The lady I got my rabbits from had them so tame they could have them around the yard with very little supervision. It looked very peaceful. And others she had in a very small two foot high portable enclosure without them trying to get lose. She had hers really tame. Mine...not so tame. Mine...

So 2 or 3 days ago i tried to have my doe mate my buck in his cage. They ran around a bunch and it looked like he failed with an incomplete fall off. So I thought, oh I'll wait a couple days and try again. So today I figured, hey might as well be today. I put her in his cage again and let...

I thought this would be fun to talk about and bring up. Today I brought one of my younger rabbits that was a bit more tame into the house. I put her sort of on my lap and under my coat while wearing it. The interesting thing about this is that she'd sort of try to dig through my coat and the...

Wish I could help but my area not many people have Californians. A lot are doing New Zealanders instead. I hope you get some responses from the others.

Be ready! Rumors are there will be a LOT of flooding all over the US this year! Make your place and animals secure early. Don't let vanity and pride get in the way. Kentucky and the Ohio River already seeing this. Lots of extra snow in the Rocky Mountains which fuels the Missouri river...

What protein percent are rabbits getting from barley sprouts? In thinking about overfeeding and why my rabbits weren't popping out babies yet, I wanted to check this. What do you think?

So I found out I was overfeeding my rabbits. They don't look unhealthy. And they don't look too fat. They even surprisingly enough had looked a bit thin with some of them. I guess the overfeeding was absorbed by the energy being put into surviving the cold winter. And it was really cold in our...

Thank you very much. That's pretty good actually. Its better than cats and dogs even! Do you feel that that range is pretty even across the board mostly with most geese breeds?

That trait of killing without need is....bizarre. Really weird. Thanks for telling us. Sorry you had such adversity. It wouldn't be fun to have experienced all that damage.

US... But its possible the people I got them from just didn't have human interaction. I'm still learning about the human interaction factor now, and not sure how much you have to human interact with them to get them to be tame... Do people that are doing colony style management only put the...

Thanks for the reply. I did get them back in. But I was lucky... They were mostly very affectionate new zealanders. If that had been the other ones I'd never have caught them again. They are too fast. :S I don't know how people do it...

Thanks. I'll take a look. But... yesterday and the day before my rabbits kept getting out. So I've gotten tired of colony style system veryyyyyy quickly. :( (Although they do look happier with that kind of set up.)

I totally get this. They are amazing.

Thanks! You made some very good points. Like your ideas!

Thanks for your comments/advise. Are turkeys more food efficient than chickens (from foraging etc, or?) ? (Since I have the chance to ask.)

Question for you guys... I wondered if you could get zip ties to last longer, by coating melted wax over them? What do you think about this? (Or do you have another way of doing it that would be better?) I'd made a few rabbit hatches out of wood...except the front grills it was easier to use...

I wanted to ask what you thought about which of these two management systems for pens, offers the best attributes? And especially is there any survival benefit to colony style management over individual grass tractor pens? (By grass tractor I mean a larger elongated pen, but that they usually...

So I wondered if any of you have experimented with the idea of cycling a drip irrigation set up for orchard trees, etc to maybe have 1 week of good flow, and then 1 week almost nothing, and then back and forth. How well and what is the ideal setting between trying to keep them alive and going...

Do you have to have water troughs in every partition? How do you work this part out?

That is really cool! I like it.
