With Angoras, and I raise them, timothy hay is best for digestion along with the rabbit pellets. Give very few treats unless it is green, leaving out lettuce. Lettuce is not good for them. Broccoli, kale, dark green veggies are best.

French Angoras. The sire and dam are both grand champions. I never even thought about how $50 may look like a lot!!!! :P Of course if none of the kits were quality (I doubt that would happen) I would refund the money. Both parents are really quality, gorgeous rabbits.

That behavior is pretty typical actually. I plan on asking for at least a $50 deposit for each kit. Non-refundable. I am fairly new to rabbits, but I know what I have and they are worth it.

Has anyone ponied up yet?

I heard a story recently about a gal that didn't know they should be seperated and the doe, once bred, bit off his man thing. Seperate early!!!! :lol:

We have ALWAYS used Skin SO Soft for bug repellent!!! Good idea!!!

I am gonna print this out for the trainer. I am sure he will understand it!!! I still have to stand on a bench because I am not in shape at all and cannot haul my lard butt up that high! They are pretty tall horses.

I forgot to add that we built ours this way on the advice of a trainer. For what it's worth. I know nothing!

YIKES!!! We have two horses and 2.5 acres. They seem fine here. Damn it now I have to move to a bigger place :P

I am a complete and total rookie here so take it for what it is worth. The shelter we are building is 10' tall, in case one rears up they won't bump their heads. We used 12' 2x4's and buried 2 feet in the ground. Plywood around and above. We have dirt and are planning on keeping it that way...

That's it!!!! Hackamore. And what a WORLD of difference a bit made today. Duke responded exactly like he should. Duchess, the little spitfire, still had the hackamore on today and danced all over the place. We are certainly blessed to have these two young men willing to come work with us...

After getting advice, we followed it! We are putting the treats in a planter that has just dirt in it, and we got a trainer. FOR FREE!!!! AGAIN!!!! He came by today, after the horses have been here for a week. It is clear they have been ridden before, and also clear they need a bit instead...

We are very lucky indeed that family members are long time horse trainers. The nephews FIL works with the Sheriffs posse and is willing to be there for us. These two are kinda funny, like kids!! We open the door and there they are in a flash. And not because of treats because we have beein...

Hi! I too think they need weight. They have been vaccinated, wormed and teeth floated. They are in pretty good condition considering they have been in a field for 8 months and who knows what their diet was before that!!!!

I really appreciate all your help and comments SO MUCH!!! Ken is more of a horse person (more experience) than me, and I trust the BYC/BYH peoples opinions and answers alot. I will let you guys know how it goes. We are taking things slow so they REMAIN nice horses. So far, they are AWESOME...

Not yet we don't know. Next weekend we are going to start doing that with them. We wanted them to get used to their surroundings and us a bit before we start lunging. Ken knows how to do that, I am clueless. Their weight is pretty good, but they do need some. They also look better now...

Ken with Duke The rest are J and me with Duchess:

I never knew that! *runs to BYC* Doodle - we bought carrots and apples. Are those ok? So far we have only been giving them 1 apple and 1 carrot each per day. I need a bucket.

Hi Doodle!!! I am re-evaluating the treats, though I think they may be necessary to help supplement nutrition til they gain weight, then again I don't want them to count on it. I didn't give them any tonight, just brushed her really good and talked to her the whole time. I didn't even need...

This is the first I read about using a bucket (wonder if I have one). I am aware they are not goats, goats are a nuisance. We were thinking of using the treats as a way to bond with them, as well as supplement their nutrition, not reward so much. They are home now and getting used to the...
