Comment on Why Californian rabbits are so popular by William N. Grigg

Rabbit is a high-protein food, and I understand the need to dispense with sentimentality where self-sufficiency is concerned. The principle of the thing notwithstanding, I’d rather starve than kill and eat a creature this cute. I suppose my scruples would dissolve in a survival situation.

Comment on Supercharge Your Herd with Altex Rabbits by Ryan Doherty

I breed Altex and there are Does sold. I purchased mine from a breeder that got their original breeding stock from one or the doctors that designed the breed. I would be very cautious when purchasing ANY breeding rabbit, make sure they have Excellent records and can tell you exactly what you are purchasing. Altex and Californians look a lot alike, most Altex have more grey markings and are not as dark as Californians. My crossbreed Altex/NZW grow out 7-10 days faster or 1-1.5 lbs heavier at the 10 wk mark. Altex does are not good mothers as a rule of thumb and they are harder to get bred.

Comment on What you need to know about rabbit cages by Trishanna

I’ve found a great difference in different kinds of wire on their feet. The 1/4″ square galvanized hardware cloth, which I was advised to buy, is horrible for them. The wire I use now is stronger, 1/4 x 1/2 grid, and smooth to the touch. I rub my hands over it to test the surface. This is also strong enough for the bucks not to tear up (I’ve found bucks to be VERY destructive of lighter wire, even though mine are house in large cages). I also give them wooden platforms to lie on and chew on, and in the summer I often give them large ceramic tiles (sometimes cooled in the freezer) to help them keep their temps down. They really need a resting board of some sort to give them a break from the wire. I use the lighter wire now inside the sides for about the lower six inches to keep babies from falling through my breeding doe cages, since I use a larger hole opening for the sides.

Just a thought for those who don’t like to use hardware cloth on the floor of their cages.
I placed large porcelain tiles on the floor of my cages smaller than the cage. Most of the little bits would still fall out the flooring around the edges so your cage will stay cleaner than a solid floor. The porcelain tiles will not hold odors and are easy to clean
