I'm from Lansdowne (very Rural) and about 3 1/2 hours east of Toronto. I may be interested in getting together with a group of bunny lovers this summer. Please keep me posted :)

Hello. I have been researching Flemish breeders in Ontario and have found 2 that I'm impressed with. The problem is thay are both 4 hours away from me. I live between Kingston and Ottawa. Now, I have found a few breeders in NY state; but I am not sure about border restrictions. If anyone out...

I'm in the process of reserving a flemmy. I do have Lionheads, but have always wanted a FG. The breeder I'm buying from is 4 hours away, but comes very highly recommended. I'm looking for show quality with pedigree and there's noyone in my immediate area that breeds them :( I love the lt. grey...

Goodness; $100/month??? I buy my timothy hay by the bale ($3) and it lasts my 4 Lionheads a little over a month. Next, I buy their pellets at the feed store (cost is $14 for 60 lbs) which lasts about 3 months. As far as veggies/fruits; I grow as much as possible and in the winter I have the...

Great idea! I could "scoop" the litterboxes when I refresh their hay. Thanks:):big wink:

I currently have 4 Lionheads and 2 litterboxes. Rabbit droppings are very high in nitrogen so I have a bin outside that I dump the litterbox "contents" into-and voila! In the spring, I have wonderful fertilizer for my gardens. Of course, I only use wood pellets, hay (which I pick out before...

Icarus; your Harli is gorgeous!!!! I love that white nose:D My buck AND both my does threw vienna. I honestly had no idea because the breeder didn't make me aware of it when I bought them. Nonetheless; I couldn't be happier. Good luck finding another v-baby.

I agree. The one is definately aVienna markedblue ( I always get one out of each litter) and the other does look lilac. I personally love the VM's. Not just for their unique appearance, but their ability to produce BEW's. IIf the picture of Mama is correct, she is also a VM blue- and will throw...

I also take the kits away from the doe. I know this sounds odd, but my does will all nurse whenver I put them back in (up to 3 times a day) and when they're finished, they scratch at the door to get out. I've even had a doe nurse an 8 week old kit from another litter, simply because the kit...

Very interesting, Randy. Thanks for the info.

You should definately bring him inside. I can personally vouch for a totally different remedy for head tilt. Ivomec. It kills the E cuniculi parasite and inhibits growth of the spores. Rabbits are very delicate creatures and do not respond very well to antibiotics. In the end, an antibiotic can...

Poor Baby. I have a little kit with wry neck and I've treated him with Ivomec. Sounds odd; I know but wry neck is linked to E cuniculi ( and a healthy bun would be able to fight off an ear mite infection; which very seldom causes wry neck).Antibiotics are notoften tolerated favourably by rabbits...

Baby Wipes are a great idea. Hypo allergenic, plus they're durable (and won't fall apart while you're cleaning a mess).

My one doe has a very sensitive stomach and can't eat anything with yucca in it. Plus, I have to be careful not to give her too many fruits. She frequently gets excess cecal pellets, so I back off on the extras and only give her hay for a day or two till they're not noticeable anymore. She also...
