    snotty nose and diarrhea

    What do I need to do? I have not brought any new rabbits or even handled any other rabbits. My remaining doe (the other one passed away from bloat) seems to be sick now. The other 5 are still ok, knock on wood. What would y'all recomend, what might it be?

    Help with lethargic rabbit

    She started improving and then went back down quickly. I had to put her down. She had some gut sounds, but abnormal compared to one of the other rabbits. I should have done a necropsy, but didn't think about it at the time. All of the others are doing just fine - but I will keep an eagle eye...

    Help with lethargic rabbit

    Hi there, I have been nursing a sick doe for about a week now and she's not improving... She has been fine, had a litter in December, I weaned them at eight weeks, and she was fine, healthy and plump. Last week I noticed she had been throwing her food out instead of eating it, but she was...

    Looking for info on Kinder Goats

    I've started my quest for Kinders!! If I can't find anyone locally and begin my own herd of Kinders with a Nubian doe and Pygmy buck, are there any breeding issue? Do they breed naturally or would I have to AI?

    Looking for good meat rabbit breeders in Texas

    I see you posted a while ago, I don't spend much time on BYH. If you haven't already found someone, you may call your local feed store and ask them if they know of anyone, or vet's office even. Lots of times good breeders forge lasting relationships with those places and are always ready to...

    artificial light

    Thanks y'all. It looks like the worst of it will be over by the weekend, so they will go back out then. The babies have full fluffy coats (they are sooo cute!). So I think once the temps even out they will be fine getting covered at night. As far as vitamins, what is a good suplement to...

    artificial light

    It has been freakishly cold in my area the past couple of weeks, I am new to rabbits, and just had a litter 2 weeks ago today. I put them in a garage, that has no windows. I turn the lights on during the day and off at night to help with some kind of normal day. It remains cold and will be...

    1st time

    Just wanted to let y'all know that the nz doe kindled this morning. I had kind of started to think that she wasn't pregnant, but, this morning she had put a little bit of hay and fur in the nest box, so I gave her more hay, and like a mad woman, she started making her nest, I went back a little...

    Well, She is not being aggressive, she is just laying there, she won't lift up for him and gets in the corner, where he can't really get to her. He is very interested. Her vulva is pale, how often would I check to see if it changes?

    What is the proper way to rest rabbit meat after you butcher, and how long does it need to rest before cooking?

    1st time

    So... I think that breeding was successful with the NZ doe, but the Cali doe did not want anything to do with it. I tryed Friday Saturday and Sunday, putting her with him for about 15 minutes twice a day, and she wasn't interested. So... I don't know if she might already be pregnant, or...

    1st time

    If you want to go back and forth, do it in a different thread or pm. I was simply asking a question because I'm completely NEW at raising rabbits. I would like to be able to continue using this forum to learn as much as I can. I am interested in hearing many different opinions, that is what...

    1st time

    I am really glad you said that!! The more I thought about it the more I was leaning towards breeding them right now. We have pretty mild winters where I am, so it shouldn't get too cold until they are a couple of weeks old, even then, cold is a relative term. I will try to breed them Friday I...

    1st time

    It's my first time with rabbits so please be patient with me, but I got a breeding pair of NZW's and a Californian doe. I just got them over the weekend. I was planning on giving them a chance to settle into their new home, but was wondering should I wait until spring to breed them? They are...
