It was a baby bunny that hac gotten attacked by some kind of animal and we are rehabilitating it. I ended up giving the baby rabbit a very low dose of tetracycline. That has seemed to make the difference!! Thanks anyway though!! The scratches on his head and nose and ears are going away too!!

I have a baby bunny that I just got and he looks like at one point he became wounded. So I want to give him just a general antibiotic for precaution. I know for chickens you them garlic so what for baby bunnies? Need help asap

We just got a baby Rabbit about 4 weeks old or so. I want to clean it out of any infection or health issue it may have. It's a little beat up so I just want to be safe. I want to do a home remedy like with our chickens we gave them a little garlic on the water to clear them of worms. What can...

Thanks so much!! This was all great!! I did try one of my goats only because I knew he could get away if he needed too and Gus reacted very badly to his presence. He has in fact paced so much being alone that he has worn a line in the side of his pen. I do think that a mini something or standard...

I just bought my first Miniature Donkey named Gus He is 6 years old and a stud. Gus lives in a large enclosed area all by himself. He has never lived alone before, he has always had a mini horse or buddy. Today is his first day with us and he has paced a little bit and brayed a little bit as...

I had four Pekin Ducks at one point but a raccoon got three of them. Our last one we decided to integrate with our chickens which has a much more secure pen. The chickens love her! Sadly we have gotten an unexpected cold snap and one of our chickens contracted pneumonia. We have removed the...

Blondie- The horse bedding is exactly what we use for our goats and exactly what we would use for the girls!!! Im glad to hear that even though yours went through the "rebellious" faze, they are kind again:) About how long did it last and any other tips to get through it??:)

Amiga- One more time, tell me a little more about this water management thing please. I can already tell Im not excited about them thinking Im an axe murder. hahaha About how long does this awful stage last?? hahaha!! We are changing our plans a little bit. Instead for the next couple weeks we...

What is really good ways to start bonding with them? I want them to grow up and be as social as possible, because we have a lot of visitors!!! Any tips?!?!

Im thinking Lucy and Ethel!! haha Two of our hens are named Laverne and Shirley. It only fits!!! hahahaha!! I went to my feed store that I normally go to and kinda tested them. I asked what I should get for the babies (knowing right well what I really need) and they told me exactly what everyone...

Sounds perfect!!! Thank you so much!! I cannot wait!!! Our hens lay eggs and are on a higher calcium diet too. So we are getting more used to dealing with that and what to watch for. But Im sure Ill still be full of questions!! hahaha Thanks again!!!:)

Thank you so much!!! I totally believe you, I am now against putting them together. I just got off the phone with Metzer and changed to 2 girls!! lol The two ladies will be here the ninth as well, Metzer was so great!!! I asked him a few questions and they had NO problem changing my order! At no...

Thank you so much!! Ive read a lot of people having problems with their feed stores giving false information. We have other farm animals, so we know them well. We are lucky, they seem to be pretty knowledgeable and accurate. (For the most part) But thank you for the warning, Ive seen so many...

Thanks Judy!! I was still aware of the temp. thing. We had to watch it with my goats when they were two weeks old but even worse my parrot when he was a baby. The heat lamps and tarps are our best friends!! I knew to have everything read when they came home but didnt think about having the lamps...

Thanks Amiga!! The dogs and ducks wont be meeting for a while!! hahaha When they do meet it will be through nice (intruder proof;) cage doors. We are constantly bringing new animals here (just like the hens who got here 4 days ago) so the dogs are constantly having to make "friends." But I...

Kevin- Thank you!! I did hear that the males might try to mate with the hens. That bridge will be crossed if and when we get there. hahaha!! But its worth a shot:) Niacin? Do you know if I could purchase something like that at my local feed store? Sorry for all the questions, but I wanna make...

Amiga- You were so sweet and helpful, thank you!! They will be kept in an unheated/uncooled garage or shed. The dog cage is your typical dog cage, it was built for a golden retriever. My largest golden is 95lb. and I could still put him inside it. They might possibly need two heat lamps due to...

Redsox- (Go Boston!) I talked to Metzers a little bit today too, they were very helpful with the few questions I had. He suggested to put their cages next to each other in the beginning so they can be able to observe one another. They said that would help with bringing them together as I know...

Im purchasing just two, male, Pekin ducklings (for now) and have been reading information on them like CRAZY!! The boys hatch January 7th and will arrive January 8th or 9th! I was planning on keeping them in an a large dog cage with bedding at the bottom in the beginning. It would have a water...

Hi! Im doing research because I too am purchasing two baby ducklings! I just read that some feed stores will try to give you chicken feed for your ducklings. Someone claimed not to allow the ducks to be on chicken feed because some of the vitamins in the feed wont help your ducks (or be harmful)...
