Rabbits on a pasture - what good it is

At the beginning of the last century, publications were published, which talked about keeping rabbits in the aviary. The authors noted that this method is advantageous, more natural, has many advantages. Released animals are changing eyes. Disappearance and apathy disappear in some, nervousness and resentment in others. High jumps, zigzags and jogging…

Only then do you notice that the real rabbit is a smart and intelligent creature, perfectly adapted to life at large: sensitive ears, elastic paws, precise movements, instant reaction, orientation is unmistakable. But cell-free retention, despite its benefits, has not spread. The reason for this was the illiterate use of this method in rabbit breeding. The rabbits were released where they lacked forage, left without security and veterinary supervision, without feeding, without shelter, etc. The offspring perished in the burrows that were flooded with water, destroyed by predators. Although in the past century in some farms used aviaries and walking for rabbits, but gradually in the manuals about this method of their maintenance mentioned less often and finally completely forgotten. And the method is interesting. So let's take a closer look at it.

Most of them breed Californian rabbit. And i have a Gray Gigant rabbit and Red-haired New Zealand rabbit.

My bunny story

                  My bunny's  name is of course chubbi and she is an unknown breed. I'm a pretty sure she is a bunny that is fairly common its just I haven't taken her in to the vet to get her breed determined. Aside that Lets get started on my story about chubbi.

So I got chubbi Friday November 15th 2013 I remember it like it was yesterday. It was such an exciting day that day I didn't even know I was going to get one. Me and my little sister were upstairs and playing around I had this stuffed animal bunny that I loved I would even dislike mom hitting it or throwing it. It really meant that much to me. So my mom came in the room with a computer and was showing me bunnies and said which do I like there were actually not that  many to pick from. There was a dwarf one I wanted that they said was loving and a girl but it got taken. There were lion heads and not a lop which is one I still one I really love. By the way we searched from craigslist. So after all the searching I saw chubbi there were some black and some white, although I do love white bunnies not with the red eyes though. I instantly picked chubbi. So I confirmed with dad and as he was on the game he said yes. I was really happy my mom called the guy and he said she was still available so I was even more in excitement. I got dressed and we were on our way to get her. :) Before we could get her we got the address and it didn't go through on the gps and I was getting a little worried but she called then confirmed then got it right. After that we still didn't get her we had to go to the store and get things for her we went to Wal-Mart and got a cage which was expensive then a hamster like water bottle, some food, some litter and a food bowl. It all came to 100 dollars plus she was $20. We then didn't get her we had to go get my little brother and sister from school the second we did that then we headed off to get my new little buddy. The place was like 30 minutes away in the middle of nowhere it was weird long one road and some lamas and stuff it looked like a deserted house or something in a movie. We still proceeded and the younger two in the car had asked where we were going we told them and they were happy as well. Got to the house and saw a man standing with a bin under him. We went up and saw at least 7 bunnies in one bin. He said he had lots of animals like rats and 50 snakes! There were like 2 blacks 2 whites  and 2 something else then chubbi she was the only different one so the different person I am I chose her. I was smiling from ear to ear I was very happy. We went home she was on my lap so small and cute I didn't even see her tail which is now as fluffy as cotton. We  put together her cage and all her stuff she roamed around her new surrounding but was very shy I just sat and observed her

Sadly I had dance that night for 1 hour I believe that day. I asked if everyone can babysit her and make sure she was ok until I got back I couldn't wait until I got back home to see her. I dance did my practice and came back home. I didn't even want to eat because I wanted to be with her. That night I stayed with her and watched her talked to her and tried to bond although I had never really researched much about bunnies except they hop.So I learned everything from experience. She was so shy I saw girl on like pinterst with their bunnies taking selfies and their bunnies were so cute with them but I dint realize it would take time to bond with her. I was a little saddened I thought I got a shy sad bunny. She was shy and a little concealed for about 3 months. I honestly think personality of an owner reflects on the animal Chubby is just like me she i outgoing loving and cuddly. She is expressive and It so cute to see some of the things she does to tell me certain things. I love Chubbi and thank you mom for giving me and helping me with her and for the payments you made for her and helping me every step of the way.  I enjoyed every moment of that day and would do it all again. I hope soon or one day to make a q and a video or blog  for her :)

Her first bath 

she got in the middle of our card game to be petted.

        I love my bunny and she means a lot to me she brings new joys everyday and sometimes can be a pain in the butt, but overall she is amazing.

Breeds of rabbits. Beverens.

Beverens - nice rabbits for nice people.

Size: 8-12 pounds
Type of body: long erect ears, pear-shared body, dense coat of black, white (or blue)

Beverens rabbits. Photo by raisingrabbitsformeat.com

I would like to tell you about Beveren rabbits. The Beveren rabbit is a rare breed. They are well tempered, clean, and smart. Beverens are full of energy, and love to explore the outdoors. They are recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in three different colors, Black, Blue, and White. The coat should be dense and glossy with a gentle rollback fur type. Fur length is rather long having an average of 1¼ to 1½ inches. Sometimes this large breed has a pronounced mandolin shape with mature bucks at 8 to 11 pounds and does at 10 to 12 pounds. Their litters are large, the young grow fairly fast, and the does are typically docile and make good mothers. (Wikipedia)

Comparatively speaking, the Beveren standard as printed in the ARBA "Standard of Perfection" remains very much the same in type and structure as that originally developed long ago. However, one major difference is that the ARBA only recognizes black, blue, and blue-eyed varieties in the American Beveren. Also, our British counterparts place a great emphasis on color and coat quality unlike other countries, including the United States, who award twice the percentage the British award for type, which remains for coat and color is consequently less.

Small Beveren rabbits

However, due to the limited number of Beverens in the United States, many American fanciers have begun importing stock from Britain to alleviate some of the problems associated with constant in-breeding. Therefore, breeders are hopeful that the Beveren will continue to gain popularity in the United States and continue its development. Do you know any info about Beveren rabbits?

Breeding rabbits in a pit

Hello, my Dear readers!

Today I tell you about breeding a rabbits in a pit. In general in the east of Europe people bred rabbits in a hutch. I think that don't only in East Europe but and worldwide. Breeding a bunnies in a pit seems us as something strange. But if understand the details, this is a better way breeding "animals with big ears" than breeding  in hutch. Now I tell you why.

Black and grey rabbits in a pit

In nature, rabbits do not live in cages. In nature, rabbits do not live in cages. In nature rabbits live in the fields, where was digs a hole. When rabbits digging their tunnels, they looking for useful materials, especially chalk. Make dig a hole in compared has a very low cost than make a hutch. 

You are thrifty when handling small amounts of money, you will have much. © Proverb

During the construction of the pit should choose a place where there is a strong underwater waters. Particular attention should be paid to spring snowmelt flood because your hole for rabbits. 

You must first divide the square on the area 2x2 meters. Then dig a depth of 2 meters. Do not make a shallow hole, for rabbits will run away and you have to catch them. The walls of the pit Put bricks. One wall of the post hole at a distance of 15-20 cm from the ground. This will be the beginning of a hole. Further rabbits themselves continue this hole. Out of the hole should be only one - it will be easier to care for rabbits, catch them and clean the hole.

Distance of 15-20 cm from the ground

It's basic, what I wanted to tell today. If you have any questions - leave them in the comments to the article.

Care decorative rabbits

Hello everyone! How are you? Hope is good, because the window real spring! Today would like to ask you about decorative rabbits. Did you get ever at home small, decorative rabbits? How to care for them? Where to buy, what price? All these questions are very interested in me, I hope that you will help me.

Decorative rabbit

I think that taking care of decorative rabbits, not much different from the ordinary care of rabbits. Especially with regard to, food. Another thing to hold, decorative rabbits should keep the yard in cages. Only at home!

Mmm... Nice! =)

Decorative Rabbit hutch should be subject to a cleaning every day. House of privacy are cleaned once a week. Periodic general cleaning slots your pet. For this you need hot water and low potassium permanganate solution. Do not try to use detergents and cleaning products, odor and the remains of an adverse effect on the health of the rabbit.

Having a cell in an apartment, avoid drafts, make sure that it was far from heaters and batteries. Direct sunlight is also not desirable for the rabbit. Do not install the cage above the soil surface, a rabbit can fall and break.

Beautiful Czech rabbit hutch

Hi all! Today in morning I "walked" in internet and found beautiful hutch for rabbit. Now in Ukraine very cold, winter in our land very severe. But through one month will come spring. So I must prepare new hutch for rabbit. I want to build a three-story cage, therefore I searched them in Internet. In Czech Internet-resources very large selection these huts. My choice was to this house for rabbits:

House for rabbits from Czech Republic

 This rabbit hutch is spacious, reliable and beautiful. The cell is made of wood (and plywood), metal mesh and metal roof. The roof saves rabbits from rain, snow and sun. On the roof can also be dried grass.Below rabbit hutch is mounted on four legs (with wood).

 

A side view for rabbit cage

In one of side Czech hutch for rabbit are feeder. There can be stored animal feed. But these metal parts not for this. When you brush your rabbit hutch, you pull the plywood and all its contents poured into metal parts. This saves time on cleaning.
Our rabbits need a lot of space to jump and walk (unless he is walking on the ground). Construction hutch for rabbit will force us work, but we can handle and we will be happy to self made cage for rabbit.
This is what I wanted to tell today! Add your homes for rabbits in the comments!
