I'm having a pretty hard time finding (and then making contact with) any one in my region that has American Blues. I have really fallen for the breed and I'm having a hard time accepting so few people raise them. I'm in north central Indiana, just south of the Michigan border. Does anyone have a...

This'll be our first winter with buns out in the raised cages and not in the barn. They're not out there now, they're in our barn and need to be moved asap. I was wondering what everyone uses to house their rabbits and keep them out of the wind. Is it completely enclosed? Do you just use nest...

My red buck and REW doe had a litter this week, and I'm scratching my head over the colors. I am VERY new to rabbit genetics, so please be gentle. My doe has four brokens and five pink babies I'm assuming are REW. Now, I'm wondering what reds look like in the nest box. I thought they were pink...

Thank you everyone who recommended their cages. They were super back-logged when we ordered at the beginning of May, so we just had them delivered last week. Hubs and I put them together, and they are wonderful! We've been using TSC cages as a temporary solution since bringing them in due to the...

Honey is FINALLY getting ready to kindle. We bred she and Edna two and a half days apart, I guess Edna went early and Honey is kindling late. I've been checking her like crazy every day expecting kits on the wire because she hasn't made one nest-y move. UNTIL NOW! This is great, because Edna did...

Edna kindled this morning, and we came in and found 7 cold hungry kits and two who had died. We didn't pay much attention to Edna right away, as we were concerned with pulling fur and warming the buns up. Looks like she broke her back somehow. We attached a few kits to nurse, and thought "Wow...

It's day 30, so I'm hoping to see our very first litter soon. Edna is sweet as pie, but not really attempting a nest. White Witch II is due Wed. Lord willing, by this weekend we'll have lots of bunnies! When we first ventured into dog breeding, we were SUPER DUPER prepared for just about...

I saw a thread about handling troublesome bunnies earlier, but I need to take this a step further. I just saw that one of our new does has some dried blood on her back foot. I was able to get a better look, and it seems like a nail on the other back foot was pulled partially off. Here's the...

We had a nice set up in our outbuilding for our buns. They were in hanging cages with fans, a mister and plenty of water. However, we ran into some problems with the power last night, and had to shut it off. According to the electrician husband, it'll be a very long while until he has time to...

Tomorrow, my hubs and I are picking up our Satin trio. We have a Red buck, white doe, and a broken black doe. I'm pretty excited we're finally getting this done. We have been looking forward to having rabbits for a long time now. :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop: :bunnyhop:

Seriously? Over $200 for a book? Seriously?

I've read that you shouldn't touch newborn kits. You can't until they're a few weeks old. If you do, the dams will eat them or reject them. I've also had two people tell me this. Now, I've had other people tell m this is ridiculous and I've seen photos on here of new kits being handled. Can...

My husband and I finally made the leap back to country life this summer, and bought our small farm. We both grew up in the country, so welcoming our first son in June was a big kick in the pants to get out of the city. We have big plans for our little chunk of paradise, and rabbits are first...
