Holding off for now. :)

[Willow's_Dream]

I am gonna hold off for a while to see if its hay or rabbits.








I am selling out my complete rabbitry.. rabbits/cages/supplies. I have suffered for a month with allergies.. and I am seriously thinking it is the rabbits, so they got to go.

I have:
4 Pedigreed tans ( bred them all this morning )
2 Netherland Dwarfs (female is due the 30th)
3 Lionheads (pedigreed, but not yet old enough to breed)
4 Adult Mini Rex's (NON pedigreed), 2 bucks/2 does. One doe has babies on her, but they are just about old enough to leave, and three are spoken for.. so she will come with 2 babies, and she is bred back.... the other doe has one baby (first time mom) and it is chocolate.
3 Adult Holland Lops (mom/dad and 4 babies, that are a week old) NON PEDIGREED and one 7 month old PEDIGREED buck
1 Jersey Wooly buck (PROVEN) NON PEDIDGREEd
1 F1 Lionhead baby ( that the Mini Rex is raising) NOT related to any of my others

I have 1- 12' 4 hole cage with drop down nest boxes, 2-6' 2 hole cages with drop down nestboxs; 1 12' 4 hole cage (without nestboxes); several smaller cages. NOTHING FANCY, but can be painted with non toxic paint to be made to look better.

$500 for everything. I am located in Northeast Arkansas... so you will need a way to pick them up.

Everything (rabbits) is on my website:

So sorry you are selling out Willow. Allergies can be nasty.

 

[Willow's_Dream]

thank you.. I HATE to sell them... I love my bunnies.... but I am the only one that takes care of them....and I have never dealt with allergies before and they have me messed up right now...lol.

Ugh, I wish you were closer, or I could arrange transport, I'd love to get those LH does from you!

 

[Willow's_Dream]

I love my Lionheads.. wish you were closer too.. I am going to miss them when they are gone.

So sorry to hear this Willow. It sounds like you have a nice little herd going there.

Do you feed hay? It is possible that you are allergic to that, and not the rabbits.

Although I believe hay to be of crucial importance for good gut motility, zillions of rabbits are fed pellets only and do fine. You could also dry other (non-grass) weeds and greens for them, or perhaps try another type of hay.

 

[Willow's_Dream]

I never even considered the hay.... yes They get hay daily... All I know is SOMETHING is driving me crazy...lol. I have never dealt with allergies in my life, now all of a sudden they are bothering me. It very well could be the hay. Thank you.

 

[MamaSheepdog]

You're welcome.

I hope it is that and not the rabbits. :clover:

Straw is another option to feed- it doesn't provide much in the way of nutrients, but the fiber is still good for them.

Here's hoping it's the hay! :clover:

"Hay fever" is a real allergy... chances are, your rabbits can get by without it, and you could possibly provide extra fiber another way.

Maybe a good cleaning and far removal of the hay (and sufficient time for you to recover) would tell.

Ooohhh. One of my buyers was allergic to hay but not the bun. They used hay cubes instead of actual hay, and those didn't aggravate the allergies. Fingers crossed!

 

[ladysown]

i know more than one rabbit person allergic to hay and one does hay cubes, the other just avoids it completely. Rabbits in both herds do just fine.

 

[Willow's_Dream]

THANK YOU all!!! I will give that a try.... I dont want to sell out.. I love getting out and messing with them, and I think I have some nice buns to work with. I will give the hay cubes a try and see. I know I have got to do something. I SO appreciate all the advice

Let us know how it works out . Otherwise, you can always mail the lionhead does to me

Thank you... I will. I hope that's all it is... is the hay... and sure, I can mail those Lionheads right out to you. . They are pretty things though, if I do say so myself.

>.> I actually started having allergies when I got my bunnies to. i was totally confused since I had a rabbit as a child and was fine. Took noticing one of my rabbits was allergic to hay and then have someone point out the dog was allergic to the hay for me to realize it was the hay effecting me >.> I can be slow at times. I'm lucky though..its just a skin allergy so I just scrub my arms after I feed them all.
