Large, solid red, purebred Spanish Buck for sale. We have had him penned with girls for years and no babies. Turns out he is infertile. Would be perfect as a teaser buck as he has all the necessary parts and mentality of a buck. He is friendly and sweet to people. LOVES treats!! Even knows his...

Can anyone tell me what's going on this bunny's eye? It's other eye is perfectly fine. The littermates and dam are all fine too. A few days ago, it had a tiny bit of eye "boogers", but then I saw THIS yesterday. It was actually crusted shut both days, but I have been wiping it softly to clear...

Congrats! She's adorable. We LOVE our Silver Fox rabbits. Hoping to get some chocolate and lilac ones from the ARBA Convention :)

We had it pop up after the terrible heat spell here. Only 1 adult buck got sick and had to be euthanized. A few of his babies sneezed for a bit and occasionally we will have a rabbit sneeze out in the barn, but not one more has ever needed treating. We resolved to let the kits grow without...

Wouldn't be interested in trading them for a poor, "homeless" pit bull, would ya? She's only 35 lbs, loves ALL critters, loves "farm work", and is already fully vetted (including spayed)! Such a good deal, ya know ;) LOL Would be nice to find her a new home, but I'm nor crazy enough to think...

Would you consider trading for heritage waterfowl or rabbits? (You can PM me instead if you'd prefer)

Oh! I have a friend in SC that is helping rehome a young female GP. PM me and I'll send you her email. She travels to N AL occasionally, especially around holidays, and probably wouldn't mind transporting.

Interesting, we had a Pygmy doe come down with Listeriosis several years ago. No goat vet around. Horse vet had no idea what it was. We eventually figured it out and nursed her back to health. She never even aborted -luckily. But no one ever mentioned "too much" sweet feed as the issue. They...

Do be aware that SOME strains of Coccidia can kill quickly. 90% of the time they get scours, sickly looking, and slowly go downhill - giving you time to act. But a few years ago, we lost a beautiful, otherwise healthy, bouncing doeling to Coccidia OVERNIGHT! She was fine when I fed at night and...

This breed is excellent for meat production by homesteaders/survivalist. We breed for hardy, disease-resistant, heat-tolerant rabbits. They mature to 9-12 lbs and reach fryer size in 8-12 wks. To read more you can visit the ALBC's site: http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/silverfox.html We breed...

Some people would disagree, but I'd recommend Silver Fox. We had them in the Huntsville area and now in western GA and they have done well in both places. Surprisingly heat-tolerant for all that luxurious fur. Plus they have awesome silvering on their coat and "stand up" fur.

Silver Fox were historically known for having the highest dress weight of 65%. I haven't checked ours before, so I can't tell you if that's still true.

We are battling snuffles with some of our rabbits and now we have a small doeling that is about 4 months old that is refusing to eat, hardly drinking, and losing a lot of weight. She's not snotty or sneezing or anything like that. Just will only nibble hay and fresh grass. What's going on with...

Next question then, how do I euthanize such a large rabbit? Everyone in the herd is already exposed so the likelihood is I'm going to need to put down several. So far only the little babies are looking crusty and snotty. Maybe they will make it long enough to be decent for eating. Do you think...
