What do folks do about dead kits in burrows? One of my does kindled in a burrow and it's shallow enought that I have been able to grab out a few of the kits...
for the most part if the burrow is to shallow you will have more dead kits anyway, not enough insulation from the elements that way, so if the doe has dug...
I have always provided above ground nest boxes and the does used them instead of digging burrows. They did dig burrows but never used them for kindling. I did...
I've never had a doe or the buck kill any kits other than perhaps an accidental trampling by a first time mom. I have 2 does and 1 buck in a 25'x25' pen; did...

Hello, I am trying to find out the best way to mark my rabbits. Mine are so close to identical that I am having trouble figuring out who is who. I am also...
Depends on if you are planning to show or sell 'show' rabbits. Then they must be tattooed ( ARBA rules ). Me? I don't show, so I like metal leg bands that...
I only have 2 to 4 does to keep up with at one time in my colony. I use food coloring on mine. I can have a blue, green, red, and unmarked doe and easily...
Greg, what do the metal leg bands look like? I have some metal bands for my chickens. I am trying to figure out how they would stay on their legs. I imagine my...

Thanks for the explanation. Considering the winter months I may just try to put it in a spray bottle, so that they do not get too wet or too cold. Or I may...
