I dried the leaves of our sunflowers. Every few days I took 2 to 3 leaves off them with my daily garden walk. In the hot days, end of juli and august, they dried really fast and I could feed them this winter. It is a treat for them. Did the same with my calendula btw. Flowers and seed are much...

Hi, lovely to hear from you! Yes, I found your post about that and I've marked it in my mind! My belgium blue doe has 11 kits and all get feeding, but two or three are a bit smaller. All look very healthy, full and warm so I will not interfere. But is they do stay behind- I will follow this...

Although I seperated them yesterday morning, I saw that the older kits did found their way back with the newborn in the evening. I did not seperate again, went to bed a bit concerned because they had not been fed and wrinkles were showing on those newborns. I decided to wait till the next...

Thank you ladysown! We had our first taste of it yesterday. The little ones all love rabbits to pet, but now also to eat. 😀 looking forward to learn a lot more from all of you here!

Thanks, very interesting. New Zealanders are quite rare over here and red is the only color I could find. Love the color though. Thanks for your positive reassurance! :)

Hello, We are a dutch family living in Germany We were given pet rabbits a few years ago, my husband and son cared for them completly, I just ordered food. I did not care and when they died (they were quite old) I was certain- no more rabbits. But then I heard about meat rabbits and since we...

Thank you so much! I will see how this is working. Since their nestingbox is a carbon box, I put it in a slightly bigger box and cut out a spare so the doe can enter but the bigger kits cannot. My preference is to keep them togehter as I already have another doe seperate who became very...

Thanks for your quick reply. I checked. The newborns are almost 24h old. They do not look wrinkled now, but no full, round belly as well. I will make a divider and put the bigger kits in their own nests.

Hi there! So my red NZ has three kits, born 6th January. Her sister kindled yesterday. She build her nest in the same hutch as her sister did. For now, the NZ are on my balcony (the buck and other doe are in the garden, they all long for springtime- than we'll build a bigger colony) The three...

Ouch, we waited whole three months on our first litter. Only three kits. But well. Have you ever heard of the kindling totes from Bobby from the Rabbitry Center on youtube? They look amazing and it s totally working out for him. Ps. Do your rabbits ans quail ever share the same space? When yes...

Great job! Really nice to see!

So sorry to read this... this is one of the most important reasons I want a roof/cover above the tunnels. Shade in summer, dry in winter. I am trying to find the right laws applying to my colony. That is, tonight - after I have brought my five little ones to bed.

Thank you all! Honestly, I had no idea how lovely you all gave your opinions/tips/advise! So thank you! As what the laws consider- I have not read it thoroughly for my German-reading is not fully developed. (They can make really long sentences!) The soil drains quite well here. Our plan was/is...

Hi there, We started our small colony and want to build a bigger colony as we want more does- We live in Germany and there are some laws about rainwater and roofs.. you pay taxes for the amount of rain that passes your roof. Something like that. So we have a bit of problem making a roof on our...
