    How do I cage my rabbits efficiently?

    I personally like rabbit tractors. They are not much more if any more expensive than a regular cage and require less cleaning. The rabbits get to run more and the fertilize my lawn! Also I spend less $$$ feeding them. I find almost no disadvantages to them. And as a added plus I get to see...

    Bad mother...

    So I bred both of my American does about a month ago. One to a American buck and the other to my super huge NZ just to see what I would get. Anyway, one of the rabbits had 4 babies.

    Pick them up by the scruff or not?

    Ok, thanks guys! That's really good to know! I guess the breeders I talked to before didn't know what they were talking about.

    Pick them up by the scruff or not?

    What breed is this?

    I found this add on Craig's list and I'm looking for a new buck. The people say they don't know what breed he is but he might be a Rex. Looks kinda like a New Zealand to me but I'm not sure. If it's a NZ I will want to buy him...
