  mulberry
I'm glad to see that someone else thinks mulberries are a crop. I used to live in England and I had a 500 year old mulberry tree. Beautiful and fertile as well. How do you house your rabbits?

  growths on rabbits
hi, wanted ask a question about a growth on a rabbit? With 49 yrs of farm, hopefully you can answer? We have some New Zealand rabbits. I noticed that my buck had this bloody spot on his side. At first i thought he caught it on something in the cage. Then it looked more like a hole so I then thought it was a wool-worm. But after holding him down, it's like a growth and he must be scratching and it? It doesn't seem to hurt him when i touch it..but then again how would he let me know?? I've never seen anything like this, not sure really what to do? Where I live we don't really have a "farm" vet. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks~

  Your rabbits
Do you show your rabbits too? I love my rabbits, I raise Lionheads. I had English Angoras a few years ago. They were fun but a lot of work!

Come visit me, Cyprus Lake Ranch.
