i ran it through twice.

thanks everyone for your input! i ordered the STX 3000 Turbo Force. I deboned a rabbit for the 1st time and ground up the meat. After adding 10% of smoked bacon (it's all i had at home at the time) to the rabbit meat i ended up with 3lbs of ground meat. We've used it to make tacos and a meat...

the Cabelas one looks like a beast! way outta of my budget.

ha! the STX is one of the models that i've been eyeballing. glad to hear!

hoping to keep it around $150.

How many of you grind your rabbit meat? any recommendations on a particular residential type grinder?

thank you!

On December 1st my Silver Fox Doe had a litter of kits. The majority of them are black as expected, but 3 of them are blue! I'm guessing that the Blue is a recessive gene.....

thank you everyone for the advice! i did not feel comfortable removing the kits from the hutch so i decided to leave them out there. it got down to 7 degrees and they all survived.

looking at the forecast now it will remain in the high teens throughout the night and then drop to single digits around 5am thru 10-11am. of course i usually leave for work around 7:30am. if i bring them in overnight and then bring them out around 7am and bring them back in around 7:30, would...

There's an enclosed nesting area with a solid floor that is stuffed with hay. I have also placed...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! pics soon to come...

got home for lunch and checked up on the rabbits, so far so good. they are still covered up and very lively! couldn't really tell if they had a full belly or not, i'm still new at this....

Thats exactly what i did, i picked up as much as i could off the wire and placed the fur back on the kits. fingers crossed that she gets the hint....

i'll be going home for lunch and checking. hoping to see some round bellies when i get there. My other Silver Fox doe (also 1st time mom) had 5 kits on Thanksgiving and those are growing like weeds! Their bellies are always nice and round.

My Silver Fox Doe (1st time mom) gave birth to 9 kits yesterday. From day 28 thru day 30 she refused to use the nestbox that i placed in the sleeping area of her hutch. So on day 30 i removed the nestbox and stuffed that area which is roughly 18" x 24" with hay, lots of hay! The next day she...

some great points here! thank you! I will definitely not be bracing the field fencing to trees now. how will the woven field fencing do on an uneven terrain? for the most part the ground is relatively flat with the exception of a few areas that have small hills and some small dips. does the...
