Curious, and I doubt I will go anywhere with this BUT... I have 5 self/self broken mini rexes(2 bucks, 3 does) and 4 Cals (1 buck and 3 does) and I was wondering if I could experimentally breed a Cal to a Mini Rex to gradually work toward Himalayan colored standard Rexes? Does anyone think...

Hey yall, asking for a few tips here if anyone can give me some. I have an older Lynx colored Rex doe (not perfect conformation but she was a pet gifted several years ago), a young broken black doe and a young broken blue buck. I plan to use the 2 younger ones at least to start breeding pet...

Hey all! I’ve been raising rabbits for my fair stock for a few years and this spring I really got into raising for meat. One problem I’m running into is that I’m having trouble advertising and getting people to buy from me. Does anyone have any recommendations? **I have heard that Facebook is...

Hi all. I have a 20-year old gelding and since I'm not currently working or in school I decided I would work with him and teach him some new tricks. I wanted to teach him to ground tie, because I believe it would be beneficial for his attitude when handling him and would be a nice skill to have...

I am working on my Proficiency/SAE for FFA and I'm looking to get Dutch rabbits. I am particularly interested in the tortoise variety, but I'll probably start with another variety since I'm new to Dutch and fairly far away from many breeders. I was planning to get 2 bucks and 2 does so that I...

I own a bald-faced Palomino who is generally very healthy. But during the summer his nose gets scabs on it. This year it didn’t show up until late, like a week or two ago. Is this from sunburn or is there something wrong? And how do I fix it? I can post pictures if I need to

I have a Californian doe that is just a year old, about a week ago was her birthday. She was bred to a young Calif. buck that I also own. Today was day 31 of her gestation and she definitely had a fur-lined nest this morning, although it was too dark and I was in a hurry to see if she had...
