did you get the Matrix problems figured out? everyone in their right burrow? how is everyones Colonys commeing along? its been awfully quite in here...
Well, nothing like the downpours only Oregon can deliver to stop everyone from digging to China. You should see them, shaking their paws, "oh! oh! wet dirt,...
i think cutting back on the number of breeding does in each enclosure would help, how many do you have in them now? i think three does is plenty in a run...
... Well, as for me, a month or so ago, I heard the squeaks of babies and found one dead newborn that had been pulled out of the holes, but none have appeared...
Oh, I'm so sorry. It's just so wonderful to see the little ones. It may be that the new Moms weren't very good at their firs litter. Maybe their second will...
WOW! Only 3 does to 20x25 area?!? Guess I better build more kennels. I have 5 to 6 does per kennel in 1 and 2. Matrix 3 has only 3 does. Can't say it's...
Sorry, I have been very absent here, busy with personal things, work, deciding on going back to school and getting that done and major email problems (half of...
The sod will help the dirt hold together, think of re-bar in concrete or the strands of fiber glass in FRP. Put the females in a separate pen, then at about 1...
I know with caged rabbits it's a good idea to check on them very soon so you can get rid of any dead ones if necessary but I think in a colony setting you...
sounds like they are doing their jobs well, you can look in and count them and check for any dead ones but other than that i would leave them alone, it...
ok what is the dementions of your kennels? grass roots will hold the dirt togather and make a more stable roof its just like when people plant something on...
Well, I have 7 and 8 in each litter and there were 2 dead from each litter. The one still has the umbilical cord and it's stomach looked raw. There is one that...
Ok, I understand. And yes, I guess they could be stressed out from too many kids running around. I have separated out the juniors to see if that helps, if...
how old are the juniors? when i get my set up going (once school is over) i want to try several diffeint ways, just to see if my theorys actually are possible...
If the mother sensed something wrong with it and was trying to kill it, she would have succeeded. Most likely the damage was done by the other rabbits, but I...
Now the whole other litter has died (7) when I went out tonight. One was covered in bright red blood, pretty fresh, but I couldn't see any damage at all to the...
you moved them out of their box BEFORE they died? prolly not the best idea, but then if the card board box was not holding up i can understand you wanting to...
The juniors range from 3 to 10 weeks old depending on the litter. They were all mixed together until the other day when I went back to segregating them. The...
The short answer is: I don't know. But having lost a few babies and llitters in the past few years, it's something that is unavoidable at times. Sometimes...
... them to the ... abandoned it, ... THat plus the ... ************************* Linda, I have rubbermaid boxes with holes cut in the side, but I left the ...
i think the hill is a good idea, but i would watter the dird down and back it so it will hold togather, also what about putting a pice of pipe into the side...
... ******************** My boxes are rectangular, rather than square, and are fairly large. I think they are like the one you have in your Picture #7 "Jrs....
Thanks. With all the rain we are getting now, it would make sense to hae something coverin a hole to a tunnel. I put 2 small bins out and will go get some...
You know, I can help be wonder about putting a sheet of plywood down , with a hole or two cut out of the middle, to give a place for the rabbits to start...
thats an enteresting idea, you could also put the sheet down with a short piece of pipe thats the right diameter stuck in at an angle then put dirt down thick...
Presently waiting for the rabbits to discover the upside down bins. No digging yet. No digging anywhere actually. Guess with the cold weather coming in, I...
I have to bring my colony into cages in the winter as the only area I have outside gets terribly wet in the winter and the tarps / shade cloth freeze when it...
I'm up to my earlobes in mud! I forgot how much I hate using straw for bedding, it gets matted and heavy and a nightmare to clean up. And that's what I first...
is your land in a low area? do you have a high spot you can use? do you have drainage problems? guessing from what you have said i would say you do. what i...
