    Using plastic 30 or 55 barrels for rabbit housing

    It would probably work for birds, but rabbits will definitely chew.

    whats the best rabbit for begginers to produce meat?

    My Chin momma has been the best. My Cali/NZ does were terrible & went to freezer camp. I think it had to do w/ where I got them though & the breeding habits of those I got them from.

    Going rate on Cali's

    I can't even sell mine. But, they are not purebred. They are a Cali/NZ X Chin. Posted on Craigslist, both litters & a few emails, but no offers. Well, we're feeding ourselves (some anyhow).

    Blue Eyed Chin?

    I don't know anything about rabbit genetics (or genetics in general). I have one Chin kit that has blue eyes. Mom is a Chin & dad is a Calif x NZ. Is this odd? Should I keep it (don't know yet if it's a buck/doe)? The rest seem to have brownish eyes.

    Do they FLOP around after using the ZINGER? The broomstick worked, but there was definite flopping. Ugh!

    Babies Eyes Opening

    We had 2 chin kits that their eyes were'nt opening. I did the daily warm compress & slowly assisting it open. It worked for one, but the other still has one eye that is not opening. Do I just continue? See how it thrives? They are meat rabbits, so it's not going to the vet. Any other ideas...

    Poop!

    Our Chin Mama has poop that often doesn't fit through. Doesn't seem to matter if she currently has kits or not. Sorry, hope that's not a downer comment. She's a big bunny though, not sure how big yours are.

    Your rabbit setups??

    Wow! That is sweet. I was going to use corrugated roofing under the cage. Thanks for the cleaning head-up. Now I'm thinking Linoleum, often can get some cheap on craigslist.

    Hay...

    We've fed alfalfa in the past w/o any problems. I have read here that for does & growing bunnies it's fine, but not to give it to bucks or adult does who you don't plan on breeding. ??

    Safe for rabbits?

    I would THINK turnips would be fine, in moderation. Sometimes too many treats can give them the runs. The more experienced should chime in at any time. :)

    OMG 13 kits.........no way

    How fun! Good luck. :) Our Chin mama had 10 just before we bought her, 12 last time & 7 this time. We haven't bred her offspring doe that we have from the litter of 10 yet. This month probably........

    7 Kits this time

    I don't think I'm going to take too many pics of our meat animals anymore. I get really sad when I look at pics of my goaties that went in the freezer. They were such cutie patooties. :hit :) :) I may take pics of our outdoor set-up, but it definitely is a poor man's set-up.

    I thought you'd have to have a really GOOD greenhouse to grow plantain up there. :)
