    Ideas to trim my bunny’s nails

    I find it fairly easy to do my new Zealand's nails with them on a table with them sitting on a piece of carpet. I just pull out a leg and trim those nails, then on to the next. At first i would have someone put a hand on their back to sort of hold them in place. But after a few trims. They all...

    Normal for mother to not breastfeed on day 1?

    Rabbits usually only feed their kits twice a day. Just keep an eye on them. You will be able to tell by full belly's.

    Bill yes it has been a tough year for you. You have my sympathies. I dont know if you are working or retired. But you really need to get out and do something. If retired volunteer somewhere. I hope all the best for you.

    While not impossible your Buck is a bit young. I would separate them. Wait till your buck is a bit older.

    What should a rabbit hutch have?

    I would not put earth and grass on the mesh. A couple of ceramic tiles will work much better.

    Stomping?

    If your cage has a bottom. That the rabbit can not chew through. Put a yoga mat or those rubber mat's The ones with puzzle edges to lock together. You can get at any auto parts store, Menard's, Home Depot etc. Will defiantly lower/muffle the sound on the floor below.

    I can feel babies but my doe is 36 days along

    Hope your doe is fine. Had i seen this earlier i would have suggested giving her raspberry leaves. Seems to help get the process going.

    See if giving her a frozen milk jug or ceramic tile frozen helps during the heat.

    Wood for outdoor cage

    Use 1/2 inch x 1 inch wire for the floor. I have dogs and they don't bother the rabbits. Although they do greet them in the morning. Never once lost a rabbit to thunder storms. If worried build a box with the same wire for the floor of it. Just not out of treated wood. They will chew on it. It...

    Wood for outdoor cage

    You can use treated wood. The only thing that you need to do is make sure all your wire is on the inside of the cage so they can not chew on any of it.

    Material for hutch

    My outside hutches are built out of treated wood. So they last. I did put all the wire on the inside of the hutch so that the rabbits cannot chew any of it. You can always get metal roof flashing to cover any wood you think your rabbit might be able to chew. It took a little planning. But was...

Or one could simply buy some cage wire 1"x1"x48" for top and sides. 1"x1/2" for the floor and build there own Using j-clips and j clip pliers. Which would be a...
