    Revolution For Rabbits!?!

    I need some advice. It looks like one of my does has fur mites and I’ve been told Revolution for Cats is one of the few safe medications that can be used on rabbits. What are your thoughts? I’ve also heard of Ivermectin working but I’m not too familiar with that. There is an apple flavour...

    EMERGENCY

    They were digging digging digging, thankfully I caught them back in the barn and fixed up the hole. Now something (probably a coyote) is digging in from the outside. No worries though, he hit cement and can't get to them. Here are the happy travellers though! Lola is the gray and white, and...

    RESCUED BABY DUCKLING - Need Help!

    My neighbour has a duckling which seems to have troubles walking - his legs look gibbled. They aren't broken, but they don't work right and he has troubles getting around. He was going to kill it but I said I would take him in my care and try to raise him. It was a snap decision and I actually...

    EMERGENCY

    This morning I received news that 2 of my does have gone missing..they are strictly pets and it is important that they make it home whole! Is it likely that they will come back because of the food source? I'm not sure if the storm spooked them off or if they dug off to another planet. I'm...

    My goats are brats!!

    I have two miniature goats and they have become extremely bratty since we got our lambs. Is this a jealousy thing or what? They bite my fingers and toes and chew on my clothing whenever I'm close enough. Also - due to my lambs escaping (literally everyday) from their pen, they are now housed...

    Bonding 2 Pairs

    I bought 4 rabbits from the same litter back in March and I separated them into pairs because I was told that 2 were girls and 2 were boys. Recently finding out that they are all girls, I would like to have them all back together. They have been together in a huge run (but still separated) and...

    Snuggle Bugs

    Everytime I go out to my lambs I sit down with them and they "snuggle up" and get a bunch of petting. This morning, Sweetheart starting licking my arms and hands - is this considered affection or is it the salt from my skin? Do they need salt/mineral blocks?

    Shearing??

    At what age should my lambs first be sheared? Lady we bought them from says Spring of 2018 (they'll be 1yr old then) is when she would shear but just wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Is it easy enough to learn and do it on my own or should I "hire" someone to do it to prevent injuries etc?

    Salad Mix?!

    I have a pre made salad mix from the store that is going bad and I'm wondering if I can feed this to my sheep? They are just about 3 months old and I feed it to my goats (they'll really eat anything) and they do just fine. It mainly has iceberg lettuce but there are bits of red/purple cabbage...

    Normal Behaviour???

    I had my buck and one doe in the same enclosure (still separated) and I'm curious if their behaviour is normal or not. They could see each other through the fence and while my buck didn't do anything out of the ordinary the doe was whipping around and binkied atleast 30 times lol she was...

    Help me identify my rabbits?

    Unfortunately, people around here always buy bunches of rabbits for the meat grinder - and I'm not too sure they really care what breed they are as most say rabbit meat is rabbit meat. I would hope they'd go to "pet" homes but I can't decide what the next owners do with them. It's not a set...

    Help me identify my rabbits?

    These are my newest rabbits and they're roughly 4 months old - the girl I got them from gave me a list of like 5 possible breeds so I really have no clue what they are. Here are some photos - if you have any idea or a best guess I would really appreciate your help. It doesn't matter to me as I...

    Need Advice!

    @norseofcourse - Haven't started them on vaccinations but I will definitely talk to the vet again. She did not mention anything when we were in for the ringworm so it didn't even cross my mind. Are they super important? Our goats have been just fine and seem to be in great health too with no...
