    Cub scouts go overnight camping

    This American doe is so large I've had to give her a nest box made out of a cat's litter pan with a bunch of drainage holes drilled in it. (And then I put a resting board over that to help keep everyone dry) Mom loves to rearrange the furniture and toys anyway so she keeps moving the "box" and...

    Bunny Bran goes to the Fair

    Today at the State Fair, life was almost too exciting. I got up at 5:30, walked over to Pat's and stirred up a single batch of Branola, popped it in the oven and went home to feed rabbits. By the time I got back to Pat's garage, it was time to stir and staple business cards to the snack-sized...

    plantain seed ?

    I want to save some plantain seed to add to my fodder this winter. I keep looking at the seed stems and wondering if they are mature enough to harvest....vs, are my neighbors about to mow them off. I'm sure the flowers have to die back and the seeds have to plump up....but beyond that, how...

    Mom gets a break.....

    I gathered some fresh dandelion greens before heading out to the shed this morning. Flake was first, and I was generous--she's got at least five F2 kits in the box. The bucks got about 6-8 leaves a piece. I threw a BUNCH in to Danika--she's got 6 with open eyes bugging the heck out of her...

    Pleasant surprise....

    I've had American Blues for several years now, raised a few litters,but mostly just gathering the breeding stock from around the country. AmB's are a heritage meat breed that was almost lost after WW2 because of the white meat rabbit explosion. (They were called "Vienna Blue" prior to WW2 and...

    Rabbitosis revisited

    I was at a rabbit show last weekend, selling Bunny Bran (http://www.bunny-bran.com) and the people beside me were SERIOUS show people...really competative and not having much fun. One of the Netherland Dwarves they had was getting a long look-over. Great type! Perfect type! Wonderful color...

    supporting tiers of cages--cheap

    I don't have a lot of room in my shed. And Hubs has nixed the idea of another shed, so I've had to get inventive on cramming cages into the shed I have...I needed three tiers of cages....(want? Need?) I love my cage builder. He cut himself out of a couple hundred dollars that I would have...

    Dead rabbit, not playing

    Sadly last night, I came home to a very still angora buck. I'd put ice in front of the big fan in the morning. It had all melted by the time i did my evening check. He hadn't been gone long as he was still quite flexible and his eyes were still bright. I had an irrational idea that he was not...

    Dog Gone

    This morning "at first pee" I held the door for the dogs, waiting for Gretchen to come back in. After a few minutes, holding the door and calling I went back to bed, deciding she could "just stay out there, then." When I got up "for real" a few hours later and let the three other dogs out for...

    tiny kits hit the grass

    I have a dog's X-Pen that I dismantled and put back together with the panels end to end, so that it is 24" high and about 16 ft. circumference, rather than the original 4 ft high and 8 ft circumference. I wanted to do a movie of the kits on grass, so took my nest box full of 14 day old kits...

    Primitive Rabbit skin blanket directions.

    http://www.primitiveways.com/rabbit_skin_blanket.html This method of making a blanket uses strips of rabbit hide corded together, rather than just sewing pelts. It looks much more durable, as cordage rather than the rabbit skin gives the strength.

    IACC strikes again....

    I work third shift and stopped at the grocery to get bananas and kale for the buns, ironically enough. I say ironically, because when I pulled up to my house, the Animal control van was waiting. They'd had an anonymous tip that I was neglecting my rabbits....I could barely talk. All my worst...

    information and cooperative web site

    http://rabbitedsociety.webs.com/ this site de-bunks many rumours and myths spread by various recue societies, such as the over-population of rabbits, and stresses that the irresponsability of pet owners in rabbit abandonment is more accurate description than "irresponsible breeders".... I read...

    Stuck Up Rabbit gets a name.

    This poor Jr. Buck has been "black buck" since the day I first peeked at everyone's privates....Others of the litter have gone cross-country, but this little BB is still at my house, even though he was "pick of the litter" (word, so much for holding a rabbit for anyone ever again.) He's pretty...
