Giving them lots of hidey holes sounds like fun. We worked all day yesterday on getting the shed ready to move. Hubby had to jack it up and make a wooden frame to go all around the bottom of it. Today it will be making the journey to it's new location. We're going to put in windows and a...

Somebody else mentioned an aneurism as well . . . . Her sister hasn't had any more seizures, that I know of, since May. Actually - I don't think she's had any since she got pregnant in April. I think you're correct about it being genetic, though.

Thank you so much for your post, Tinysmom. It makes me feel so good to hear how well it worked, and also that you were able to have so many in that space. You've really eased my mind about trying it. That's CRAZY that animal control thinks it's better to separate them all into cages! I...

I'm feeling a lot better about things today. I got the woodshed that the rabbits are currently in temporarily "rabbit proofed" and I've been opening up the cages one at a time to let the rabbits get out and run around in there. Surprisingly, they really do seem to be quite content to stay in...

Sorry about the baby.

They're so adorable! What an awesome surprise. Dottie's beautiful.

Thanks, Tonyshuman!

The binkies are just the sweetest thing! It's like watching joy!

Congratulations on your BEAUTIFUL bunnies!

Emily, I never even thought about fires . . . it is a metal building. I was giving some thought to heating it, just enough so their water doesn't freeze - now I have a whole bunch of stuff to think about. Thanks a LOT! ;) I never thought about gravel, either - maybe the little round gravel...

Thanks for the answers! Maybe I can do it a little different until all the rabbits I have are ones who have grown up together. 6 of the bunnies grew up together (4 does and 2 bucks). They're 4 1/2 months old now but were separated into different cages at 8 weeks. They still seem OK...

Bramblerose wrote I finally got to see binkies today. I put several of the rabbits out to play (no boys and girls together) and one was so happy. I was doing these cute little joyful jumps - twisting his bottom back and forth in the air. It's really adorable.

Here's an explanation and diagram. I don't know where the thread with pics is. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=18+1803&aid=2694 I just sexed mine fairly easily - there's just one rabbit I'm a little iffy about. It would be nice to have actual photographs. But - it was still pretty...

I checked it again today and it's looking like a female - but I didn't look for the little bald patches. I'll look again.

Are the females prone to fighting at all? I put two of my males out to play today in the chicken yard and they didn't fight at all. They're brothers - don't know if that matters. I was afraid to put the older buck out with them. Am I right in assuming that, if their sleeping area is dark and...
