Today, driving through Brunswick, we went by a bakery that may require a stop next grain run. I just saw a flash of a sign and some hopping bunnies. The place was called, "Bun Bun's Bakery". Who knows what might be inside???
British Angora's wool is silkier than their U.S. counterparts.
To help airflow in the rabbitry, don't place cages up against the outer walls.
You should have a thermometer in the rabbitry. We have a wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer that works well. Use the more expensive lithium batteries because they are much stronger, last longer and aren't sensitive to the cold. Try to have light colored roofing to deflect heat. On our old rabbitry that had a white corrugated type of roof, using a water hose would bring the temperature down about 10 degrees in a short amount of time. Having light colored walls helps brighten the rabbitry. We used OSB "chip boards" to line the rabbitry walls and painted them light blue. Using high gloss paint makes it easier to sponge off when the bucks decide they are "P-casso's". It's that time of year for Farmer's Market to be putting out a lot of produce. Make sure if you buy carrots for yourself or your bunnies, that any carrot tops you give to them are safe. You don't want any that have been sprayed with pesticide. Ask the seller and if they are unsure at all, do not give them to your bunnies.
A doe's eggs have been recorded as the largest size eggs for a mammal. Perhaps this is due to the necessity of a quick gestation cycle?
Did you know that research using guinea pigs led to the cure for diphtheria? Blood products from immunized animals could treat diphtheria in humans. This opened up a whole field of research and new immunizations for humans.
