    I've decided to go ahead and place Daphne's nesting box into her cage and let her build her nest since that seems to be what she wants to do! Hopefully she won't decide to use it as a litter box...I'll just have to keep an eye on it and clean it if she does! Getting excited and a little...

    Early nesting behavior question!

    Thank you Barb! 💞 I just don't want to put it in to early and have her use it as a litter box, but maybe she won't and at least it will keep her from wasting the hay, as she scratches it falls through to the ground! We need to build a second box for our other doe...I'm not even sure she mated...

    Early nesting behavior question!

    Good morning all! I bred my rabbits for the first time on 8/7 & 8/12. The first doe will be due on 9/4-9/7. She is already grabbing hay and taking it into her enclosed area. She puts it on the wire and starts scratching. This rabbit went through a false pregnancy shortly after we separated...

    Good morning! It's been a very busy month. I hope everyone is doing well! My hens are laying and my rabbits are acting like they want to build nests, but it hasn't been 28 days since I bred them. I will post some questions on the rabbit forum. I've gotten some large eggs and some small ones...

    I was able to buy 3 dozen, which shaved a little off of the price!

    Thank you! I always walk through them, but I didn't tell my son that and a stick is a great idea. I will let him know.

    We had one super aggressive banty rooster...I shared about him before...he became dinner! I really think Roo was just protecting his flock time will tell!

    Dale is playing in a golf tournament today & I didn't want to stay home, so I'm hanging out at a nearby park reading a book. This is my view!

    Thank you for the insight. He's almost 5 months old, so still pretty young. He's not aggressive towards me or my husband. I told my son he was just protecting his flock and he will have to figure out how to keep him out of the pen when he has to go in there. For now I will keep him, but if he...

    Our weather is supposed to start cooling down by Thursday, 93 today, 97 tomorrow and 81 on Thursday! My rabbits are now 5 months old. I think I'm going to try and breed them for the first time on Thursday...hopefully the weather is cool enough and it will take! I will probably go out first...

    Good morning! Well, I went out to take care of my animals today and inspect my rooster! I walked towards him saying good morning and he ran away from me per usual! I think my 5' 3" height must be much more imposing than someone who's 6' 2".... :gig I probably should put him down, but I will...

    Agreed...he knows that with me and has never been aggressive! He picked the largest human in our family to attack...6'2 250lbs...dumb cluck!
