Calling All Rabbit Nutters

[Kiki]

Much the same. Pellet feed, veggie trimmings, grass.... toss in a helping of hay from whatever the cows are eating once a week or so.

Faster they get big.... faster I can eat em.

What kind do you raise?

Tamuk

Heat tolerant Californians basically.

Boys or girls?

They live in their own cage next to the chickens?

What's their names?

One boy one girl we are not planning on breeding though. Yes, they live in a cage next to the chickens and sometimes we let them out together. The boys name is Cottontail, girls is Flopsy. Got them from the movie Peter Rabbit

When are you going to separate them?
Or do you plan on getting one of them fixed?

The does can get pregnant at a very young age. If they are in one cage they'll need to be separated, at least until you can get them fixed at 6 months old, and they'll need at least another month or so for recovery and for hormones to fully "calm down".

They are adorable by the way. So much fluff!

Yes we are planning to get the boy neutered. They are only two months old still so in about 3 months I think.

I'm curious as to how much it cost in your area.
I have plans (crap I need to make the appointment!) To fix my rabbit in January.
I was quite shocked at just how expensive it is to fix a rabbit in my area.

I haven’t actually called a vet to confirm, but it’s around $60 to neuter and about $80 to spay

You are sooo lucky.

You are sooo lucky.

I can't even find a vet that will do it.
