Rabbit Waste Management
You can add braggs vinegar to the water, or just scrape your floor and put a liberal coat of lime down once a week, add ventilation to remove the ammonia.- gokittygo

Rabbit breeding
A fall off isn’t really necessary as long as contact is made. Some bucks are less dramatic. Give your doe her 2 weeks and see if she delivers. She’s rejecting the buck now because she is/thinks she is bred.- gokittygo

Rabbit breeding
Welcome! Why do you feel that she is having a false pregnancy? How long ago did you first expose her to the buck? Is there any chance she is actually bred? Have you turned her over and examined her vent? If it’s pale, she’s not interested. If it’s dark purple-y red she is ready.- gokittygo

Bunny Problems
When I’ve had cage aggressive bunnies I move them to different cages every other day. They tend to get over themselves pretty quickly.. in regards to arguing about her grooming- take her into a different area. I had one buck that was a perfect angel if I groomed him outside-but was a holy terror...- gokittygo

I wanted to add that my svart honas were a month old when I bought them-the same as my ee chicks- the guy admitted they were still in the brooder and under heat- they were barely feathered. 3 weeks later, they are almost as feathered as my ee. -

I season my chicks —as soon as the daytime temps are above 70f they go outside during the day, and after a week or so, I turn the heat lamps off. I find that they feather up pretty good once they start going outside -

I need to move my keeper chicks into the coop, they’re 8-12 weeks old, I’m almost out of medicated chick feed, can I switch them to layer feed or should I put everyone on an all-flock feed? I could put down chick and layer, but there’s no separating it...
