This may be posted somewhere but I haven't been able to find it so I thought I would just ask. We have tons of dandelions and my husband has been working really hard to get them out of our front yard. I have a huge feed bag full. Has anyone tried to dry them or how could I save them for the...

My only litter of 4 Mini Rex and their momma got out today or maybe even last night. When we got to the barn today we found that she had decided to make her own burrow! Our barn has a dirt floor and she dug a hole/burrow under a set of raised rabbit cages! We caught them (all except for one...

Okay - one step closer to eating our own. My husband's brother came out to visit for a week and the two of them went rabbit hunting with our beagles. He was actually coming out to take one of our girls home with him and they shot two wild rabbits. Since I had already purchased a meat grinder, I...

The first of four bred does had her litter today! Our blue Mini Rex had five babies. She was bred on the 18th of October...is this a little early? Also - though this is a different doe, I am afraid of loosing them like the last litter that my red doe had.

Does sneezing always mean snuffles? We have a couple of our Thriantas sneezing in my barn and now my little polish bunny that I take to and from school has been sneezing. She doesn't even mix with the rabbits in the barn right now so I don't know how she would get it from them. At school I...

Our little red Mini Rex doe just had five baby kits today! We saw her earlier this morning running around with tufts of fur in her mouth and I knew it would be soon - just not this soon! I figured tomorrow morning - but when we came back at 3:00 pm - they had already arrived! Hope to post pics...

Can anyone tell me if it is bad for an opal to have castor and lilac along with opal in the pedigree? :bunnyhop:

Has anyone raised Thriantas as meat rabbits? I know that they won't get as big as New Zealands or Californians with the new breeding stock my daughter got, I am afraid we may have an overabundance of Thriantas soon! Also, we are only trying to stick to two or three breeds and the other two...

Hey - I just thought I would ask...how does one switch over from raising rabbits for 4H show to being able to use them for meat? I don't really have a problem with pigs or chickens (well some piglets we sold to others because we got too close to them :( ) but the bunnies are so cute and I sort...

I purchased a red Mini Rex buck because he looked so nice but now that I have been reading information and posts on genetics, I am wondering if that was such a good idea. I have only two does, a blue and an opal. Should I even attempt to breed him to one of them or will I just get a litter of...

My Senior Mini Rex doe just had her litter and only one was born alive. She had two rather large babies born dead after the first little live one. I could tell she was having trouble. I think this was her first litter and I am wondering if this is normal for a first litter also if not, should...
