Anyone?

I think it might come down to where you are advertising. Are you posting only on craigslist and other free sites? Or do you have newspaper ads and fliers out? When dealing with craigslist, flaky is pretty much the norm. I have a theory about this...often people selling items are not really...

My hubby is considering giving me a good portion of our garage to house our rabbits. This is a great space in a concrete block building with two windows, electricity and a dedicated water hydrant feet away. It has an attic as well, so it tends to be really cool as the heat rises into the second...

For those who like their meat crosses (I find the term "meat brick" especially attractive, personally) what breeds do you cross?

I've heard that specifically about dogs and cats, but someone used it this past week about pigs and chickens....What? LOL

I just want to say I completely disagree with the way things were handled in that six bells rabbit raid and confiscation. Rabbits shouldn't be fixed and adopted off without a judge's order or ruling. Searches shouldn't be made without warrants. And I disagree with the philosophy of the HRS...

Well, I'm really happy to be going to the big local "grange fair" this weekend in PA, where I will see all sorts of proud 4H's showing off their years work. Maybe I'll even find some rabbit breeders looking to sell stock. We might bid on a market lamb this year. I'm shocked and angry about...

I might never ever leave this discussion board. I could mention a desire for semi-reclusive living AND firearms and I'm not run out on a board! :D To be fair, it runs in my blood. My father left Arkansas for the "big city" and lived outside Philadelphia for a while...and than retreated back to...

Everybody seems just fine. Not warming up to me as much as I had hoped, but I don't think they were handled much at their own house.

Thank you. I did have hay and newspaper in them. The other pair seem to be catching on now. The hutches I have them in do have wire floors, but I am currently keeping them in a covered chicken run- it's the shadiest part of the yard, fenced in away from the dogs, and the run is so massive I'm...

Thank you for answering my question. :) So hard to not offend anyone on the internet sometimes. It's nice to find people that understand that we can all have different opinions and actually STILL get along. I always answer honestly if someone asks me what I intend to do with any animal I...

This makes me want to go live in the woods on a mountain somewhere. With guns.

Can I ask a question? Please understand this is no way a judgement or attack, I am honestly curious and my intent is not to insult you in any way. My husband and I were talking about exactly this subject last evening. The reason we were discussing it, is that there are a lot of people selling...

Thank you for the answers, we put him down yesterday because he started to show obvious signs of pain.

Any suggestions on how to get them to use them. I have one pair happily using it, another throws it around their cage everyday.

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, because "I" personally have done a rabbit yet, but with any other animal I've had the experience with, making sure the animal is not stressed in any way exponentially increases the quality and taste of the meat. For myself, it's a two-fold reason. One...

I think he's doing worse. He's stopped playing and just sits in the corner. I gave him a day off yesterday from the salve (it was also POURING) no way would I have been able to do it without getting him soaked. The three times I went out yesterday he just looked sad. He was bopping about a bit...

Of course, now DH sees how nice he is and is suggesting we keep him and treat him, as a pet. Something like a "chicken mascot", since the chickens seem to like him. DH isn't one to feed non "working" animals. Unless you count our three dogs, of course. LOL I'll keep giving him vitamins and the...

Thank you, Wind. I really appreciate your input. It's funny, I don't have much of an issue killing animals when their purpose is for food, or putting an animal out of it's misery. But OH, the guilt when I know it's my fault because of my mistake. :(
