    Rabbit Aviary Pen

    Quote: I only wean colony rabbits that early, and only because I want them to live. They go in a special junior cage and get special feed. This is why I like to have does kindle in cages and I try to select for long-lactating, tolerant does. I like my babies to be nursed for 6 or 7 weeks for...

    Rabbit Aviary Pen

    Quote: I may not agree with weaning early, but I think you are right about does that will kill any young that are not theirs. I had a doe that did that years ago when a kit would escape its cage and get into hers. Does tend to be very territorial, and could easily hurt a young rabbit that they...

    Rabbit Aviary Pen

    As pointed out in other posts, letting your animals roam free around your farm is not free ranging. that is setting them free, and its also illegal. You'd better hope you don't get caught with rabbits running loose one of these days. They can also carry diseases, be picked off by predators and...

    For those of you who have rabbits and keep them outside?

    Its good that you aren't going to follow the let them run free advice. Here is more of my yard pens. I actually expanded the one. Something to consider using in case you do cage the bunny inside. I really like the rabbit cages posted above too. Those are really nice you guys.

    For those of you who have rabbits and keep them outside?

    Quote: Your bunnies are very lucky. Most can't handle veggies like that and need pellets. They are OK without them as long as you they are getting the right amount of nutrition. It takes a lot of knowledge to keep them healthy like that on a non pellet diet.

    For those of you who have rabbits and keep them outside?

    *With rabbits it all depends of how they are raised as babies as to how they will be when they get big. You can house them in hutches and the size of the hutch depends on the size of the rabbit. If you were going to let them out of their hutches they would need to be in a super secure area that...

    Rabbit Aviary Pen

    If you are new to rabbits its best you keep them housed in a building in their own cages for now. until you get some experience with them. The camgrounds should not be letting their rabbits run loose since they can pick up diseases, and be picked off by predators. Its a wonder they aren't...

Plus you take chances of them getting VHD, an extremely deadly disease that ha spopped in the US in the last couple of...

    Where did you buy your rabbit?

    the best place to get a rabbit at is a rabbit show. www.arba.net. Look and see if there are any in your area. You can find pet quality rabbits for cheap at just about any show. Most are held during the day at the county fair grounds. Some of the sumer shows may be held at night.
