    Questions about bonding two pairs

    I tried them again in a neutral space and there was a little squabbling but nothing bad. It seems once they got it figured out they Were mostly OK. They would all sit together and they would eat and relax, then there would be some chasing, then back to laying down and relaxing. Is chasing ok if...

    Questions about bonding two pairs

    Mistya was a sub with her very first buddy Lulu - Lulu was VERY dominant and was actually quite mean to all other rabbits except Misty. Lulu already had cancer when she came to me (I didn't know it at the time, I got her free off Craigslist and she was so sweet to people, all she wanted was...

    Questions about bonding two pairs

    I currently have 6 lovely bunnies. In the backyard are Bugsy and Misty. Misty was originally paired with another female and they did very well together. When Bugsy's girl died he was a very sad boy, so I tried giving him diffferent female companion options and he was completely uninterested in...

    Fodder sprouting systems, anyone?

    I gave it a try and my first tray sprouted really well! But all the following trays molded and didnt grow much after the first initial sprouting. Would a fan in the trays direction help with air circulation? It's monsoon season here now so everything is hot wet and stinky so I think ill wait to...

    Only Black Kits Dying

    That actually makes a lot of sense! They are under a tree and have a misting system to help cool the area but its still hot here. I've stopped breeding for the summer so hopefully in the fall this problem won't come back. I guess I'll have to wait and see. :pancake:

    Balding Chin

    He looks ok to me. He does sneeze every once in a while but it didn't seem often enough to be more than an occasional dust sneeze. He's inside so really his only water is his water bottle. His teeth look ok too. And I haven't noticed any other hair loss on his paws or anything. How would I know...

    Balding Chin

    One of my bunnies Poppy is losing his fur on his chin. He's a huge "chinner" always rubbing everything and I was wondering if it's normal for him to rub his chin so much that he rubs all the fur off?

    Only Black Kits Dying

    She's a VERY big rabbit, so she definitely could have smothered them. They were split 5 black and 5 spotted. I just thought it was really strange that only the black ones died! The spotted ones are all doing completely fine still too. How weird! I'm glad it's not so crazy rabbit momma racism or...

    Only Black Kits Dying

    This may sound like a really dumb question but here goes! My very large blue standard rex had her second litter - her first kindling went well except that all her kits were born dead, she had suffered a close call with overheating 2 days prior to kindling. Everything seemed to go well, Misty...

    Possible Kindling Emergency

    I took your advice MamaSheepdog and move the kits to a different box. She pulled a bit more fur but mostly just dug in the box. She lost interest in a couple hours though. No more babies. Out of the 5 that were birthed alive, 2 more passed =( but the other 3 are doing very well! Getting fed...

    Possible Kindling Emergency

    She had 5 more kits! 2 were dead, but the living 5 are all doing great! Red is working really hard on her nest now and keeps shifting the babies all over. she pulled fur and nursed them all so I took the nest box out. We will keep them all inside for another day or two until I know she's done...

    Possible Kindling Emergency

    She's up and feeding them and seems completely back to normal, no more bleeding either. Hopefully if she has any more in there they will come out on their own without any more trouble!

    Possible Kindling Emergency

    I'll check if we have some TUMS, we probably do. Those pictures look very similar to her! I'm very glad it could be normal. She had another kit around 3am, alive, quite large, almost twice the size of the first kit. Usually her kits are all very similar in size, the only time she had a true...

    Possible Kindling Emergency

    Oh good! That at least makes me feel more comfortable about the baby. I submerged her back end in warm water and cleaned her up and got a better look. She loosened up alot in the water so I felt her stomach again. I'm fairly certain I feel at least two more babies, possibly 3, but I don't feel...

    Possible Kindling Emergency

    I actually saw that on another thread here with a possible stuck kit. I'm definitely comfortable trying this, but I don't know if, or for how long, I should wait? Or f I should just jump right in now? She's a very sweet girl, but she gets nervous and doesn't love being handled - although she...
