yes, she had feces stuck to her legs and back side and there were large clumps of it in the cage. it looked like everything in her entire gut came out. Her stomach is even a little indented. I don't know when she died but she was stiff as a board this morning. Last night at feeding hubby said...

I emailed the breeder just to see if there had been other issues with the other babies she's sold. I've had her since the 5th so I think I'm out of any grace period of replacement. Though, I too am thinking this is an organic issue. Even her fur (angora) wasn't growing at the rate the white was...

the only thing I can think is that I did buy a new hay bale. It was a timothy/alfalfa mix instead of straight timothy I was buying before. The other doe is noticably bigger in size since we got her. This one hadn't grown really at all. I shoudl have weighed her so I could know for sure. I did...

I think I might just be having bad luck with rabbits or maybe choose ones that aren't good and the breeders are happy to get them off their hands -while they cross their fingers behind their backs that everythings ok. A few months ago I bought a brother/sister pair and the doe died within 4...

I could never get a drop spindle to work for me. but yesterday took a 6 hr spinning class and brought home a wheel! My first venture w/the angora will be to card it with some Merino. Hopefully I'll get as good as Riverpines :)

thanks everyone! And thanks Miss M letting me know I'm not horrible for this happening! Or that he has some exotic rabbit disease that makes his nails pop off. (I'm a tad paranoid.) It's been a week and he's doing great! Granted I have to look at his feet from under the cage cause he's pissed at...

OMG soooo adorable!!!!

congrats!!!

he's for fiber, not showing so we're good on that. I checked on him this morning and he's moving around, doesn't seem to be favoring the leg at all and he's cleaned himself off all the blood. He looked like a derranged carnivore with blood smeared all over his mouth and nose. I think it'll be...

it looks like the entire nail, not the toe I don't think. He's skittish and won't let me get close to see. It looks like when he jumped off me maybe the nail got caught on something and ripped off. He wasn't really scared when he did it but I let him go to AVOID injury to both him and me. I'm...

I was trimming Duncan my Angora and he jumped from my lap and I didn't notice right then but when I put him back in his cage he was bleeding! His entire nail was hanging from his foot and bleeding. I dont' know what to do! Will it close up on its own, he's licking and tending it (and smearing...

He's doing okay. I put some VetRx on his nose. He's eliminating just fine but is a little dirty on his feets, though he was in a cat carrier for a few days before going outside. I only gave him one little piece of collard greens quite a few days ago but they were running around my house for a...

Can someone please reassure me i'm not a horrible bunny owner and these things happen sometimes to babies? I only had her 5 days. The vet did an xray and said she'd never seen a bunny so backed up inside, from her esophogas into her intestines. Her breathing was very light and shallow and her...

We put Flora to sleep this afternoon.

I think Flora is sick. She's not being very active and is lethargic. I washed her hind quarters cause she got really dirty from yesterday like she's not moving much and just peeing on herself and she didn't even move when i put her feet under the faucet. I put her back in the cage and she just...
