    Bunny and cold temps

    Yeah temp is going to be maybe 10 belowish but wind supposed to be -60. His hidey lean to is full of straw and out of wind. But the rest of the hutch is not - has mesh bottom and cracks between walls and ceiling. He has to come out to eat and drink. Water has electric warmer. We wouldn't bring...

    Bunny and cold temps

    This is our first winter with an outdoor bunny in a hutch. He has a small space filled with straw, a sorta "hidey hole". The next 2 days are going to stay below zero, down to about -10 or -15. Should i bring him into our basement? Anyone experienced with outdoor rabbits?

    Skinny bunny

    Thanks for your comments. Buried him this morning... :( In reply, no worms in stool sample per vet. No, no runny eyes or anything else at all that seemed wrong. So frustrating. Had to be sick, infection, something wrong inside. I figured if he had anything like that the other one would have...

    Skinny bunny

    Well, I think he's not going to make it :( We seperated him to see if the other one was bullying him. He ate/drank/pooped normally. We thought he would fatten back up and be fine. But he's actually continued to drop weight, and I don't think he can get up. Expecting him to be gone this...

    Skinny bunny

    Their hutch is in the enclosed covered chicken run. I don't know the percents in regular rabbit feed pellets. The other bunny is doing fine on it. He figured out the new heated waterer mechanic before the other one did. I don't know when it started, how long it took him to drop it. But I'm...

    Skinny bunny

    Maybe will have to order a 2nd heated water bottle and put the divider back in. But I like them snuggled together for warmth in the winter. And if they are together they do not each have only half the space and can have access to the full chicken run (probably not til spring though).

    Skinny bunny

    Of what? Just of the bunnies? He's been to the vet and looks fine. Just underweight. 4.2lbs, she said he should be around 5lbs. And he was not like this when we got him. Can't tell by looking, but you can feel the spine bones sticking out when petting him.

    Skinny bunny

    Daughter got 2 male bunnies in the spring. They were not friends, but after living together in the same hutch with a divider screen down the middle for months we tried them together. One established dominance and now they don't fight and snuggle together. Don't see any problems between them. But...

    What to do about chickens eating eggs?!

    I guess it would be hard to tell with the litter (hay, leaves, etc) in the bottom of the boxes. Also when they were laying outside the boxes wouldn't know where to look for wet spot

    What to do about chickens eating eggs?!

    Thanks for help with detective work. But I'm not seeing any suggestions how to stop egg eating...so there's really nothing can be done? Yes, the boxes are high and eggs can't be rolled out. Below freezing, no snakes. They were laying outside of the boxes, so we started leaving a couple eggs in...

    What to do about chickens eating eggs?!

    Some are not laying. But I've seen eggs disappear too. Seem them in the nest box, then come back to get them when done with other chores to take inside and gone!

    Chicken losing feathers??

    We thought they were moulting and growing new feathers. We have read they do that late fall. But it seems pretty late in the year. Winter is here for sure and they are still dropping some. These are white leghorns a year and a few months old. Most of them look OK but 2 are pretty raggedy. Only 1...

    What to do about chickens eating eggs?!

    Well we object because we want the eggs to eat and sell! We have 12 chickens. 6 white leghorns we hatched last summer. And 6 other breeds we got from feed store this past spring, only 1 of whom is laying so far. One or more of them are who we believe are eating eggs. No wet spots, no shells...

    What to do about chickens eating eggs?!

    Eggs have been disappearing! Finally figured out one or more chickens is eating them :( I can't think how I can prevent that other than trying to run out frequently and collect as often as possible...

    Bunnies can't figure out heated water bottle

    They are sort of just licking the underside. They aren't bumping the little stick on top and aren't getting any water out. ... The ball one drips really easily, basically just touch it at all and get a lot of water out. The new one they need to move that stick...
