Thankfully, some plants thrive on neglect!

There is nothing wrong with asking them about the set up they have. Good idea.

I just have to wonder how many folks getting into meat rabbits, chickens, quail what have you, because of the virus and supply chain issues have *really* studied up and know what to expect. It took me 3 yrs before I felt confident that I could cull and process the rabbits. And anyone thinking...

Central Minnesota. No rabbit shortage here. But chickens/chicks/fertilized eggs are moving fast, as well as fresh eating eggs. I have a new influx of egg customers and some who have standing orders weekly. I do think the current situation has made folks wake up a bit. Many are jumping into...

Counted kits tonight. Junie has 13. Evelyn has 10. 33 kits all total. Here are the newborns: Cotton Bottom's kits Evelyn's kits June Bug's litter

Thanks! I'll update with pics as we go!

:celebrateWoo-hoo! I've got 3 nest boxes full of newborns! The does were all bred same day: 1 proven, 1 newbie & 1 who was on her 3rd attempt at getting pregnant. Well, Lady Cotton Bottom hit a homerun w/bases loaded (I'm missing baseball, does it show?) She kindled day 30 - 10 fat little...

June Bug's litter from this past winter

Baby red wiggled worms, maybe? They're about 1/2 inch

I'm late to this thread but for what it's worth: 1. I trim nails, log their weight & do a general health check on breeding day. I start w\the bucks then the does have their turn and go straight to their assigned buck. 2. If you have does who are gentle/good breeders, then I say cull the...

I raise Rex rabbits too! Pretty sure your buck will fill out nicely. Predigrees aren't necessary if breeding only for meat. I have a very well pedigreed buck who comes from good lines with 9-10lb weights but he turned out to be smaller. He is a yr old and just around 8 lbs. That said, he throws...

My hubs said last night to wait on animal feed till Monday, that "no one anywhere" was gonna make a run on feed. Well, at lunch HE went to store near work and got the last bag of rabbit feed on shelf and the last bag of All flock poultry feed. And said there's only a few chick starters left...

There are no cases in my small town that we know of, or even in areas close by but local stores have sold out of bleach, bleach-wipes and even bleach based bathroom cleaners. Until your post, I had not considered putting up extra dogfood. Better do that.

I have Rex, Champagne d'Argent, Californian and 1 buck that is a Californian-New Zealand cross. What do you raise?

Thank you!

Haha yes they do. They get a bit before the rest goes to compost. I swear they know when it's a brew day. 😁

In fall I cover garden on compost and all the dry rabbit poop I have. By time snow melts in spring it's a layer of beautiful dirt 😄

Here's my compost set-up. Its next to garden, which is next to rabbit barn and chicken coops. Rabbit and Bird poop, bedding, garden scraps that the animals don't eat, coffee grounds, spent grains from hubby (home brewed beer)...it goes into far right section. Gets turned as needed and when it is...

I'm glad to arrive here it took forever due to an email confirmation glitch. I'm a suburban homesteader in MN. Currently I have chickens, quail and Rabbits. I started with all Rex added Champagnes, and have just recently added a Cali doe and Cali-NZ buck who has really stolen my heart. The...
