I just thought I'd share a surprising success. I'm just getting back into Jumbo Coturnix Quail. 1st 3 hatchings 1. Old incubator 120 deg or off. No hatches 2. OK thermometer. Used refrigerated eggs. Too much humidity during lockdown/hatching (80%+). 30 eggs, 9 hatched, 6 survived 3. I forgot...

I'm thinning down my fluffle to focus more on livestock my husband isn't allergic to. I have 4 proven REW TAMUK NZ breeders 9-12 months old 2 bucks and 2 does for sale. $70 each. And 3 litters 8 weeks - 3 months. All rabbits are WHITE TAMUKs. No composites.

I usually do unlimited pellets until 3 months. Past that, they gain too much fat. I usually wean at 4-5weeks or at least divide the kits. When there are too many together, they don't gain weight as fast. But it probably depends on your breed. I've got TAMUK NZs and they're practically full...

A group of rabbits is called a fluffle, if that helps.

I think I figured out what's going on, based on life experience. All dry goods (grain, pasta, pellets, etc) potentially contain insect eggs (like weevils). If they sit long enough in the right conditions the eggs hatch, and voila, bugs in the food. The bugs and eggs are SO small, you don't...

I've noticed if the rabbits don't eat all of their food and it sits waiting for 2ish days, small (weevil?) bugs appear in the food. There's nothing wrong with the food in the bag/buckets, no sign of bugs at all. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this.

They might be different rabbits. I thought they were the same. I was trying to cheat and not take new pictures. I rescued 100 rabbits in January and it was tricky to keep everyone straight. Here's new pictures.

No. He looks solid black until you see him in the light and realize there are large brown patches intermixed in the black.

Grandfather on both sides was a broken- black spots on white Grandmother on mom's side was broken-brown spots on white Mom is Charlie- almost no black on white Grandmother on dad's side was broken -tuxedo coloring almost all black, white dulap and belly Dad is all black with some brown.

The parents and grandparents of this litter were given to me. I was told they're rex, but clearly they're not 100% because the fur is too long. Neither the parents, nor grandparents of this litter had blue eyes. So I'm trying to figure out if it's just an illusion that they look blue. Thanks...

I have several New Zealand White TAMUK litters. 2 litters kindling this week. 1 litters 5 weeks old. 2 litters 7 weeks old. $40 each I also have some rex crosses (adults and kits). 4 week old New Zealand (with a little Flemish giant mixed in) also available. Just North of Gainesville Florida...

We found wagerers on Amazon that have a bowl as the base but use a bottle. They come with 17 oz bottles which isn't enough, but 33oz smart water bottles fit. In some ways they're a pain to clean, but the rabbits drink more from them than regular bottles and they don't spill like bowls do...

Tractors are nice, but there are just too many parasites in Florida for ir, in my opinion, ticks, fleas, ear mites, worms.... plus wild rabbits here have some diseases I don't want in my herd. I'm glad it works for others though.

Thank you!

My "NZ Red" doe is clearly not 100% NZ, based on color, but especially based on this last litter. I'm certain dad is 100% NZ White TAMUK. I see 3 blacks. I'm not sure what the other 6 are. (The 1 REW in this litter died yesterday or today.)

I realize this thread has been dormant a while, but not too long. It came up in a search, I thought I'd chime in. Where we live in Florida, free-ranging isn't really an option. There are too many parasites and predators. We've done rabbits, chickens, ducks, quail, geese, guinea hens, and...

Mt thought was to keep a buck from a January litter to breed in summer. I've read young bucks don't have as many issues. Then when fall comes, he goes to freezer camp. The Rabbitry Center on YouTube created boxes for their bucks to escape the heat in. It works in MI. Not so sure about in down...

The laws on animal sale ages are set by the states. I know in FL the law says rabbits sold for PETS must be 8 weeks. Rabbits sold for FARMING don't have restrictions on age.

Thank you!
