Some mice we're hanging around to eat my chicken's feed, so I got a pest proof feeder. Now they're drinking from their waterer. Are there any pest proof waterers that allow my three chickens to drink together?
Yes! Eating and acting normal is a great sign. Sometimes shelters will have a meet and greet opportunity so that you can see if another bunny might be a good fit
By "older" how old are you talking? If she's like 6-7+ and seems really bothered by her friends death, bonding might cause more stress than it's worth. You're in a difficult situation of either gaining this rabbits trust and needing to spend a lot of time together, risk getting her a friend, or...
A bigger bantam Brahma is picking the feathers of a slightly smaller bantam Brahma, but leaves the smaller bird, an EE alone. They're already getting feather fixer, which has more protein. Should I switch to a chick feed?
One chicken has been separated from the other 2 for the last 3 weeks. we started letting them play together during yard time, and she is still going after one of them, pulling their feathers out, and eating it. WHY IS SHE EATING THE FEATHER!!!!!?????
1 of our hens was picking out the feathers of our other two. We decided to put her in a separate run next to them, and in a box in their coop at night. How long should we wait to reintroduce them? During the day they pretty much stand staring at each other ALL DAY through the hardware cloth...
Wow thats a good idea! I think that would work most times, unless the GI stasis is caused by a blockage. You can tell if its caused by gas because the rabbit will sometimes let you massage their stomach. Also it will be hard to the touch, and your rabbit will probably be hunched over in pain. If...
No, my rabbits diet will be probably 80% hay, I've just heard that straw was better, but i don't know if there's any truth behind that. The rabbits will have an 8x8 pen with that dog house thing inside. If i have the hay where the litter box is, which isn't really near the dog house, is that...
If you can't find kitten milk, cow milk with an egg yolk or heavy whipping cream can be a replacement. I've seen some people use it successfully. The thing is kitten milk is a lot more caloric and higher fat than cow milk, so you need to add calories to it
Im getting two outdoor rabbits soon, in a large pen (8x8) under my back deck. The area is completely enclosed and mostly weather proof. For a house area I want to use this dog house

But, since its basically just 4 thin peices of wood screwed...
Hi, my chickens used to do this too when they were in their smaller coop. It was there way of telling me to let them out immediately . Now the only time they do it is when they forget that they need to walk out of the door and not walk through hardware cloth lol. It's nothing to worry about...
