I give it to them daily as well as my dog and I dust him with it instead of using stuff like frontline. Back to rabbits, I mix my food up in a bucket like a lowes or home depot 5 gallon bucket and put 1 cup of DE and mix it really well with my hands. (If you have sensitive skin, wear...

you could try using DE or Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. It is natural and I actually feed my rabbits it (dusted over their pellets) as a dewormer and fly deterrent. It kills bugs naturally by cuting into them. You can dust the rabbits with it. Lots of great info here and you can get it at your...

from the pic the buck appears to be a Tri'd castor...I have a few of them in my Tri program. They are needed to make sure the tri I breed are agoutis and not a "self" tri aka a torted tri. You will get black and castor (bkn and solid) and quite poss. if your doe carries tort, torted tri or...

They look like smutty reds to me, they are agouti marked from what I can see in the pics. :)

Do you have them in a nestbox? One of my does can get angry at me whenever I check on her babies so I just pull the nestbox completely out when I check on them.After I put them back, Mama will stick her head in and sniff them and then go about her business as usual. :) Dont worry about the...

First how long ago did she have the babies? If its less than 24 hours, her milk probably hasn't come in yet. Check to make sure the other doe is not lactating just to make sure. Now depending on what breed of rabbit she is, 7 months is the normal age for Dwarf and small rabbits to have their...

make sure the nose marking is on both sides though, its does not have to be a full butterfy but it must have some color on both wiskerbeds. Also look for balanced patterns and even color (no alot of black or orange on one side and not the other), and the colors not bleeding into eachother. I...

Looks like black/orange harelquin and no Harlequin Mini Rex are not showable but the broken version, Tri colors are. :)

This is awesome! I am going to pm you :D

Tri colors all the way, esp. choc/org which is the only color I dont have at the moment. Plus I love the challenge of breeding them. Next would be black otters and then BEW. :D

They both seem to be taking well to the new arrangement. Thanks again for the suggestion. :)
