No pictures yet, but I'm working on building homes for incoming rabbits. It's my first time with rabbits and I'm still trying to decide which breed to focus on. I prefer heritage breeds, so if you have any helpful tips for rabbits I'm all ears.

Thank you VERY much for that thought out response. It sounds like I'll have to really research the breeder. I don't want a dog that nobody except family can approach, either. I would prefer larger stock, and I'm fine with getting two dogs. It would probably be easier on them if we're away...

Awesome! Drop one off at my house. :)

Sorry I wasn't clear. I'm only currently working 2 to 3 acres. I meant if they are roaming, there are over 100 acres to roam without getting into other people's business. I'm in New Hampshire.

Thanks! I work about 2-3 acres now, but they can run around on over 100 before they start ticking someone off. I have tons of fences on my property, and will get more if I have goats. None of them are really "dog" fences. They are mostly electric and section off small areas, not the...

I've always had hunting dogs, mostly labradors. Love them, and may get another some day. However, I've since moved to a remote area and started a small homestead. We have about 50 15-50 chickens at any given time as we settle on a breed. We have pigs in and out, and a garden. Rabbits and...

Oddly enough, we got our first meat pig last week. She was scared to death of us as well. Went nuts when we were around and wouldn't even come near the food if we were near it. Oddly enough, I started mimicking her loudly this morning after she ran away again. She stopped, turned around, and...

Quick question: How tall should the pig shelter be?

Great info. Thanks! I was thinking of skipping the floor and using hay instead. The rest of it looks very similar to what I'm building. I'm thinking making the back a door to remove them when it's time to harvest.

Great tips. Glad I joined this forum. Maybe I'll stick to a single wire low to keep from rooting under the fence.

Great responses! Thank you so much. I'm not sure what breed it is, since it was just offered to me. I'm trying to find another as a companion, and because a friend would like a pig as well. I had planned to add pigs to my homestead, just not this quickly. I'm fine with it, I just don't...

I bought some land last year and I've been slowly clearing it and adding animals. A neighbor recently offered me a feeder pig, but I only have a week to clear some trees and get the pen built. Having never dealt with pigs, and since I'm not sure this will be the permanent home for it, I've...
