    Sick buck

    My main Rex buck, the one I had posted about having what I thought were yucky scent glands is in bad shape. Yesterday he was very weak and lethargic. He barely ate his pellets, which I had to get a small bag of different feed because TSC was out of my usual feed and I was completely out. They...

    Impacted scent glands??

    My Rex buck, Lee, has had some issues with poor coat, weight loss, lack of appetite, which I guessed was mainly due to how hot it has been here. Nobody is exactly going crazy on feed lately. But yesterday evening I pulled him out and was trying to get some tufts of hair out and flipped him over...

    How old is too old to breed?

    I have a Rex doe who has only had one litter in the year I have had her, and she came to me already bred. I got her last March and she will be 3 on April 21. The first litter she had for me, she pulled a ton of fur, made a great nest, had them in the box, raised a lovely litter of 6. After that...

    Going to have to switch rabbit feed :(

    So Orschelns sold out to TSC and our store became a Buchheit's. I just found out yesterday that the feed I have been using for the past year will not be carried by Buchheit and they are also switching brands for horse feed, chicken feed, etc so I am going to stop shopping there. My rabbits don't...

    3 week old kits randomly dying

    I have two litters that are the same age. One is a purebred New Zealand litter and the other is a New Zealand crossed with a Flemish Giant litter. In the mixed litter, I lost 2 when they were 2 weeks old. I lost another a few days ago and then another yesterday. 1 was found dead with hay in it's...

I need to be able to use it on my website, social media, business cards, etc. If you can do something like that please message me. I'm wanting one with a blue Rex, a light grey Flemish Giant, and a...

    Are these normal bucks, or split penis?

    I got a trio of siblings from a breeder. I was supposed to have 2 does and a buck. When I picked them up she said one doe they were going back and forth on trying to decide if she was a doe or actually a buck. The other doe I was going to tattoo them and checked genders and wasn't sure. I pulled...

    Unexpected color in the nestbox...steel or something else??

    The doe is white New Zealand, buck is a light grey Flemish Giant with only white and light grey in his pedigree. The babies are white and this color. Steel?? In the past when I bred white New Zealands to my light grey Flemish I would get white and light grey so this was unexpected lol.

    Growing a medicinal herb garden for rabbits

    I am thinking of buying seeds and trying to grow a little garden of sorts for the rabbits. I'm thinking plantain, dandelion, Echinacea, Chamomile, Lemon Balm so far. I have space down by the barn but it will have to be fenced off to keep the horses out and I don't know if that part would be...

    Conditioning for Show

    I know rabbits must meet certain weight requirements but points are taken off for being too flabby, or too lean. I feed 16% alfalfa based pellets and it's a good quality feed. I also normally feed timothy hay, but sometimes they just get bermuda hay that my horses get. So for rabbits a bit under...

    Show Necessities

    We are new to showing. I want to do more showing and maybe, possibly go to the big ARBA Convention in Louisville. What do we need to bring to the show so we don't stick out like the newbies we are? LOL. I have a local guy who is supposed to be building wire carriers and I will order two larger...

    New Zealand color crossing rules

    I have recently bought a trio of non pedigreed white NZ. I also have 2 junior blue NZ does and their full brother. They do have a pedigree. I found a senior blue NZ buck, pedigreed that I could breed to the blue does but since it will be a while before they are ready to breed, can I breed the...

    Went from 7 rabbits to 14

    I think the last time I actually posted about my rabbits I only had 7 breeders. I have since bought a Giant Chinchilla doe, a white pedigreed Flemish doe to go with my light grey buck, a trio of white New Zealands and a trio of 3 blue New Zealands that are siblings. I have a broken Chocolate Rex...

    Parents being sued. No idea what to do now

    To make a really long story short, in 2020, my dad had surgery to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm repaired and during recovery he had a major stroke that left him completely blind and unable to use his left side. In 2021 my mom quit working because she just couldn't physically do it anymore...

    Great Dane puppies

    Friday, September 9 was a busy day for me. Our Great Dane appeared to be in stage 1 labor and it had started Wednesday night. Thursday night I kept checking on her so didn't get much sleep at all, then Friday morning as soon as the vet opened I took her in. Things just didn't feel right and I...

    Nigerian Dwarf goats

    I have the opportunity to buy a young doe and buck for a very good price I think. $150 for the buck and $100 for the doe. Hubby is thinking they can stay in the rabbit barn until we build them a goat pen. Our perimeter fence is only barbed wire and will not hold a goat. He thinks it would be a...

    Chewy rabbit...what did I do wrong?

    Ok, so today I finally fried up two rabbits. I dipped in egg and milk mixture, then rolled in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and cajun spices. Fried in the skillet. The texture was chewy. The taste was pretty good but the texture threw me off. Was it overcooked? Any other good ways to cook...

    Showing at the County Fair?

    I have only ever shown at an ARBA show one time but I'm thinking about doing the county fair this year. I'm sure each fair is different but has anyone shown in their fair and how do they do it? I'm mainly concerned about someone just stealing a rabbit, or some kid feeding a rabbit a corn dog or...
