    weaning at 4 weeks?

    What if you take in your costs as consideration? Such as, is it cheaper to let them suckle for say 8 weeks as opposed to weening at 4 wks and feeding the mother and the rugrats feed? :idunno

    New Buck Ready to Breed in New Home?

    I recently got a new NZW buck. He is about a year old. Tomorrow will be one week in his new cage. He seems to be adjusting fine, eating and drinking and wanting a little attention when I come around. I have a friend in the area that wants to breed her doe. I was wondering is there a waiting...

    My First Set of Rabbits!!!

    @ Citylife - would it be possible to somehow add on to the hutches that I have? Or how would I go about making a little more room for them?

    Hello From Geo

    My wife and I are also considering raising the occasional pig for our own pork. I'd like to have the occasional goose, but she doesn't like that idea. So I'm going to have to slowly warm her up to that idea :P

    My First Set of Rabbits!!!

    It is about 10 feet long and 4 feet wide. 10-hole hutch with each hutch being about 24"x24"x24" And as far as it being made of wood, most of the wood they can't reach. There is an area in the buck's cage where his pee can reach some of the wood. I'll install a wire wall soon so he can't...

    What to do with Extra Feed??

    I am new to this whole raising rabbits thing. And in my haste of buying some rabbits, I stopped by the local TSC and grabbed a 50 lbs bag of rabbit feed. I only have three rabbits. I'm just now starting to think and now worry that the feed may start to mold/go bad before they will finish the...

    My First Set of Rabbits!!!

    Yes, I did build those. Took me a little while to get everything together. I got the idea design from one of the youtube guys I watch . If you search his channel for building rabbit cage, you'll find a 6 or 7 series episodes of his hutches.

    Would you ever eat a horse?

    @ Back to Nature - Cooked bones tend to break and shatter when dogs chew on them. And the sharp pieces could hurt your dog. Uncooked bones aren't as likely to break I suppose. As far as the subject of this topic, I've never had horses growing up, so I don't view them as pets. I wouldn't have a...

    Hello From Geo

    The good thing is that most of the acre is open for business. Our house is in the corner, freeing up the rest. I already have a 25'X50' area tilled up getting ready for my spring garden. And I'm looking for some good fruit trees or something to plant as well.

    Hello From Geo

    I figured I would start with rabbits. After our rabbitry is established, I'd like to get some chickens for fresh eggs and the occasional chicken soup. And maybe one day get a couple of dairy goats. Just got to take it one step at a time :D

    Hello From Geo

    Hello everyone! My wife and I recently moved away from the metro area and into rural NE Georgia. Our 'farm' (we are joining the one acre club) currently consists of no animals, yet. :( However, I am in the process of fixing this problem. Currently, I'm working on a 10-hole rabbit hutch to start...
