Thanks! I'm gonna leave them out.

Thanks. There are no drafts in there and there is a lot of fur. I really don't want to take the nest box out of the cage b/c I want them to feed. I have heard that some folks take the box out at night with no problems. The rabbitry close to me has rabbits in a barn and she has some 2 day old...

I finally had a doe kindle! She is a Jersey Wooly and she just had 3 babies last night. My first impressions are that they are doing well. I have some concerns though. 1. I never see her in the nest box. Does she slip in there from time to time to feed them when I'm not around? 2. I have...

The shoulder stuff I'm not so clear on.

Well mine is a JW monster. My new buck is tiny and has really small ears. Maybe I need to focus on the ears b/c what I've noticed at shows is that the better JWs have the little, rounded ears and the bigger ones all seem to have longer, more pointed ears. Been looking at a lot of the winner...

How can you tell the difference between a false and a true dwarf? I have a big one I just petted out that a breeder said was not a dwarf. I weighed him and he was overweight, but not fat. He doesn't eat much at all. Just picked up a herd sire that is much smaller and has overall better...

Thanks. But I really want info on how to determine a cull from a keeper. I'm not talking about disqualification faults, but more on size, conformation, and wool quality.

Hi. Was wondering if anyone could (would?) share their experiences with criteria for culling Jersey Wooly jrs.

I have these Jersey Woolies I'm trying to breed. Bred one doe twice today and he did the deed both times no problem. Bred another doe today and the first time she lifted great and he bred her. The second time she got aggressive and actually attacked the buck. I don't leave rabbits together...

Yeah I'm gonna leave the box in there for a few days.

I hope she has some. Our family is really excited and we will be bummed for sure if she shoots a blank.

I bred my female jersey Wooly exactly one month ago today. She started pulling hair and building a nest yesterday. She has pulled out A LOT OF HAIR! When can I expect kits? I checked on her at lunch and she is just hanging out outside the nest box. I have never bred rabbits before so I...

Thanks all. Still kinda bummed.

I just noticed my Jersey Wooly Jr doe has long, protruding bottom tooth. I was hoping to show her but not sure now. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? She is not very old, maybe 5 months.<br /><br />__________ Tue Apr 02, 2013 10:58 pm __________<br /><br />Okay. Found out this...

Thanks.
