I have some more female growing so if she hasn't done anything by the time they are breed then I think I'll cook her. This multiplying bunnies doesn't seem as fast to me as other people say.

Hmm. I don't really know. They are big. Little shy of 8 lbs. Male has been trying since about 6 months old but she just keep running. My son decided to help out last month & put them together for me so I didn't know if it happened or not so I waited to see. So this month I put her with him & she...

I have a female that Isn't getting breed. She has to 8 months by now. The male is 8 months also. I ended up buying another male that I was told was proven but he didn't have any luck ether. She was running away which she has stopped that but as hard as they try she won't lift for them. I spent...

That would be the part about controlling the biosecurity. Using the right mixed of animals to help each other out. Chickens eat ticks. If the wrong host eats worm eggs it will kill the worm. I actually do done of this. I run horses, a sheep, & a cow until she went to the freezer. When I...

My son took care of her last night. The blood vains in the one hind leg were ruptured. I've never heard of this. I didn't see it to know for sure tho. She was a lot of work tho. It seemed that we had to pick her up several times a day to drain her bladder. I don't think she could pee on her...

There is another option. If you can afford it is to fence off a large area that you control the biosecurity to an extent. You can't do much about birds flying over but you can keep most predators out. You could raise them on a few acres of land planting what you want them to eat & letting them...

You never know. I don't know how long this has been to know if it has been long enough to be cleared. I bought some rabbits at the farm store then went back to get some more. The second trip I came home with 3 rabbits that were all sick & I didn't know it until they were already there. The...

Chicken acid was a term used for a chemical that used to be made by a company that is now owned by Bear. It was mixed into the feed to grow meat birds out faster. This was probably around 30 years ago. The company at the time was Monsanto. I'm not sure of the spelling or the actual name of the...

I'm just saying that is best for me. As far as I know with the exception of medicated feed nothing is if there but natural food that is all safe. Stuff like chicken acid that had growth hormones was banned. Some certain animals you may not like the sound of where the protein comes from but it...

I always figured the person making the feed knew more then I did & what little I've researched making feed for other animals it wasn't only easier to buy the feed already mixed but was cheaper on small scale also.

See that would bother me. I've had to many issues with bringing in sick animals. I haven't let the kids do fair animals yet but I've about determined that anything that goes won't be returning. I just had a issue with bringing a sick rabbit hone from the farm store & that was to much work...

It is at 3.7 lbs. Not knowing what age it is but was told some were 8 weeks & others were 12 weeks. She looks like the ones that range 4.25-4.5 lbs. The smaller bunnies are the same weight but a different color. Something else I noticed was that she pees quite a bit when she is first picked up...

I had a guy I know pick up 7 rabbits from his mother in law. They are 8 & 12 weeks old. He was keeping them in a large dog carrier over night, on the ground, & it had 6" x6" openings at the bottom. I think it got it's leg between the ground & bottom of the cage. It drags it's back end around...

Well the Bunny that was sick is still doing well. She is eating & drinking like crazy. Well not knowing where to go to look for rabbits I have l limited choices. I ended up buying a buck of breeding age that is now quarantine for 30 days. And I am getting 7 more that are 2 months and 3 months...

Thanks. What is going on with yours?

I'm guessing the latter. All the rabbits at the store were sick also in every cage. One died while I was trying to convince the lady at the store they were all sick.

I don't know the age of any of them. I bought them from the farm store. The sick one is young. They told me about 8 weeks & she was about the same size as the ones that was supposed to be NZW the same age. I haven't weighed any of them but to compare size the little one is about the size of an...

I'm really wanting to get started & I need a buck to do that so I'm going to try to find somewhere that they all cone from the same place & get both does & a buck so I can go ahead & breed while keeping then in quarantine in a different location.

She has another 3 weeks on it. Another thread it was suggested 30 days.

She gets taken care of last. She has her own small feed container so I'm not touching the main feed bag & bottle to refill her water. The ground is sprayed around her pen before I get close to it & I try not to go inside it. I ware gloves when I do have to handle her along with getting my wife...
