I build. Some of the does are bonded companions and there may be 2 to a cage in those cases. My rabbits love the spring grass and dandelions. They love clover any time of the year. They hate comfrey. Salad greens are...

In my rabbitry, I supply clean cardboard all the time. This gives the polish rabbits something do dig at, chew on, and generally tear up. They need something to get their emotions out on. If they don't have something constructive to do like cardboard destruction, they may have nowhere else to...

As far as I can tell, shows are done because of the governmental hysterical reactions combined with the real risks of RHD. In one of the last two ARBA mags there was an article that talked about the challenges they are facing about trying to get shows together. It is expensive to get a venue...

Hi all, I have an EZTatt and have had nothing but failure with it. I have been trying to diagnose where the source of the problem is. The pen seems to operate where the needles come out far enough and the needles do go back and forth. I tried diluting the ink per instructions which was a...

Greetings from all the polish aristocrats at Aristocrats of Wisconsin rabbitry. All the aristocrats are in good health. I joined the forum to get advice on tanning, hide finishing, and tattoos. I have not been keeping up with the status of shows since the big snows of January. I know a lot of...

I realize this is a bit of an old thread, but this is a current topic/problem I am trying to overcome. I harvest excess bucks for meat and hide. I want to respect the animal, so I am doing my best to do everything properly and humanely. I think I have gotten good at humane dispatching and...
