I occassionally feed my rabbits these littleapple and oat biscuits designed for horses. They are made byPurina under the name Nurtisource. My rabbits absolutely lovethem. I'm trying to find information on whether or not thisis a good idea in the long run. I've got two rabbits I'mtrying to put...

I still don't know what color these little guys are. The mother is a smutty orange and the father is a solid black.

I have a small rabbitry by many standards (about 15) but I'm still having trouble managing my waste.  I've been using wood pellets in my trays and I also use hay, especially in the winter.  I've been tilling a lot of it into my gardens but the sawdust and hay is beginning to add up.  Last...

I recently got a solid black kit with a white toe. I know this is a disqualification for showing but am curious why. Does anyone know?

The kits are two weeks old today so a few days ago I disinfected the nest box and hutch. I also moved the hutch to a different location, closer towindow with more air circulation (and more action)which may have upset the doe. This morning the nest box was full of poop and urine. I cleaned it...

Carmen's litter of 5 holland lop kits are all healthy and active. They are all eating and drinking and in the process of weaning. However all at once all the kits developed cecotropes and some of them are sticking to their fluffy baby bunny fur. I had to wash a few butts but the whole episode...

It breaks my heart to see 4 week old bunnies for sale. I just think this is too young. I won't let my rabbits go to new homes until after 8 weeks. Am I being a little over cautious?

I put an appropriately sized box in for a holland lopbefore kindlingthinking we would see only 2-4 kits. With five, at two weeks, they are already taking up a lot of space. I have bigger boxes, should I trade up now? The doe is in a 24 X 30 and the box already takes up a lot of space. The...

1 tortoise and 4 broken torts.

I think it's a great idea!What a terrific way to share the wealth. Rabbit manure is thegold standard of fertilizers!. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4382205761&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

I'm just curious how expensive rabbits can get. Which breed is the most expensive, etc. The most expensive rabbit I've ever seen was a Holland Lop Buck for $125 at a rabbit show. How about you?

This is Diablo, a junior AmFuzLop Sable Point Buck. He is about 4 months old in this picture.

This latest batch of timothy hay is reallykicking me. My allergic reactions are so bad and I can't takeit anymore. I'm sick, literally, of the itchy redeyes, the constant sneezing and overall dopey feeling from thehistamines. A lot of people have allergies to hay but only gothrough the reaction...

Hi all, I'm sorry things have gotten hectic and I haven't been able to "hang out" here. I just wanted to let you all know that Biscuit is doinggreat. She is 99% better and if you didn't know her youwouldn't even notice she has head tilt. She is now a housebunny and runs around the office (and I...

I first joined this board I had none. Is this something I shouldn't be proud about? What does it stand for?

Last night I put my headtilt bun in a pet carrierand it was a disaster. She must have felt closterphobic andcouldn't stop spinning, perhaps even seizured, I'm not sure. I let her sleep in a room without confinement last night and she did ok. Her kit misses her. I let the kit out this morning...

I've been wondering about this.

My fuzzy lop mom Biscuit is doingfine. I don't know how else to put it except"She hasn't gotten any worse AND hasn't gotten any better." It seems Biscuit will survive with a disability. She iseating well, but has lost weight. I'm pretty sure she isn'tnursing anymore because her nipples have...
