Ok for the record this is what I did and the results: Upon finding my French Angora Doe (18 months old) not hungry or thirsty, I brought her in the house to find out what was wrong. She was a bloated as a tick--her nipples were sticking out of her fur! She is shedding, so I suspected wool...

<br /><br /> -- Mon Feb 29, 2016 1:44 pm -- <br /><br /> How do I get the oil into her if she won't eat?

My angora has a tummy as tight as a drum, and a few berries stuck to her butt. How shall I treat her? I am thinking water with epsom salts...she won't eat or drink on her own.

Dood: He is a product of a cross between a Satin and an Angora. I wanted to keep this one to breed back to the Angora, the others out of the litter I butchered, and their livers were spotless (and delicious). He did breed successfully, but the kits crawled out of the nest and died, there were...

I thought it was his third eyelid, but why is it visible as a bump? He doesn't seem to be too hungry or thirsty, but he accepted greens this morning.

I have an eight month old buck that has sired a couple of kits that is now not interested in mating. Indeed, his back bone and pelvis 'stick out' and his belly or flanks are saggy. I noticed a couple of days ago, his eyes have a white bump in the corners closest to his nose. His appetite is...

I've decided to focus on fur/meat and these Satins aren't giving me the size I need. I'd like to sell them. I have a Copper Satin Doe b.August 12, 2013. I was going to pair her with a totally unrelated buck 2 year old. I'd sell the pair for $50.00 I also have a pedigreed Satin buck b. August...

here's the sire, his eyes are brownhere's the dam with brown eyes.

I can't tell if this is blue eyed or grey eyed can you?

Can you believe she is pulling fur now? I put her in a 'run' outside and she dug a hole. I thought she was getting cool (it was 97 yesterday and today). But when I put in her cage tonight, she had another hole dug and tufts of fur floating around. What gives?

I have a 2 1/2 wk old kit with nest box eye. I noticed they are out of the nest and like to stick their heads in the corner where mom has built up a mound of sticky poop and urine. I am treating the eye with chamomile tea washes. I also find the symptoms to agree with Silicea (homeopathic...

Thank you all for your kind suggestions and condolences. I keep having these 'learning curve' type experiences with my emerging rabbit herd. Ultimately, I learned not to breed my rabbits after mid-June, or November. We had record cold this past winter, many sub-zero days and nights, yet my...

Thanks so much. The weather prediction for the next four days will be in the 100's. I was hoping she would pull fur just to get relief from the heat if nothing else. As you can see from the pics, the poor little guys were fully formed and much bigger than the first one. This was day 31 of...

This is a proven doe, her third pregnancy. She tends to have large litters (13 alive and 3 abortions). She has not pulled fur and is having her kits on the wire. The first one was early afternoon-unusual, it was all cleaned up and crawling around so I put it on the hey in the nest box. 4...

So I bred the 'maned' dam with a pure French Angora, what are the odds the offspring will be maned or full angora? The other kits in this litter are not maned:
