If my doe does not feed who if anyone has had success bottle feeding from day one? I feel I should be prepared this time in case. Last time she had no milk. This time I'm feeding nettles and raspberry leaves.

Any other single gals out there ever think to yourselves: Wish I had a husband to cull my rabbits. Of course, I would do the rest but sure would be sweet to have someone else do the bop and bleed. But then you have to feed him so??? LOL:unsure:;)

this is day 3 and i can't get her to feed the remaining 3. is it possible her milk never came in? if she doesn't feed the last 3 now they are all goners. she licks them and she went to the back of the hay and cried earlier. when she had the 6 2 were big and born dead. I put the 4 in the...

OK as always, I'm getting a little nervous. Babies coming next week to a good doe mother. It is going to be cold at night, around 30. The box is lined with hay, she pulls fur and seems to take pretty good care of them in the past but she has also had some on the cage but that was summer. I...

We are through the worst of our winter. Hold on, spring flowers are coming in 2 months.

I used to keep my rabbit manure cleaned up daily. I finally realized that if I just let it build up under the hutch it will feed the chickens. It is dead winter now so the smell is none and the hay gives me some traction on the ice. Come summer I'm not sure I can stand leaving it all but will...

Just bought MicrocynAH Eye & Ear Wash on Amazon. Not delivering until Dec-Jan. Just a heads up for those who use it and buy on Amazon. I use it for bunnies eyes when it looks a little infected or puffy. Works great and quickly. I see this happen when they pee on each other's faces. Gaaaaaa.

I love my friends when they stop in to say hello. My rabbits don't care for them. I hate to sush people so I'm looking for a sign of some sort.

Lulu had two kits around 2pm, it's now 4pm. In your experience have you had does that will have more later? I know this happens but is it the norm to spread out the births? This is kindle number 4 for her. Her number of kits have gone down each time.

With the humidity we have mixed with 90s and possibly no breeze today I'm putting 4 babies and 2 adults in cages in my basement today. Yesterday we had a very nice wind but today maybe not. I took some advice from here and rebred my doe after 2 weeks since she only had 4. Looks like they will...

3rd pregnancy for this doe. she is a rex/nz. she didn't have any problems the first two times. 32 days seems like a long time. Last time she went 31 days. This is normal, right?

My California buck likes to run thru the tall grass. Second time I've seen a small black speck on his eyelid. Darn seed ticks. Luckily he's a good boy and sits still while I pull it off with tweezers. They look like a speck of dirt.

Just put a fairly fresh dispatch in a sugar, salt, thyme and rosemary brine. Going to smoke it tomorrow after adding a garlic/thyme rub. I'll let ya know. Have to use my weber grill and am smoke it whole. If I get tired of feeding the coals I'll finish it in the crock pot. Let ya know.

I have 6 week old bunnies ready to go. Is this a safe age to deliver to the new home? Any ideas for a successful transfer? I

I'm in Central Illinois and have 6 week olds ready to go. Father is registered and tattooed California white and doe is NZ/Rex cross. Great babies. Healthy. You could process at 10 weeks if you wanted.

ever feel bad cause you didn't have time to let your bunns run and they look at you like why? tomorrow.

I have outdoor hutches. My doe kindled Tuesday and last nite it went down to around 18 F. This morning they are nestled in their nesting box with fur, hay and they are fine. I did block the wind and was worried but all seem fine. I won't worry again unless I see extreme cold.

My doe is 10 days pregnant. Today she grunted at me because I didn't get her greens to her fast enough, hay and pellets is not what she wanted evidently. Later I let her out and she went to her hole and started working. The buck came over to watch and she ran him off rather aggressively...

All my rabbits have a box in their wire bottomed outdoor hutches. The boxes I just made have no bottom and I just set them on the wire bottom of the cage. I'm doing this to see if they pee or poop in them before I put a bottom in or bed them with hay and straw. My question is: will they get...

I have been wondering what medicine do I keep on hand just in case I should see an eye infection. Sorry, don't remember what you call that. My pens are well maintained but I suppose it could happen.
