@DutchBunny03 we actually did get a livestock guardian dog for our rabbits because we had coyotes coming right up onto our porch and lost 2 of our purebred American Chinchillas that way! So we got him to deter them, but we live way out in the country and coyotes/foxes are a HUGE problem. While...

Hello again! So we appear to have our first case of cecal disbyosis in one of our babies. I believe I've got it early enough on, so we've thrown some timothy hay in there to hopefully get things more balanced. I believe this happened because we weaned too young, we found a lot of websites that...

UPDATE: we checked her this morning and it appears she has mastitis.Her nipples are a dark blue and some appear to have a dried yellow crust on them. We are going to treat her and see if we are able to save her. While we feel awful it happened we are glad it isn't some bad mothering genetic. I...

@DutchBunny03 we raise American Chinchillas, as well as New Zealand cross and Californians :) We'll probably focus more on the Californians for meat but like the Chins and NZ's for fur and because the Chins are just so interesting :) @Latestarter that is why we live away out in the boonies, its...

We have a friend who may be interested in purchasing some of...

Looks like intro's are due! My fiance and I live on 10 wonderful acres in the boonies of Central Cali 45 minutes from the nearest town, just the way two anti social homesteading wanna be's like it! We currently raise rabbits and have chickens periodically, and in the very near future will be...

Shes had litters this time of year, and were in cali, spring is in the air lol. Long days, warm weather, if shes going to act out because of this weather shes way too finnicky for my liking lol.

We have an nz/chinchilla cross doe who has had 3 successful litters, all large and she was an amazing mom. Her last litter we found all the kits dead, uncovered but in the nesting box, so we chalked it up to being stillborn (based on her history of good mothering) and rebred her. Well this...
