Would love to see pics of other people's. We have one of each and love them both! I was told by my english lops breeder that they are horrible mothers and they really struggle with raising them Has anybody else experienced this? Or is it more likely just their line? Thanks This is lilylanes...

It seems once people found out I raise rabbit I have become the inadvertent rabbit rescue in my area. Most times I have to tell people no, as I don't have the space or resources to house many more than I have now plus the quarantine part of it is really inconvenient...but I help when I can...

I had an accidental liiter. Background info... My flemish doe(9 months) was bred THROUGH wire by my mini lop buck(the ironic thing was she was only housed beside him for 2 days while we were placing an extra piece of wire between cages so there would be a 2 inch gap). Anyways I went out one...

Anybody raising this breed? I recently visited the only "known" breeder of this breed in my province. I found them very interesting but extremely costly. Anyways would like to hear others experiences with this breed.

I hate to post this as a new thread as I am sure this info is all through this forum, but I am afraid that with my dial up....yes some places dial up is still being used ;) ... it is so difficult to look through many posts to compile all the information I need. So please bare with me on the...

Here is the scoop. We have a nubian cross.....we bought bred and she kidded triplet buckling on valentines day. These kids are due(if weaned and at proper weight) at their new homes April 14th. We just purchased a buckling. He is only 6 days old today(and still with his mom) The breeder...

What do you do if ...you want to snatch rear(cae prevention) but have no colostrum and don't think you can milk your doe(won't allow us to touch her udder?) Is their a way to make her allow me to ,ilk her, or give up and let her raise her own kids?

I have recently found an opportunity to purchase a purebred nubian doeling from a commercial dairy in my area. Usually of course doelings don't come up for sale as they use them for milk. The reason they are selling her is because she is such a small size. She was born in April and only...

I have a 3 year old doe who has kidded twins twice before. We bought her possibly bred (no idea when) but she is getting quite big and we switched her to a brand of feed called 16% "just kidding" dry dairy goat ration pellet made by Shur-Gain. I was going to give her a selenium shot but...

I recently bought some new hay for my pregnant goat its 90% alfalfa and 10% timothy. I have heard that alfalfa is good for rabbits under 6 months of age and lactating females but not for non breeding adults. So The day before yesterday I gave all the young kits(ranging in age from 6weeks to 4...

I'm new to rabbits and find sexing them a bit elusive. My newest rabbits I have been able to sex correctly. But my 14week old flemish, I hadn't sexed them I just believed they were what the breeder said they were a male and female. Well today I thought, hmmm...I should check myself. Too me...

This is my new lionhead doe. Any name suggestions.

We have a couple of flemish. Just as pets. But I was curious if they had any other purpose? I assume they grow to slow to be economical meat rabbits. They don't have special fur. So do people only keep them for show or pets? Thanks

Especially nubian/saanan but all crosses are appreciated. Thanks Tara

?Anyways to make a long horrible story short I lost my doeling yesterday morning. It was my fault. We had been away all weekend and the goats had been penned in our smaller pen(my mother feeding and watering them) When we got home I put the goats collars on to move them from the small pen...

I went out to the barn this morning to do the morning chores, my 6 month old alpine doeling (up to date on shots and deworming) Has severe liquid diarrhea. She is not running a fever but is listless. What shall I do? Besides put in a call to the vet(done, waiting to hear back)

Friends of mine have a 5 month old nubian buckling. I think he is starting to get hormonal, mounting the doellings(I suggested separating him for now). He was a sweet little guy but now he even appears to be attempting to mount or at least bully the people around him. I was offered this guy...

Today I dosed my goats with Ivermectin orally. I gave them twice the dose recommended for cattle. Which for their weight worked out to be about 1.5mls. About 10 mins after giving my goats the med my doeling threw up a good size amount of thick white plemgy stuff. Does anyone know if this...

We recently got goats and when they are older my hubby is sooo excited about milking them and drinking their milk and making cheese and goat milk fudge, and I'll just say he talks about it a lot. Anyways I feel leary about drinking it. Help me too feel better about it, or shouldn't we drink...

Okay, I got the little brown guy from some man who buys a lot of dairy goat billies in big numbers for cheap and then re sells them to make a profit. He didn't know his breed. The lighter colored one (my doeling) was sold to my husband as a buckling, he didn't know until he got her home and...
