I've read this entire post and no one mentioned American Chinchillas so I will. I have been breeding them for meat for about a year now and find them to be very easy to work with. One of the reasons I chose them is their heritage status and rare breed status...i get meat and can keep them from...

You can use the fur from other rabbits in the nest if you need to, I have done this in the past with no problems. If you think the doe might be picky about it u can always put a few drops of vanilla in the bag of fur a few days before you place it in the nest. I have used dryer lint in the past...

We do in-breeding all the time with no problems as long as all the off spring go no further than your freezer. In the 2 yrs of doing meat rabbits we have had no more still borns then we breed for stock and sales. :)

You should ask to inspect the rabbits befor you purchase. Look for clear eyes, check the teeth google an image as to what they should look like, look in the cage for signs of runny poop, make sure that the rabbits backside is clean not matted with poop. Is the rabbit active and alert not...

Absolutely wonderful to see. Thanks! :)

Rabbit meat. How did you have your divider attached to your cage? Try using plastic "zip ties" to hold it into place, I have a few very large cages(4x8 n 4x10) that sometimes need to be divided up . I use 1/2"x1/2" wire and zip ties. This always works and keeps whatever rabbits I need...

Hello n welcome to the group from Savannah Ga! :)

Lol Vickie that's too funny about your dogs..mines run when they see me grab Q-tips. Also see if there is a raptor club or some thing of the sorts in your area...they might appreciate that stuff to feed their birds..

Nawma ...over time I have found that they eventually eat the whoe thing root bed n all just takes some time .

WMR...where did you get your trays? I am using plastic food storage tray I bought at Wallyworld for 3.97 for a set of two. They are 14x9 or so. I have a DIY system that I made up from a metal shelf unit, trays with drain holes I drilled in the bottom, a container at the bottome to collect all...

I took my buns off of pellets about 6 months or so ago, after gradually introducing them to fodder. I live in the south, Savannah Ga area, so my choice of seeds was limited, I finally found Iron Clay Peas(cow peas) and started my DIY fodder system with that, I am getting about 5-6 lbs of fodder...

yes fresh grass is fine as long as you don't use any insecticides on your lawn...just pull out what they don't eat after about 1-2hrs, something goes on when the grass starts to wilt there's a time frame between fresh cut and drying out to hay that animals shouldn't eat. I dont remember all the...

Vickie the mounting you witnessed may be more of a dominancy issue than breeding/sexual act. I have seen young litter mates do this to each other and once saw a 6 week old kit mount its mother. As Citylife said dont assume it was a buck as does will do this also. Sexing rabbits gets easier...

not sure what kind of hay I have I get it at a local feed store. I live in the Savannah Ga area and remember that when just starting out that Timothy hay down here is not available. I believe its Bermuda Grass hay which is fine for rabbits as far as I know. This is the link for the picture of my...

I found them in the shelving area. They are by Style Selections, under-shelf storage bin, model # 45260PHXLG . They mesure 9.84"x13.98"x5.31". They are white coated wire like the closet organizer systems and they only cost about $4 each. As soon as I am back at home I will figure out how to...

Hello and welcome! Whatever size nest box you will be using will determine the door size for the cages, also a inch or two along the bottom would be good to help the kits from rolling out when you open the door. As far as food and water you can either use "J" feeders or coup cups(which I prefer)...

Total chaos....I luv it!! Good to know I am not the only one that lives in such chaos with her critters....Moon you got it right about the morning "crack" fix for the rabbits...mine almost squeal with glee every morning when they see me heading to the cages with feed, not to mention the running...

All my buns are in outside wire cages with no " igloos" to hang out in, I live in the south where it's hot almost year round. The only time I have put huts in for them was during a really cold and wet December a few yrs back thinking they needed more protection from the weather, they did not...
