    What kind of predator would eat the feet/legs off of baby rabbits? I have been raising rabbits here for 10 years and lately I have been finding baby rabbits in the cage dead with their feet eaten. That is all. Just the feet.

    I read here that turkeys need more protien in their diet than chickens do. It was also mentioned that feeding them hardboiled eggs would raise the protien. Can I feed them raw eggs and get the same result?

    doe with hard udder

    My doe freshened 3-4 days ago and 1/2 of her udder is harder than the other half. I don't know if it is mastitis or not. I have been milking her 2-3 times a day and don't really see any difference in the hard side. It is maybe a bit softer today. My question is--If mastitis does not hurt the...
