Koi's current enclosure I made independently and is just 1" X 2" held together with stapled and prayers, wrapped in wire. I was very determined to do this project on my own, and it shows. Now that I have more expiriance building, I jwant to make it a bit more solid and maybe add a lid that is...

I meant cyanide, I always get the two words mixed up. I am not looking for it to be part of their diet just something they can chew on for tooth health/boredom.

I have done quite a bit of trimming around the property and have some old (dead, dry, but not infested) Italian plum tree limbs. I'm trying to figure out if this would be safe for the rabbits to chew on, but I'm finding mixed results. Most of the people saying no have ever actually tried it...

Because it is not a recognized breed (it's still classified as just mixed/meat mutt I believe), there most likely is not a association or official club. It does look like there is a face book page though https://www.facebook.com/groups/tamukrabbits/ I don't have face book so I haven't looked at...

I recently acquired a young creme d'argent doe at our county fair. I have no intention of breeding cremes for competition, I just wanted a new a doe for meat. I am curious what colors I may get if I breed the creme to one of out Californians. Our calis have been pure for at least 20 generations...

I have seen some people use hay cubes instead of loose hay, not sure if it would actually be cheaper in the long run though. Hay feeders can also help (easy to make out of 1" X 2" wire as well), but wont eliminate waist. Personally, I just don't feed hay (not often at least.) Very...

Seven had a litter of 9 on 5/28. She is an amazing mom, takes great care of the kits, has good sized litters (her first litter was 12, and 10 survived), makes amazing nests, but refuses to use the nest box every time :| To remedy this we line the cage bottom and about three inches up the walls...

Maybe I'm just out of practice and not remembering how big kits get, but this guy just seems truly massive. The dam is 25% Californian and 75% rex, the sire is 100% rex. The parents and there lineage all range in the 8-10 pound range. This guy was born on day 33 of the pregnancy, on May 8th...

I'm still new-ish to genetics, but I think you would get tri colors of some sort, let someone else fact check this before taking it to heart. This is what I understand. Tri color is just the harlequin pattern genes with the added broken gene. "magpie" harlequin is caused by harlequin and...

Yesterday morning dahlia finally started pulling fur (on day 33). I had to leave for school so wasn't able to stick around to keep an eye on her, but luckily my dad was home. She had a pink kit early in the day (around 10:00), and a black kit later on. Mama is very protective, I didn't expect...

The "plush lop" specifically is supposed to look like Holland Lops with Rex coats, this is most often achieved by crossing Mini Rex and Holland Lop lines. This breed is not in the ARBA standard or working standard. The "valentine lop" is supposed to look like an English Lop with Rex fur, this...

He may be "litter training" himself. Rabbits like to be clean and often pick one corner or one specific spot to go to the bath room in, because of this are relatively easy to "litter train" (I say that loosely as you are really just finding their preferred corner and putting a litter tray in...

These are the two that I have already bred. Here is a slightly better picture of Dahlia's color is anyone wants to take a Crack at guessing. I know I had very pure californian lines/genes on herothers side, but I'm not sure about her dads side. I know he is a tri and that the breeder was using...

I love having Koi inside when I study ether on my bed to hang out or hopping around my room.

It is best not to bath rabbits, at least not in the same way you would a dog. It's really bad for their fur and can, in mostly very untamed rabbits, cause shock. You should find the source of the staining and eliminate that. Is his cage dirty? Is he spraying, if so is he close to a female? Is he...

Some of you may know that the we have been having a lot of trouble with breeding for quite some time, in fact, we have not had a littler sense 06/07/22. This is due to a few reasons, mainly being mystery STDs in the herd (which we have finally seemed to get rid of), and some personal...

Handle them for 30 minutes a day everyday at least. You should also try and and give them pen time where sit/lay in the pen with them without touching/grabbing them, maybe hand feed them treats as well., this will help them see you as less of a threat. Because they are pray animals grabbing them...

Plastic Door Guards are what you are describing. If the rabbits are given ample space, wood chews, and enough food most should not chew on the door guards. Keep in mind, some may still have an acquired taste for plastic no mater what you do. Other options would be to use an grinding wheel to...

Possible Cause: My theory in what happens is that she had an injury to her leg first, this then led the favoritisms of one leg and too much pressure on the other causing the sore hock. Sitting crooked could also make he pee stream hit the wrong spot/her leg. She was probably laying down, rubbing...

You can’t usually see colors until they are a few days old (unless your are breeding like pure blacks or something), I believe that is why he said 40.
