Noticed your comment about hide boxes. I'm assuming you mean boxes to hide in while there is no nest box in the cage? I designed the nestboxes so that the bottom is removable with the idea it could be a hide/house with no cleaning for the kits & for the moms when they don't have kits. Harvey...

I don't know how big your rabbits are - Mine are about 2 feet long when laying down (not stretched out) Those are 1" squares. I don't think you would lose a litter with a smaller nest box. Unless it was too small for her to feed them, but then it would have been too small for her to fit into...

Here is some info from the boxes I just built. The nursery cages are 28"x43". My rabbits weigh 13+ lbs and are 20" long when they are just sitting there. If they lay out they can be over 30" long. I built boxes that are 14"x 24" and they LOVE them. I wanted to make boxes that go across the...

I made litter boxes of wooden frames with hardware cloth bottoms the pee goes right through the poop piles up. They're wood framed so the rabbits don't seem to throw them around. They do lay in them though which is why I quit using them. I have a small operation so I would just dump them out...

Hi All! Wasn't sure where to post this. I have a website where I have my rabbits listed. In a previous discussion here on Rabbittalk, some expressed interest in me putting up a page with everyone's websites or contact info & hopefully drive some sales or interest your way.. I am not...

What a cutie! Looks like a cartoon rabbit! Love the harness. Do you have a recommendation for one? I keep thinking I can sew my own, but I never do. Right now, the only rabbit I would try it with is on the injured reserve, hopefully not the permanently disabled list. I would love to be able to...

I don't think domestic rabbits are as fragile as wild rabbits. Mine live full-time in cages outside, but they LOVE attention. I often take them out to the yard to get some freedom by turns (can't bring more than one unfortunately because they fight LOL) They have no sense of self-preservation...

I tried emailing the addy you gave me & it came back undeliverable. Must have a typo. The question was - do you want your email on the listing or just your website url? Let me know, your listing is live - I"m going to be listing rabbitries by state. Liz

If your dogs constantly bark, that might be the problem. My rabbits are quite used to dogs & even sit near them when they are in their play area. Not afraid at all! BUT if the dogs come into the rabbitry while I'm handling the rabbits or the kits, they freak out. Since your doe was relatively...

Cat litter boxes make great nest boxes - I've had 10+ lb rabbits use them with no problems. In the winter I hang a towel scrap over the opening, so it stays warmer. Now I have very large, closed boxes, so should be nicer for them. I lost 4 kits last time from them falling out of the regular...

Ok, I have the sign-up page for the rabbitry listings. Let me know if you think of anything that should be added. This is just to sign up, the listing page will appear different, obviously LOL https://wackypup.com/breeders.html Liz

Thank you for such an uplifting response! It's nice to know that my 'ahem' frugal ideas are appreciated. I have seen people spend a ton of money to get set up and you really don't have to. And THANK YOU for ideas on where to find some more containers. I asked at Sam's club & they 'sold' me an...

Ok, I was able to get a referral link for the domain registrar - they are very good, as I mentioned I have used them for YEARS. I used to have a website for my paintings/portraits, but now I only have a personal one for my rabbits. Well, there are still links to some of my paintings, but mostly...

Yes I did! I have used them for probably 25 years maybe 35 years lol they used to be 1 and 1 If everyone who is interested would please hang on I may be able to get a finder's fee if I get a link from them which would be greatly appreciated. It wouldn't cost you anymore and usually you get a...

Oh! LOL I did not realize you were trying to sell rabbit websites LOL I thought you set up a website for people to share their rabbits on. So sorry I can delete my post if you want. I'm just all about trying to get everyone started successfully raising their own protein. I got a chance to look...

I am glad you are making a website. I refuse to support Facebook and provide Zuckerberg with more money. He sells all your info as well as your private messaging between other members. Just in case you weren't aware of that. When he started censoring scientific debate that was the last straw for...

Oh forgot to specify. I give fenbendazole orally, and ivermectin I drop on the back of their necks. I try to drop it directly on their skin. I usually give a drop or two extra.

If you are able to get the liquid fenbendazole for goats, the dose is one drop per 2 lb pretty much the same as the liquid 1% ivermectin dosage. BTW I found the fatal dosage for ivermectin LOL it's 250 times recommended dose. So pretty much you can give a an 8 lb rabbit a dose for 2000 lbs and...

Thanks for putting such thought into answering my query! I've made acorn bread (multiple soaks to remove tannins) it makes total sense! I do tend to let my rabbits figure things out, but didn't want to risk it with nest boxes. Also didn't want to do all the work to build from culled oak boards...

I have some kiln dried oak boards that would be handy to use for the nest boxes I need to build. I've seen that fresh oak is not suitable to feed to rabbits because of the high tannin level. Kiln dried should not have high tannin levels ... ? Any thoughts on this? I could line the corners &...
