  As a rabbit keeper, one of the most delicate times is kindling — when does give birth and care for their kits. Supporting their health naturally can make a huge difference in stress levels, milk production, and overall success. One of my favorite easy remedies is raspberry leaf tea mixed with molasses , frozen into convenient ice cubes.

How to Break Down a Rabbit: Easy Tips to Get Started

(This is what gives these animals their impressive reach and leaping ability!) The only real joints you need to break are the thigh/pelvis, and those snap and roll out pretty easily once you free the muscle around them. You will need: A good sharp filet knife.

It killed seven more birds, including our awesome Australorp roo. RIP Larry. It undid all the hard work we had done the day before like it was nothing. We rounded up the five remaining hens—a three-year-old Australorp, a seven-year-old Barred Rock, and three seven-year-old Sapphire Gems. A little worse for wear, but alive. We tucked them into an unused rabbit tractor and moved them daily across the grass, locking them up at night in the carport with the young chicks inside the “Cape Cod House” (a cute little movable coop I found on Amaz...
