TinysMom wrote sorry, i didnt know. i read that thread after i read mine, and it seemed like there was a lot of antibreeding comments. i was trying to say i could see where there might be some instances to feel like you should do so, but i was sincerely trying to be a good breeder. the...

here's another great idea for selling rabbits- there's a store in a nearby city that has been there for 18 years. they sell deluxe car stereo systems. with the economy, they must be great sellers to stay in biz with that kind of a store. the sign out front advertised a remote start sale, and...

HappyFarmBunnies wrote: i agree with happyfarms. i bought 2 bunnies at the county fair this summer. both breeders were recommended as good breeders by other breeders there. both breeders whipped out pedigrees without me even having to ask for them. a good breeder should be proud to hand over...

thank you cc! yes i do know that the doe should go to the male's cage. she loves benny, and he adores her. when we take smiley out to another room to run and exercise, benny looks distressed. when she comes back he literally jumps in the air, then they both race down to the end of the cage...

Benny is 2 years old. Smiley, my 4 1/2 yr old doe, is retiring. I bought a 2 1/2 to 3 yr old female last month at the fair. last week i bought a 4 month old female at the other fair. i'm supposed to be contacting a breeder this weekend and possibly getting a 3 month old female. if not, i...

the baby lived to be 3 weeks old. it was doing wonderfully. then the heat wave struck. we had 3 weeks of unbearable heat, with temps in the 90s to 100. the rabbits all had fans in front of their cages. i even tried frozen plastic 2 liter bottles of water in the cages and wetting them down. the...

i've had to "prepare" twice this year. i knew my 2 bunnies had serious diseases. when one passed, i prayed that the other would make it, and she held on for 4 more months. i "prepared" by making sure that the bunnies knew just how loved they were. i made sure every day was treat day. i held...

^ oh .... today bella went to join daisy in bunny heaven. they are buried next to each other in the back yard by the fence where there are rose bushes all along the fence. they are together again like they were for so long when they first came here, they were in the same cage until they...

Bella was the best rabbit ever !!! She was sooo sweet~ she loved everyone and she loved being cuddled and held. she never bit or charged or grunted, she had the sweetest most loving temperament of any rabbit i've ever had. she was sooo smart~ she did lots of tricks and loved to entertain us...

god bless you, how horrible to lose so many! xox i lost my long awaited baby to the heat wave last month, and now i just lost my 1 yr old to the e-cuniculi she had when i got her when she was 2 months old. i know how you feel. :(

hi, i live in northwest indiana. i recommend when the time comes to get a bunny that you check out the rabbit barn at your local fair. you can see a great variety of rabbits and talk to the breeders, and then if you decide to purchase one, you can get contact info from the breeder to help with...

hello! my daughter lets the bunnies run loose in her bedroom and play with her 3 cats. she has a 20 lb male cat who is obese, and the bunnies love to chase him, which is actually great exercise for him!

:apollo: smiley's baby (known as THE baby) lol is doing wonderful! i thought it had a black splotch on its nose but that musta been crud. the baby is totally white now. and it's HUGE! it looked big the first day but now it looks really big, its head is sooo huge! its gonna be a whopper just...

HappyFarmBunnies wrote: thank you! oh thats good advice about it being so hot! the baby will be 8 weeks old around the first of sept, so it should be right in time for fall and cooler weather. good luck with your breeders and dont give up hope! i have to get pictures put on a cd and then...
