    Bigger is not always better!

    I understand - I am 6'3" and have been this way since 7th grade. I was 5'11 in 4th grade. Do you know how awkward it is to be 5'11" in 4th grade muchless be a girl and be tall!?

    rabbit prices

    It does depend but I am in Missouri and know that some sell $8 live, $10 dressed OR you can do it by the pound. I know that Pel Freeze and the place in Iowa (name is escaping me now) pay $1.45 per lb live weight.

    My first litter of Flemish giants-14 day old pictures

    thanks so much for posting pics. our big momma had babies a few weeks ago and I knew they weren't all New Zealand. I think she is NZ/FG cross. She had 9 babies- 7 white ones and 2 that look like a wild rabbit (don't know what color that is called) They are HUGE compared to my NZ babies.

    So not prepared!

    One problem I have discovered (thought it was always in the back of my mind) from buying families at the sale barn...you don't know if the mama has been bred back yet! So frustrating. I don't like to breed back immediatly, because we like to leave the babies with their mamas until 6 weeks...

    False pregnancy??

    is your buck proven? Are you using the same buck? We were having that problem for awhile and then bought a new older mature buck and we have babies coming out of our ears! Hope you get it figured out!

    the wait is killing me!

    I have a doe that made her nest on Saturday, started pulling fur yesterday afternoon and is still pulling fur today. She was bred on 2/23 so she should be having babies anytime! I bred 2 other does on the same day and no signs of anything?!?! I go and check on them 3-4 times a day and even got...

    What kind of Hay do you give your rabbit?

    we feed a fescue mix. Luckily DH square baled about 150 bales last year and it has came in handy when feeding the bunnies and calves. The rabbits really like it. I also sometimes feed wheat straw with lespedeza mixed in-they really liked that too.

    quick breeding question

    From what I have read- anytime. I have read that some breed the next day after birth, some wait 3 weeks, some wait 2 months. depends on the breeder and the health of the rabbit. hope that helps.
