    Keeping rabbits in garage

    I’ve been also worried about the safety of my buns with the way things are going economically. We are getting a shed/barn style 10x12 delivered next week so can bring mine into there. It has a window, and two vents on the barn ceiling- also it’s a double door so I’ll be able to open the whole...

    Outdoor enclosure

    Depends on the size of your full grown new zealand’s. Ours definitely couldn’t fit through but they have really reached their full adult weights after 8 months. My fear would be more of what else can fit through a chain link fence to get into your rabbits or what can simply climb it. We have had...

    Bunny shed or Barn?!

    I’ve been housing my rabbits outside in metal cages in their hutches however we are only into winter a few weeks here and the plastic we have stapled down to their hutches and have clipped to their fronts for in and out access is already bothersome. The snow and wind pile up and flap it around...

    How much do you pay for feed? --per mods: NO POLITICS IN THIS THREAD.

    I’m so upset to be switching from Heinold 17/17 😭 it’s 18.99$ a bag but all of our local Mounds Pets foods ( 5 locations with in a two hour drive ) have been out for several weeks now. I’m starting to convert them to Nutrina 18% 16$-19$ depending on where I purchase it, but I’m thinking that...

    Disappointing mother rabbit. What should I do?

    So that’s what I originally asked though- how did you know the young kit that died had gas?? I thought kits only get gas’s when they transition from nursing to eating solid foods

    So the mothers are ok with fur not from themselves? I wondered about them attacking and or eating their kits if I used fur from another doe

    Disappointing mother rabbit. What should I do?

    I’m sorry you lost them! I didn’t think gas was an issue with kits until they started transitioning to a solid foods. How did you know they had gas in their bellies?

    Removing Newborn Kits at Night

    What are you using for fur replacements if mama isn’t pulling fur or when you clean the boxes there isn’t enough clean fur to transfer to clean boxes? Since they are in a barn I’m sure that there is a great advantage! Mine are out in hutches but we need to transition from tarps for summer...

    Forage-only diet; what if I exclude grain completely from my rabbits' diet?

    I just purchased a book that is solely based on this! It’s a preorder but she’s sending them out 10/1. Whenever I see these topics I like to let others know about it she recently shared some of it on her YouTube and I’m pretty excited about it. Here’s the links YouTube Book

    How did you decide to have rabbits?

    I had a Rex named Bugs (bugs bunny of course ) as a kid living in a tiny apartment in the middle of the city- he was potty trained and super sweet. Fast forward 30 years and now living on a homestead in the country with a family of 8 during this crazy economic stuff it was one of the top...

    Do Rex rabbits survive cold winters?

    While i no longer have a Rex, it wasn’t one of my top breeds for cold hearty winters. I live in WI ( with it actually getting colder than Alaska these past few years thanks to polar vortexes!) but the top two breeds that continued to show up throughout research are Silver Fox and New Zealand’s...

    Super mix- added supplements?

    So I was watching a vlog the other day and a women mentioned all the benefits of adding 1/2 table spoon of what she calls her “Super mix”. It had Barely, flaxseed, rolled oats, raw unsalted pumpkin seeds and black oil sunflower seeds all mixed together. After trying to gather all this stuff I...
